Euro-Laminates: The Best of Several Worlds

You favor the rich, elegant look of wood cabinetry. A Cherry, Planked Pear or Walnut, perhaps. You are also looking for a good price point, durability and a product that will stand up to a humid climate. And, naturally it would be good to be as “green” as possible in the process. Not a difficult wish list when you consider Euro-Laminates from Neff of Chicago.

Laminates are produced when photographic reproductions of wood grains are bonded to engineered wood. To create the very real wood look of Neff Euro-Laminates, man made 1:1 reproductions of wood grains are integrated with engineered woods using high pressure production techniques, then finished as textured open wood grains, with low sheen or high gloss shine. 

Each species and color option in the Neff Euro-Laminates line is produced with a variety of grain patterns to provide a natural wood look, whether you select Cherry, Walnut, Oak, Planked Pear, Dark Olive, Amber Birdseye or English Sycamore. In fact, laminates can offer more consistent color than real woods, which will have natural imperfections. And yes, laminates are a “greener choice” because you are enjoying the beautiful look of exotic woods without cutting down a single tree.

For a little more drama, you might want to look at the textured wood grain laminates: Silver or Gryphon Fir and Cream or Mocha Rift Oak. Without a topcoat, the finish will be textured wood grain. Adding a low sheen or gloss topcoat produces a smooth “full fill” finish.

Another new addition to the Neff laminate line speaks to those who like a warm silky finish. The subtle tone and grain of Venetian Cherry silk laminate is lighter in color and browner in tone than the regular Cherry laminate. And, it’s an excellent interior finish choice for Neff’s Valet closets.

Decide for yourself it there is a laminate in your future. Take a closer look at the Neff line of Euro-Laminates.
