Melteca launches with new natural ‘Organic’ Look

Weare excited to announce the launch of Melteca Organic, a new finish for Melteca 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.

One of the first people to use the product is Karen Harlen, a Design and Sales Consultant at Bays Joinery who was completing her own home renovation. We have gathered some feedback on her experience and thoughts about the finish.

“The first time I got to see the Organic finish was at the NKBA Conference in Queenstown and it was love at first sight. I loved the Borders Oak colour for my space. My budget needed to stretch to include the luxurious Laminex

Organic makes it difficult to distinguish between Melteca and more costly stained veneer.

Acrylic Panels in White Linen for my kitchen leaving absolutely no space for a stained veneer as my accent and feature colour. The Borders Oak décor had the ideal depth of colour I needed to work in with my chosen benchtop but I was hesitant to use any of the other timber finishes for my project.

Our ‘two month project’ became a six month trial of love and endurance! However I was fortunate it meant I was able to complete my project in my ideal board, making all the difference in my world. I have had other colleagues over to my house and we are all in agreement - Organic is a complete winner.

Organic makes it difficult to distinguish between Melteca and more costly stained veneer. There are few repeats in the indents making it look like a natural product. The indents also vary in depth, just like real timber. I have relied on Puregrain finish in the past, which looks great on lighter coloured board however can have a slightly waxy look on darker board. In the work that we do with clients, Organic is going to help us achieve a premium look on a lower budget.”

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.

The Melteca Organic finish will be available in 80 out of 85 Melteca decors, so there is sure to be a colour for endless design possibilities.
