Wall panelling: Laminex has an exciting new offering!

August 10, 2021 3 Comments

FacebookPinEmailTweet

The latest wall panel solution to hit what is an ever-expanding scene, Surround by Laminex is a new range of profiles designed to help add texture and personality to your home. And with eight fabulous designs to choose from, we’re rather excited about the endless decorating opportunities that the range represents. And as a bonus, the collection of pre-primed MDF wall linings are easy to use, making them perfect for a weekend DIY project.

The Batten 25 wall panel design painted with Dulux Clay

From a gorgeous, scalloped design to a classic VJ or heritage profile, the ready made decorative surface panels are made for the indoors (ie. theyโ€™re not suitable for wet areas) and are a fabulous way to add depth and interest to a hallway, bedroom, mudroom, or main living area. Comprised of sustainably sourced timber and medium-density fibreboard, the panels are available in a standard sheet that can be painted the colour of your choosing, once installed. 

โ€œWhen conceptualising Surround by Laminex, quality and ease of application were two key factors. The panels are durable and hardwearing, whilst still being easy to install. Surround by Laminex really is a product like no other,โ€ says Sacha Leagh-Murray, general manager of sales and marketing.

Sustainably manufactured in Australia, the range is created with medium-density fibreboard (MDF), and the timbers of the collection are sustainably sourced too.

The Batten 100 design is a modern, masculine take on classic timber panelling that features defined boards separated by deep, straight-edged grooves. Similar, but much smaller in scale, Batten 25 is a statement narrow board that features defined edges and deeper routing.

The Classic VJ 100 is as it sounds โ€“ classic tongue and groove panelling offers a timeless look in just about any space and this design features linear boards separated by vertical joins (VJ). Heritage 150 is ideal for period homes and, with its wider boards defined by curved joints, it’s an update on the more traditional timber panels 

Scallop 45 has a uniquely rounded, undulating curved profile that creates a luxe statement, while Scallop 22.5 is similar but narrower in width. The Demi Round 40 is another softly curved profile that is well suited to both full and half-wall applications and its little sister, the Demi Round 20, features narrow curved rods.

It's not just the award winning designer houses that get us excited here. It's also the beloved family homes which are renovated and extended to make them fit for purpose so people can continue to live where they love ๐Ÿค—

@inspiredspacesaus helped her clients with teenage kids transform this house in Sydney's Hills District inside and out, making it their forever home. 

Due to the nature of the block they could only extend sideways and then gave it street appeal with render, new windows and doors.

See inside on the blog now, via link in bio. It was completely overhauled!

Funny how we go into super organised mama mode in times like these. Grabbed dinosaurs, textas and scrapbook on the way out in case we had a long wait!

    Love the Scallop 45, and seriously thinking about it as a full height feature wall in my master bedroom.

    However, I can’t get my mind around having a dado rail on that particular wall at the very top, yet no other wall currently has one (based on the need to have a 10mm gap top and bottom). The bottom of the wall is fine, as each wall has a skirting board.

    Is it just me, or will this look really weird???

      It is a beautiful new product but being so new it’s hard to visualise or know what to do isn’t it? If I were you, I’d contact Laminex direct and ask for their advice. Jen

    Thanks Jen, yes it’s a tough one!

    I was hoping an interior decorator might have had a few tips, but agree that with such a new product that makes it hard:)
