Kristian and Mimi’s DIY Challenge was a beautiful feature wall using Laminex Surround and the judges loved it. They selected the ‘Scallop 45’ profile - a stylish and popular design characterised by wide, softly undulating curves for a luxurious touch. Laminex wall panels are primed and ready to paint – saving you time without compromising on beauty and functionality.
