How to Maintain Laminates in Hyderabad’s Humid Climate

1. Keep Surfaces Dry and Well-Ventilated

Humidity can slowly weaken laminate bonding and lead to surface warping.
✅ Prevention Tips:

  • Avoid prolonged water exposure, especially near kitchen sinks and bathroom cabinets.

  • Wipe spills immediately with a soft, dry cloth.

  • Ensure proper cross-ventilation to reduce indoor moisture.

  • Use exhaust fans or dehumidifiers in enclosed kitchens and bathrooms.

Kyzo Advantage:
Kyzo laminates are made using moisture-resistant resins that prevent swelling and delamination — making them ideal for Hyderabad’s tropical climate.

2. Clean Gently, Not Aggressively

Harsh cleaning methods or chemical-based products can dull the laminate surface.
✅ Use:

  • A soft microfiber cloth for daily dusting.

  • Mild soap solution (diluted) for oily kitchen stains.

  • Avoid abrasive sponges, acids, or alcohol-based cleaners.

Pro Tip:
For glossy laminates, always wipe in circular motions to maintain their shine without leaving streaks.

3. Avoid Direct Sunlight Exposure

Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade surface colors over time.
✅ Protection Tips:

  • Use curtains or blinds to block harsh UV rays during peak hours.

  • For window-side wardrobes or wall panels, opt for UV-resistant Kyzo Laminates that maintain color consistency.

  • Rotate decorative pieces or furniture occasionally to prevent uneven fading.

Kyzo Laminates are fade-resistant and built to handle direct heat better than regular laminates — ideal for Hyderabad homes with open layouts.

4. Maintain Proper Sealing and Edgebanding

Humidity often enters through open laminate edges, especially near the floor or sink areas.
✅ Ensure:

  • All laminate edges are properly sealed with PVC edge bands (available under Kyzo hardware).

  • Avoid leaving gaps during installation.

  • Inspect joints periodically — reapply adhesive if edges start to lift.

Proper sealing can extend laminate life by years, especially in kitchen base units or bathroom vanities.

5. Control Indoor Humidity

If your interiors are exposed to monsoon dampness or lack ventilation, simple home measures can help.
✅ Do this:

  • Use moisture absorbers like silica gel or camphor balls inside wardrobes.

  • Keep wardrobe doors slightly open once a week to let air circulate.

  • In closed apartments, use an air purifier with a dehumidification function during peak humidity.

Bonus:
Kyzo’s liner laminates (0.72mm) are perfect for inner wardrobe and cabinet surfaces — they prevent back-side swelling and offer additional humidity protection.

6. Prevent Heat and Steam Damage

In kitchens, laminates near the stove or oven are often exposed to steam and heat.
✅ Tips to protect:

  • Always install a chimney or exhaust fan to reduce steam condensation.

  • Keep hot utensils or appliances on trivets, not directly on laminate countertops.

  • For heavy-use areas, choose Kyzo heat-resistant laminates designed for modular kitchens.

Result: Furniture that looks fresh, even in high-heat cooking zones.

7. Schedule Periodic Maintenance

Regular checks help identify early signs of moisture damage.
✅ Every 3–6 months:

  • Inspect laminate edges, corners, and undersides.

  • Tighten hardware fittings like hinges and channels (loose fittings allow humidity to seep in).

  • Reapply mild polish to matte or suede laminates for a refreshed look.

Kyzo laminates are engineered for easy upkeep — minimal effort, maximum durability.
