Scratch-Proof, Sun-Proof & Spill-Proof? Test Your Laminate Knowledge

Laminates are the perfect material to achieve the Pinterest-worthy look without actually breaking the bank-but what are they? They are a synthetic finishing material designed to resemble wood and are made up of several layers such as fiberboard and melamine resin. In homes, laminates are a popular material for finishing the surfaces of furniture, walls, and floors. As far as interiors are concerned, it has become a highly demanded material in modern interior design due to its adaptability, sophisticated appearance, exceptional quality, and affordable cost. Wood laminate is the most popular type of laminate used in offices, homes, and other commercial settings.


But do you think that’s all about laminates? In this article, we’re going to test your laminate knowledge. So, buckle up.

Laminate Myths vs. Facts (Let’s Bust Some!)


There are many myths associated with laminates in the market. Once you learn them, it’ll be a good test of your laminate knowledge.


Myth: Laminates are fragile


There’s a myth that laminates are quite fragile, get scratched easily, and are just not durable enough. That’s not the case with CenturyLaminates. The Lookbook line of laminates is scratch-resistant and comes with a 10-year warranty to address any future issues.


Myth: Laminates fade under sunlight


Another common myth is that laminates lose their colour when exposed to the sun for a long time. But this is only true for low-quality materials. CenturyLaminates come with colour-fastness and high-gloss options. The colour stays intact for a long time.


Myth: Laminates get damaged easily with spills


This one isn’t entirely a myth. Poor-quality laminates may get damaged or swollen even with minor spills. But with CenturyLaminates, that’s not the case. Our laminates stand strong as they are stain-resistant and easy to clean.

Myth: Laminates are boring and outdated


This myth comes from people visiting local stores and seeing only 5–10 options, making them believe laminates are boring. With CenturyLaminates from CenturyPly, you get over 100 options-each with a unique use case. Choose from our extensive selection, whether matte or glossy laminates.


How to Choose the Right Laminate for Your Space


CenturyLaminates has so many options, so how do you choose the right one? Here are a few things to consider:


  • Consider location:

The first thing to decide is where the laminates will be used. For example, shiny Lucida laminates are perfect for the kitchen, while Silk Tuff might be more suitable for the living room. You can consult our experts for guidance.


  • Prioritise features:

Next, figure out which features you need. For example, CenturyLaminates has a range of anti-fingerprint laminates that won’t show fingerprints. Our laminates are also scratch and heat-resistant, making them super durable.
