What do McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Burger King have in common, aside of course from being some of the most popular food chains dominating the local food scene?

All three use Wilsonart laminates for their customer dining tabletop and countertop. One can add in the list Hung Fu, another popular foodie destination offering Hong Kong style dimsum.

There must be something about Wilsonart laminates that make it the brand of choice of architects and interior designers of these food chains. Wilsonart laminates, known for quality, function and cutting-edge design, are US-made material for tabletops or surface, kitchentops, countertops, wall panels, interior finishes, cabinets and drawers.

And with over 360 colors to choose from, how can one go wrong?

"We stand by the quality of Wilsonart laminates such that our guarantee offer is up to 25 years," said Joseph Ang, president of Multi-Rich Home Decors, Inc., the sole distributor of Wilsonart laminates in the Philippines.

MRHDI, established in 1980, brings to the country innovative and state of the art building materials. It first made its mark in the local construction industry when it brought in Italian granites and marble slabs for the booming commercial and residential interior design market.

But why would one choose Wilsonart laminates over other brand names?

Definitely cheaper than if one is to use paint which make take several coatings to get the desired color and effect. And Wilsonart laminates are easy to clean. Definitely homemaker-friendly.

On the aesthetics side. Wilsonart laminates can give interiors that classy and elegant look. Take it from ABC 5, ABS-CBN Channel 2 & GMA 7 which had its lobby and dressing rooms finished with Wilsonart laminates. A versatile surfacing material, Wilsonart can make wonders out of ordinary plywood and rough walls.

Wilsonart has been in the market for 12 years now but they continue to come out with new products for the rapidly expanding market.

One of their latest products is Chemsurf, a chemical resistant laminate developed by Wilsonart used for laboratory cabinets, counters and tabletops in hospitals, nurses’ stations, physicians’ and dentists’ examining and treatment rooms as well as pathologists’ work rooms.

According to Ang, Chemsurf is also practical for beauty salons, photographers’ dark room, residential utility counters and testing facilities. It is preferred by architects and designers because of superior chemical resistance to more than 100 stains and chemical agents. Moreover, it has proven to be highly resistant to scratch and wear.

Ang expressed optimism that as the building and construction industry continue to pick up, there will be more demands for quality finishing products like Wilsonart laminates. By then, his company will be more than willing to give in to what the market wants.
