Our surf(x) 3D Laminates have developed a strong reputation in healthcare environments due to their durability and dimensional flexibility. surf(x) 3D Laminates can be membrane-pressed or vacuum-formed, eliminating the need for T-molding, edgebanding and visible seams. A seamless design may help mitigate potential contaminants and can simplify cleaning.
