Laminate Design drives forward
In association with a major Italian car manufacturer, the recent Frankfurt Motor Show was a high profile showcase for Abet’s new Metalprint high pressure laminate Collection.
Several styles from the Collection in the ‘Bubble’ design were used on the floor of the stand, helping to create an ultra-modern stage on which to display their latest cars.
Metalprint is one of several new collections from Abet. It consists of 60 new designs in two distinct images – bubble and grille. These are available in solid, translucent and wood varieties and in gloss, matt or coloured finishes. Since its launch late last year, Metalprint has proved a very popular choice among architects, interior designers and specifiers for innovative design projects.
The new Collection is another example of Abet’s design-led approach and its innovative, creative concepts for laminate. With new Collections launched every year, the company now offers a selection of over 1,000 different colours, styles and patterns.

Laminating McDonalds
Different Images using Digital Print technology from Abet Ltd have been used in a pilot scheme for McDonalds in Liverpool.
The Digital Print system used an electronic method of reproduction together with inkjet technology to obtain high definition printing including tones and shades.
This system offers architects and designers unparalleled freedom to create unique and unusual concepts in high pressure laminate by using Abet's new technology. This method of reproducing images has revolutionised the way in which laminates are used in interior design by introducing a completely new medium for expressing visual ideas. The laminate is not only aesthetically very pleasing but it also provides surfaces which are resistant to damage or abuse and can be very easily cleaned.
