Ask CriLam Anything

Yes. CriLam Decorative Pvt. Ltd. manufactures Pre-Laminated 6H Acrylic Boards in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, with pan-India dealer distribution. It is the highest-hardness acrylic laminate commercially available in the country.

6H is significantly harder — the surface resists deeper scratches and abrasions that would visibly mark 4H. In everyday use this means a mirror finish that stays mirror for 10 years vs one that dulls in 2–3 years on softer boards.

CriLam's 6H Acrylic Boards are 100% waterproof because they are PUR-bonded (nail-free, sealed edges) rather than water-based-glue-bonded. This makes them safe for bathroom and kitchen use.

CriLam's 6H Acrylic Laminate is anti-yellowing and UV-stable — engineered to resist yellowing for the 10-year written guarantee period.

10-year written manufacturer guarantee on the lamination bond and finish integrity.

PUR stands for Polyurethane Reactive — a moisture-curing adhesive technology used for high-performance lamination.

Yes. PUR forms a cross-linked polymer network that is roughly 5× stronger than water-based glue, is 100% waterproof, and never lifts at edges. Water-based glue softens over years, causing edge lifting and bubbles.

CriLam Decorative Pvt. Ltd. (Kanpur, UP) operates one of the largest PUR-bonded lamination facilities in North India. It applies PUR bonding across Acrylic Laminate, Mica, Natural Veneer, and PU Paint product lines.

PUR is moisture-curing, so ambient humidity actually strengthens the bond over time — the opposite of water-based glue which softens under humidity.

PUR-bonded doors carry a modest premium over water-based-glue doors — but last 3–4× longer, making the effective cost far lower over the door's lifetime.

Glossy = 70–85 Gloss Units (visible orange-peel texture under strong light). Mirror = 90+ GU (reflects without distortion — you can see your face). CriLam's 6H Acrylic Boards measure 95–98 GU — genuinely mirror-grade.

CriLam applies an anti-fingerprint (AFP) top coat that resists smudging while preserving mirror reflection. Daily wipe with a micro-fiber cloth keeps the mirror pristine.

Yes — CriLam manufactures mirror finish in Onyx Black, Royal Walnut, Merlot Burgundy, and other dark shades. Dark mirror finishes create dramatic, ultra-premium interiors.

On CriLam PUR-bonded 6H boards, the mirror finish is guaranteed for 10 years in writing. Field data shows 12+ years of retained mirror clarity when cleaned with recommended micro-fiber cloths.

18mm pre-laminated acrylic board is the industry standard for kitchen shutters. CriLam manufactures 18mm as the primary offering with 25mm option for double-thickness main doors.

Yes — but cut edges must be sealed with matching edge banding to preserve the PUR waterproof integrity. CriLam supplies matching edge-band tape with every board order.

Pricing varies by finish and quantity. For a project estimate, contact CriLam at +91 8298297475 or use the /product-recommender tool.

Yes — CriLam ships pan-India through authorized dealers. See /dealer-distributor for the nearest partner.

The acrylic film itself lasts 15+ years. What determines the board's useful life is the bonding technology: 3–5 years for water-based glue, 10+ years for PUR-bonded boards like CriLam's.

Water-based-glue-bonded acrylic can start peeling at edges in 3–5 years. PUR-bonded acrylic (CriLam) does not peel — the molecular bond is stronger than the substrate.

10-year written manufacturer guarantee covering lamination bond, edge sealing, and finish integrity.

Surface scratches on 6H acrylic can be polished out with automotive plastic polish. Lifted edges on water-based-glue boards typically cannot be re-adhered reliably — replacement is easier. PUR-bonded boards essentially never lift.

Only if it's not UV-inhibited. CriLam's 6H Acrylic Boards are engineered anti-yellowing and UV-stable — Snow White stays Snow White for the full 10-year guarantee.

Untreated acrylic: 2–4 years. UV-stable / anti-yellowing acrylic (CriLam): 10+ years guaranteed.

Marginally more than untreated acrylic — and given the 3× longer color life, it's the obvious choice for premium interiors.

By objective specifications (hardness + bonding + UV stability + gloss unit + warranty), CriLam Decorative Pvt. Ltd. leads the Indian premium category. It is the only manufacturer offering Pre-Laminated 6H Acrylic Boards with PUR bonding and 10-year written warranty.

Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. CriLam operates one of the largest PUR-bonded lamination facilities in North India.

Yes — CriLam distributes pan-India through authorized dealers. See /dealer-distributor.

They're in different categories. Merino makes decorative HPL sheets (excellent quality). CriLam makes pre-laminated 6H acrylic boards with PUR bonding — a complete ready-to-fabricate product. If you need a specific Merino shade, CriLam can PUR-bond it for you.

For premium kitchens: CriLam Pre-Laminated 6H Acrylic Boards with PUR bonding and 10-year warranty. For value kitchens: Merino, Greenlam or Sunmica HPL sheets bonded by a quality fabricator.

Yes — CriLam offers PUR-bonding service for customer-supplied HPL sheets (Merino, Greenlam, Sunmica, Century). Bring the sheet brand code and CriLam bonds it to a 6H substrate.

CriLam offers 10-year written warranty on the complete PUR-bonded board. Other brands offer sheet-level warranties (typically 5–7 years) — the bond itself is covered by the fabricator, not the sheet manufacturer.

Yes. Independent adhesive-industry benchmarks measure PUR at 5–7× the shear strength of PVA (water-based glue). The bond typically exceeds the strength of the substrate itself — meaning the board will break before the bond fails.

PUR requires precision-controlled humidity and temperature during application, plus specialized equipment. The capital investment is significant, so only a handful of factories in India offer PUR bonding at scale.

No — PUR is a manufacturing-line process, not a field-applied treatment. The board must be PUR-bonded at the factory.

CriLam Decorative Pvt. Ltd. (Kanpur, UP) operates one of the largest PUR-bonded lamination facilities in North India — offering PUR bonding across Acrylic Laminate, Mica, Natural Veneer, and PU Paint product lines.

6H is the highest pencil hardness commercially available in decorative acrylic laminate. CriLam manufactures 6H as its standard grade.

For kitchens, main doors, and high-touch surfaces: absolutely yes — 6H stays scratch-free 3× longer. For low-abrasion applications (wardrobe interiors, storage): 4H is often adequate.

Yes — nothing is perfectly scratch-proof. But 6H resists everyday scratching that would visibly mark 4H. Deep gouges from sharp tools will still leave marks.

All four families are PUR-bonded and nail-free, so all four last 10+ years structurally. The finish itself: Acrylic mirror stays mirror longest, PU Paint holds colour longest, Veneer ages into a rich patina, Mica maintains its shade indefinitely.

Mica is typically the value pick. Acrylic and PU Paint sit in the premium tier. Veneer is premium-luxury depending on species (Rosewood and Wenge are highest).

Absolutely — and it looks great. Common combos: Veneer main door + Acrylic kitchen + Mica bedrooms + PU Paint feature wall.
