In the Healthcare environment cleanliness is the key factor in consideration for surfaces. Typically specifiers choose traditional High Pressure Laminates for the casework because they are unfamiliar with 3D Laminates.
Unlike traditional laminates which use edgebanding, 3D Laminates enable the door fronts and table tops to be seamless and monlithic. This is critical as germs can penetrate and bacteria can harvest in seams used in traditional 2D or 1D surfaces. When 3D Laminates are formed over MDF, they enable the top or drawer front to be sealed and therefore prohibit spills or splashes from penetrating cracks or seams in the work surface. And since 3D Laminates are non porous messes can be cleaned up with soap and water.
Dackor manufacturers both horizontal and vertical grade 3D Laminates and also has a program to do custom runs from only 600 Linear Yards. In addition, the company can produce custom cylinders from as little as 1400 Linear Yards to create custom designs to meet the hospital or Healthcare Furniture provider.
Also, 3D Laminates are affordable. When compared with Solid Surface, for example, 3D Laminate components are typically 1/3 rd or at least 1/2 the cost of products like Corian or Engineered Stone products like Silestone or Ceasarstone.
Currently 3D Laminates are typically used for Closets, lower end Kitchens with raised panel doors for apartments and high end modern Kitchens. Synthetic laminate surfaces are often mistaken to be lower end, however, Dackor supplies high end companies with surfaces such as Mercedes and BMW for auto interiors, Louis Vuitton and Gucci for hand bags and shoes and exotic Kitchen companies in Germany, France and Italy.
In North America, Architects and Designers are slowly becoming more aware of how to specify Dackor for Furniture surfaces and they are finding that our consistency, durability and fashionable decors create an upscale environment that is both functionable and tasteful.
If you are a manufacturer of 3D Laminate components and currently target Healthcare, please inquire about our custom print cylinder program for your best clients. Some ideas include a custom cylinder featuring "Teddy Bears & Stethoscopes", "Tooth Designs" and other abstracts specifically catered to its target market.
