FENIX NTM® LAMINATE
We use only resistant, long-lasting materials for our kitchens. We work with materials that have been designed and developed to be used in everyday life. Their surfaces are protected by means of special finishes aimed at camouflaging fingerprints and at protecting them from scratches and impacts. Laminate features a silky, matt surface that is pleasant to touch, water-repellent and easy to clean. It's a perfect material for the kitchen.
Nevertheless, not all laminates are the same and there are huge differences in terms of quality.
For this reason we have decided not to use thin, 0.9-mm thick sheets of laminate applied to MDF or chipboard panels. Instead, we use 4-mm thick laminate applied directly to the frame with no backing panel. This means that there are no glued-on edges and we can guarantee total water resistance.

*We advise against using black for laminate worktops because it is difficult to remove some stains – especially greasy ones - from this colour. This does not apply to the other colours.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF FENIX NTM® LAMINATE
Fenix NTA is high-end laminate produced by © Arpa Industriale Spa. It has an anti-fingerprint, pleasant, soft-touch surface.
FENIX products are super-matt, paper-based materials. They are made up of over 60% paper and 30-40% heat-setting resins. FENIX products are created through a special process during which heat and pressure are simultaneously applied to obtain an even, non-porous product. The external surface of FENIX is obtained by applying a multi-layered overlay and features new-generation acrylic resins which are hardened and fixed by means of the Electron Beam Curing process.

Its poor light reflection properties and its silky finish - that is pleasant to touch -make this an extraordinary mass-produced material that exceeds the performances of the best matt lacquers. FENIX NTM® is also currently the most scratch-resistant laminate on the market. Any minute scratches can be removed with a sponge while deeper scratches can be repaired by means of a heat treatment.
Colours from FENIX NTM® different from those shown in our catalogue are available on request after having checked for feasibility.
