Advanced PU Coatings on Laminates
What is PU Paint?
PU paint, or polyurethane paint, is a durable and versatile coating valued for both protection and aesthetics. Made from synthetic polymers, it creates a tough, glossy, and smooth finish with excellent resistance to scratches, stains, and environmental damage. It can be applied to wood, HMR, MDF, glass, WPC, metal, and laminate surfaces. We use company-certified, high-quality equipment and deliver professional onsite services with precision and care.

Got Questions?
1. What is PU paint and why is it considered the best choice for premium interiors?
PU (Polyurethane) paint is a two-component system that delivers a smooth, elegant, and long-lasting finish. Known for its superior resistance to scratches, stains, moisture, and UV light, it is ideal for use on wardrobes, kitchens, panels, and doors in both homes and commercial spaces.
2. How is PU paint better than Duco or melamine paint?
PU offers a higher level of durability, gloss retention, and surface protection than Duco or melamine. It resists yellowing, fading, and cracking over time, while Duco tends to lose sheen and is prone to chipping. PU also has better flexibility, making it ideal for surfaces that expand and contract.
3. What are the different finishes available in PU paint?
At Dreamscape, we offer:
- Matte finish – Subtle elegance with anti-glare properties
- Gloss finish – Sleek, reflective, luxurious appeal
- Metallic finish – Bold, shimmer-based texture for accents
- Pearl finish – Soft shine that shifts with lighting
- Dual-tone finish – Customized blends for designer spaces
4. What is a PU clear coat and why is it essential?
A clear coat is a transparent protective layer applied over PU base paint to enhance gloss, depth, and longevity. It acts as a barrier against daily wear and environmental exposure while improving the final look and feel.
5. What does “scratch-friendly” PU coating mean?
Scratch-friendly coatings are PU systems formulated with additional toughness to resist micro-abrasions from daily use. These are ideal for surfaces like wardrobe shutters, drawers, and kitchen cabinetry.
6. Can PU paint be customized with metallic or special effects?
Absolutely. We use high-quality metallic pigments and blending agents to create customized shimmer, texture, or reflective effects as per your interior design vision.
7. Is PU paint suitable for kitchens and wet areas?
Yes. PU paint is highly resistant to moisture and stains, making it an excellent option for kitchen shutters and bathrooms—especially when combined with a protective clear coat.
8. What is the typical project duration for PU painting?
A standard PU painting project takes 15 to 35 days, depending on surface size, number of coats, drying/curing time, and detailing. Dreamscape ensures strict timeline adherence while maintaining quality.
9. What kind of materials and equipment are used in PU painting?
We use branded PU products (like ICA, Sirca, Axalta) and apply them using professional-grade spray systems and nozzles matched to company specifications. This ensures consistency, gloss uniformity, and a flawless finish.
10. How do you maintain PU-painted surfaces?
Use a soft microfiber cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives. Re-polishing can be done after several years if needed, but PU surfaces generally stay fresh for 7–10+ years with minimal maintenance.
11. Can PU paint be applied on laminate surfaces?
Yes, PU paint can be successfully applied on laminate surfaces when the proper surface preparation is done. At Dreamscape, we use a specialized plastic primer designed to promote adhesion between the smooth laminate and the PU coating. This ensures the PU bonds securely and delivers a flawless, long-lasting finish—perfect for upgrading existing wardrobes, kitchen shutters, or laminated furniture without dismantling them.
