Embossed-in-Register (EIR) is an advanced embossing technique used on flooring products such as vinyl plank. It's a great feature to look for if you want realistic, quality vinyl plank flooring.
There’s nothing more disheartening than seeing sun damage on your flooring after you have invested so much time and effort to get that perfect look you paid for. If you have a space with high sunlight, you need to consider a fade-resistant flooring.
Sunlight exposure is considered 'high' if it gets 6 or more hours of direct exposure throughout the day, i.e. a living space with north-facing windows. This is an important consideration, as some products are more resistant than others to harsh New Zealand sunlight.
What is the best flooring for high sun? At Woodland Lifestyle, we pride ourselves on the high quality of our laminate flooring, and with that comes long-lasting fade resistance for even the sunniest of New Zealand homes.
Anti-fade laminate flooring for homes and businesses
At Woodland Lifestyle, we offer a range of laminates that accurately mimic real wood with a unique, organic aesthetic, avoiding any impression of repeating wood patterns when installed in your space. The result is a high-quality laminate that can produce the look of hardwood floors without the risk of fading in the sun.
What makes laminate flooring fade-resistant?
Modern laminate flooring is an incredibly high-tech flooring. Through an extensive manufacturing process, our quality laminate flooring receives protective coatings to ensure they are resistant to water, scratches and of course, sunlight! Whilst laminates aren’t 100% fade-proof, with the right treatment, they remain fade-resistant for a very long time.
This fade resistance comes from a clear barrier coating of aluminium oxide and UV protectant, which provides a high-grade protective layer to the laminate boards, safeguarding against long-term sun exposure. Alongside other layers of wax and sealant, laminates are designed to be as strong and long-lasting as possible.
For rooms of constant intense sunlight, we recommend doubling up protection through the use of UV-resistant window coatings or films. This ensures you are protecting all of the furniture in your space from sun damage, as well as your flooring.
What about laminate flooring for bathrooms?
For bathrooms, hard-wearing laminate can be the perfect option, especially as real wood floors are not suitable in wet and humid areas. But a good-looking laminate must be more than just water-resistant; it also needs to be fade-resistant.
In bathrooms with high sun, our laminates deliver a modern hardwood look that will fool even those with a keen eye. Take a look at our Oasis, Zenku and Euro Deluxe laminates for a beautiful and refined look, a 100% waterproof surface, and of course, high-quality fade resistance.
