French manufacturer Schmidt is highlighting its selection of laminate work surfaces and splashbacks that it says are able to enhance any kitchen scheme, and work perfectly for homeowners who are keen to achieve the luxe look for less.
The company says that laminate surfaces have come on leaps and bounds in recent years with the latest designs offering the same tactile smoothness of a honed natural stone, but with added durability and resilience. Schmidt’s laminate collection is said by the brand to be water-resistant, hardwearing and long-lasting and is available in everything from stone styles such as Moonstone, Etna Grey and Canyon to the marble effects of Paladina, Yule and Marmor. It also includes an on-trend Terrazzo, concrete styles including Rocca Grey and Scala as well as the wood looks of Vintage Oak, Amber Oak, Harvey and Alabama.
Schmidt’s laminate surfaces also come in a wide choice to suit every scheme. The main palette offers 34 colours in stone and wood effects. There is also a laminate with a nano finish, which comes in five colours and thicknesses of 20mm and 39mm. This ultra-matt surface has a silky-smooth touch without the worry of fingerprints or scratches, as these can be removed with the wipe of a sponge. Schmidt also offers a compact laminate in a choice of four colours and a thickness of 12mm. This ultra-thin laminate is resistant to moisture and gives kitchens a contemporary look.
“We know that a new kitchen is a big investment,” said Tamara Heller, marketing operations manager at Schmidt UK. “Which is why we offer an unrivalled range of high-quality stone and wood-effect laminate surfaces that create a luxurious look and feel in any space, without the high cost to match. Once you touch the tactility for yourself, you won’t believe that it's made from laminate. This allows homeowners to create their ultimate dream kitchen, no matter what their budget.”
