polytec’s standing in the decorative surfaces industry has grown with the launch of its latest range – Metallic Leaf.
Metallic finishes have been popular in design since ancient times. And the modern design world has cottoned on with metallic finishes flourishing on all facets of decoration – from industrial design to modern style. The reason is obvious; metallic style can add an enhanced sense of glamour and style to any space, whether it be a feature wall, open shelving and cabinets or joinery highlights.
Polytec’s Metallic Leaf range offers a subtle yet impactful addition to a kitchen, bathroom or commercial project – adding a timeless sense of class and even a regal appeal. The finish options include copper, platinum, gold, light brass and rose gold, all ideal to pair with solid classic matt surfaces to create a sense of luxury.
Unique to each design, the Metallic Leaf range has inherent metallic properties that show directional lines and waves, leaving each colour unique and special to the design.
Available now as a prefinished board in a Matt finish in a mix of sizes, see the full range at polytec.com.au.
