How to Choose the Best Laminate for Your Joinery Project
Let’s face it—laminate makes or breaks your joinery design.
From bold colour palettes to subtle textures, the right laminate can completely transform your space. But with so many options on the market, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.
At Creador, we work with builders, developers, and architects every day to make the laminate selection process simple, smart, and stress-free.
Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the perfect fit:
1. Match Your Aesthetic
From natural timber looks to high-gloss finishes, the laminate you choose should support your design intent. Whether you’re after minimalist, classic, or bold, there's a finish that aligns perfectly with your vision.
Pro Tip: Laminex, Polytec, and other local brands offer a wide range of styles, and we can supply them all.
This means you’re getting the performance of premium materials, without blowing the budget.
2. Choose for Durability
High-traffic areas? Go for scratch-resistant, stain-resistant laminates. If the project is for kitchens, bathrooms, or hospitality, make sure the material can handle heat, moisture, and impact.
We’ll help you source options that balance looks and long-term performance.
3. Set Your Budget (But Don’t Compromise)
Cost matters—but quality shouldn’t suffer. That’s where our modular system and high-density particle board come in handy. They allow you to use beautiful laminates without going over budget.
4. Consider Sustainability
Want to align with Green Star or other environmental ratings? Ask about eco-certified laminate options and sustainable core materials. We’ve got them covered.
