Wondering why your weekends get over so fast? It’s probably because you’re busy cleaning your furniture! Priya and Suresh, a young couple from Chennai, wanted a home where they could relax after a long day without worrying about maintenance. So how did we do it? With laminate!

Knowing this, Pragnya opted for soft-close shutters in her kitchen. This is especially helpful when you have elders using your kitchen. Roller shutters and soft close cabinets do not get jammed, thus being very easy to maintain.
