Melteca launches with new natural ‘Organic’ look

Laminex New Zealand is excited to announce the launch of Melteca Organic, a new finish for its melamine panels that gives a natural look to the popular product. The new Organic finish emulates the beauty and natural movement of timber, with varying depths of grooves in the texture.

“Global trends see the desire for a connection to the outdoors – bringing nature into our home – which plays an important role in our wellbeing,” said Sarah Evaroa, Panels Category Manager. “The pattern on the Organic finish follows this trend.”

H1 roof solution is here

To meet the requirements of H1/AS1’s Viking Roofspec have designed an entirely new and warm roof solution. We have analysed every component for performance, cost, thickness, and function.

We assessed the entire installation methodology with a focus on construction practicality. And what we have ended up with is a fully engineer-certified structural insulated membrane system which:

• exceeds H1 (5th edition) thermal performance;

• has the thinnest possible insulation build-up;

• reduces installation time and construction delays; and

• is a cost effective and ecofriendly warm roof system.

Introducing Viking WarmSpan2 Warmspan2 has a 17mm tongue & groove plywood substrate with no edge nogging required and supports as wide as 900mm centres which is less than half the structural timber required under E2/AS1.

Melteca Organic is not only suitable for woodgrain decors, but also stunning pressed onto solid colours. It has the same features and benefits that Melteca is known for, such as scratch and stain resistance, UV stability, and a ten-year limited warranty.

“Melteca is manufactured locally in our Laminex New Zealand Hamilton plant,” Evaroa continued. “And Melteca product is FSC certified when pressed to MDF and has environmental choice certification.”

The Melteca brand carries a strong history of providing highly durable and stylish surfaces for residential and commercial kitchen cabinetry, bathroom vanities, shelving and bespoke furniture. With this latest release, Laminex New Zealand continues its tradition of innovation and providing customers with the best possible products.

It has a self-adhered vapour barrier (no primer required) and a single layer of 135mm foil-facer PIR insulation board, with a 6.4mm coverboard waterproofed by one of Viking’s Enviroclad or Torch-on membrane systems.

Warmspan2 is a warm roof system that meets the challenges posed by the changes to H1 (5th edition). It reduces construction time; minimises cost; and assists with design.
