Galerie gives specifiers the opportunity to choose from a collection of over 800 designs comprising a multitude of decors and finishes inspired by the most prominent design and societal trends driving the interiors market. With 90 new decors and a new Silk finish which brings Galerie’s total number of finish options to 18, Polyrey has fused premium technical performance with aesthetic impact.
Polyrey, which is part of global engineered surfaces manufacturer, Wilsonart, has taken inspiration from the functionality and ambience sought by users of commercial spaces in creating its Galerie collection. The range also taps into current design trends such as nature, sustainability, originality and nostalgia; each of which can be seen in the range of colours and textured finishes on offer.
Created to make surface selection as quick and as simple as possible for any project, Galerie boasts two complementary ranges: Integral and Plus. Within the Integral collection, every design is available in high pressure laminate (HPL), melamine faced composite (MFC) and compact laminate. The Galerie Plus collection, presents specifiers with an additional set of premium designs available in HPL and compact laminate.
Lines of communication between architects, designers and fabricators are enhanced through the release of the Polyrey infoGuide: a single source of product information and availability for Galerie as well as complementary surfaces for cubicles and washrooms.
With décor categories of solid colours inspired by current interiors trends, woods capable of mimicking the look and feel of the natural environment, and even a leather look, specifiers can take inspiration from a plethora of different sources to make their vision a reality.
New décors introduced by Polyrey for the first time include the elegant and calming Bleu Poudré, the earthy warmth of Beige Nude, the harmonic woodgrain of Orme Elegant and the striking dark marble, Marbre Alcino; enabling specifiers to embrace contemporary trends on their projects.
The breadth of colours and decors available across the Galerie collection is matched by the choice of finishes on offer. Its HPL designs are available with as many as 18 different finishes, including the soft matte Touch and Silk options.
Touch offers three anti-fingerprint finishes, available in a choice of 18 décors where premium marbles and stones complement a variety of on-trend plain colours. Galerie’s Silk range, meanwhile, offers an accessible alternative which blends a matte finish with a silky feel and low reflectiveness.
Completing the portfolio are Galerie’s Monochrom collection and its Signature library, which offers a collection of unique and striking patterns for a more daring approach to design.
Polyrey has underpinned its flagship range with an expanded commitment to environmental responsibility and its transparency. Last year saw Polyrey granted a Silver sustainability award by EcoVadis, the world’s most trusted business sustainability ratings.
Polyrey’s commitment to sustainability sees an unrivalled 20% of the brand’s HPL composed of recycled paper. Its MFC boasts similarly impressive environmental credentials with renewable materials making up 85% of the overall product composition.
George Emms, Specification Sales Manager at Polyrey UK said: “The launch of our Galerie collection is the most significant product innovation we have brought to market in over five years and gives architects, specifiers and designers access to the largest single collection of interior surfaces to meet the requirements of any commercial project.
“As the name of our new collection suggests, we’ve centred our investment around presenting specifiers with the kind of aesthetic possibilities they are unlikely to find anywhere else. By combining this extensive choice with a simple approach to surface selection, we’re aiming to make the specification process smooth and efficient, with an end result that is visual stunning.”
Polyrey’s comprehensive product offering is supported by an expert team of professionals, geared towards aiding architects and specifiers at every stage of the design and specification process. Each of its products has a unique Environmental Passport that assesses its life cycle impact from production to end of life, while an Environmental Building Sheet supports specifiers with BREEAM and LEED certification.
