Will Navlam Timber Laminate Fade in the Sun?
NAVLAM Sandblasted laminates are reconstructed from natural timbers and will react to direct and indirect sunlight. The pre-finished surface contains a UV inhibitor that offers some protection against discolouration, but like all natural products, colour variation will occur over time.
Prolonged exposure to direct light may cause timber veneers to undergo sudden and irregular colour changes.
Can I use Navlam Timber Laminates for Curves?
Yes! Our Navlam laminate sheets can create beautiful curve features within a project space. The bend along the long grain achieves a radius of 150mm. Bent along the short grain achieves a radius of 200mm.
How do you Clean and Care for the Navlam Laminate Sheets?
NAVLAM Sandblasted surfaces are easy to clean. Simply use a cloth dampened with warm water and detergent. If in doubt about a particular cleaning product or detergent, check with the manufacturer for suitability. Avoid the following when cleaning, as these substances and materials could damage the finish and make the surface susceptible to staining:
- Acetone or trichloroethylene
- Abrasive cleaners, harsh detergents, and powders
- Scouring pads, steel wool and sandpaper
- Ceramic cooktop cleaners
- Bathroom and tile cleaners
- Oven cleaners
- Chlorine bleach
Accidental spills or splatters of any harsh substance should be wiped off immediately and the area cleaned thoroughly with a damp cloth.
