We discover the differences between laminate and excimer painted panels, and the advantages and the disadvantages of these two materials.
Pros and cons of laminate
Laminate is a panel composed of three or four layers: the base, MDF, or chipboard, is covered with two other layers, a protective cellulose film and a decorative sheet. Usually, the decorative sheet takes up the appearance of wood: laminate is often used as an inexpensive but resistant alternative.
However, obtaining this resistance relies on two protective layers, cellulose and decorative. These have many advantages, such as high resistance and ease of cleaning, but they can also have some disadvantages, which must be taken into account to consciously choose the material suitable for your needs.
A laminate panel for example has these characteristics:
· It cannot be repaired in any way, so in case of scratches should be completely replaced.
· Relying on only a protective film, it does not withstand enough moisture to be installed in particularly humid places, such as the bathroom.
· Even in the finest laminates, the cover will never be perfectly homogeneous but the joints in the edges will always be visible.
Excimer coating: uniformity, elegance, and long life
On the contrary, panels of Perfect Lac have a coating of paint that, after being applied uniformly, is irradiated with short-wave UV light in the absence of oxygen. The panel is completely painted, allowing it to obtain a homogeneous and seamless effect. This type of finishing, called excimers, gives Perfect Lac different properties.
· Superior resistance to cuts and abrasions. In addition, you can quickly and easily repair micro-scratches and superficial imperfections due to daily use.
· Its surface has a pleasant touch effect, as velvety as silk.
· The opaque effect, at 2.5 gloss, is obtained without using opaque pastes: therefore, it is guaranteed over time.
· Thanks to the excimer drying, no fingerprints remain on Perfect Lac surfaces.
· Perfect Lac is also available in the version with the water-repellent panel, which resists water even in very humid environments such as bathrooms, kitchens, and gyms.
· It is very easy to clean thanks to its smooth and non-porous surface, which ensures quick maintenance.
· Its special sanitizing paint reduces by 99% the proliferation of bacteria on the surface.
