Laminate surfaces have become one of the most sought-after materials in contemporary office interiors – offering durability, visual warmth, and limitless design flexibility. That’s why Ultima Laminates have become a go-to choice for architects and interior designers across New Zealand who want their office projects to feel elevated, energetic, and welcoming.
Below are five key reasons why laminate surfaces are the perfect solution for office desks, furniture, and fit-outs.
1. Add Colour and Energy to the Workplace
Laminates instantly uplift even the most neutral environments. Whether you’re designing focused work zones or vibrant breakout areas, Ultima offers a vast colour palette to bring your design vision to life. Explore our Premier Range Catalogue and our Premium Range that is in stock in New Zealand to see how colour can transform your next office project.
2. Endless Design Possibilities
From natural timber looks to stone, marble, and solid-colour finishes, laminates provide incredible design flexibility. Ultima’s latest collection introduces 4 new textures, 75 new designs, and over 370 refined neutral tones – perfect for creating cohesive, modern workspaces. These realistic finishes allow you to achieve the look of premium materials while staying within budget.
3. Built to Withstand Moisture and Daily Use
Unlike painted or raw timber surfaces, Ultima laminate sheets are highly moisture-resistant – making them ideal for office furniture, worktops, pantries, and washroom walls. They retain their appearance and performance even in high-humidity environments, protecting the substrate and extending product life.
Among these, the AFX range represents the pinnacle of laminate innovation. Featuring advanced anti-fingerprint technology and a luxurious soft-touch matte finish, AFX surfaces resist marks, scratches, and wear – making them the ultimate choice for office desking and premium commercial interiors. The result is a refined, contemporary surface that combines exceptional durability with effortless maintenance.
4. Easy Maintenance and Long-Term Durability
Laminated desks and tabletops are built for real-world use. They resist stains, scratches, and surface wear – ideal for busy offices where furniture endures daily contact. Maintenance couldn’t be easier: a simple wipe with a microfibre cloth keeps surfaces looking new for years.
5. Designed for Healthier Workspaces
With growing awareness of workplace hygiene, laminates offer an additional layer of protection. Ultima’s Greenlam laminates feature 99.99% resistance to bacteria and microbes, helping create cleaner, safer, and healthier office environments.
Commercial Applications
Today’s workplaces reflect brand identity, creativity, and inclusivity. Greenlam’s world-class laminates, compact boards, and engineered door sets help define that identity – combining beauty with practical benefits such as antibacterial protection, anti-fingerprint technology, and high-wear performance.
From desking and joinery to public areas and high-traffic surfaces, Greenlam products deliver exceptional durability, easy maintenance, and timeless aesthetics – all backed by environmental responsibility and design versatility.
