Walls, ceilings and joinery work in seamless harmony thanks to this elevated alternative to traditional timber battens
October 1st, 2024
Over the last 90 years, Laminex has become known across the region for their quality, authenticity, and distinctly Australian spirit. With an ethos of blending the stylish with the sustainable, their products are a favourite among designers and a staple in residential and commercial architectural spaces. Their highly anticipated launch carries on this legacy of design-driven innovation, with an all-new Architectural Walls and Ceiling Panels range that is set to bring versatility and refinement in a cost-effective, efficient system.
Joining the range of laminates, joinery systems, wall panelling, timber products, and acrylic surfaces, the Architectural Walls and Ceiling Panels are a reimagining of timber battens that combine the warmth of timber with the signature performance of Laminex.
Crafted from a selection of realistic woodgrain decors from the Laminex Colour Collection, the panels are designed to make an impact on interior spaces. Finishes of Laminex Raw Birch Ply, Classic Oak, Sublime Teak, Danish Walnut, Planked Urban Oak, and Blackened Legno can be applied to a range of three linear profiles, with VGroove 100, Batten 60, and Batten 40 offering varied widths and groove styles to suit different spaces and applications. A standard black shadowline adds contrast and depth to the battens, while a natural shadowline for the Sublime Teak decor has a more minimalist feel for Scandinavian typologies.
As a prefinished system, the Architectural Walls and Ceiling Panels are efficient and cost-effective. Their innovative InvisiLock™ joining system allows for an installation process that’s up to three times faster than traditional individual battens, and can be done using only standard tools and fixings. Exclusive to the Laminex Architectural Wall Panel range, the InvisiLock™ joining system allows each panel to be connected seamlessly, providing a bow and gap-free finish, while a decorated MDF base material is scratch, stain, and impact resistant.
The new Laminex Architectural Walls and Ceiling Panels effortlessly unite walls, ceilings, and joinery to craft thoughtfully designed and materially rich spaces. Their range of finishes and customisation options can provide distinctive timber contrasts or perfect woodgrain harmony, while still being able to withstand the wear and tear of commercial environments. The end result is an elevated, cost-effective alternative to timber battens, where flawless integration and rich materiality are just a simple installation away.
