7 Benefits Of FENIX NTM Kitchen Counters

Every kitchen countertop has a few unique features and distinct advantages. However, none even come close to the benefits you will get from FENIX NTM.

1. Modern Style: ideal for contemporary and industrial style kitchens. At the same time, this countertop is versatile enough to be paired with more classic and natural materials such as wood, fit for more transitional style kitchens (as you can see in the image above).
2. Unique Look: the material has an extremely matte surface, low light reflectivity and color depth. You will not be able to see any fingerprints on these countertops! You can also use it for custom integrated designs that combine cabinetry and countertops.
3. Pleasant Feel: special technology makes the surface feel soft to the touch.
4. Easy To Clean: FENIX NTM is resistant to solvents and even harsh antibacterial cleaning solutions.
5. Highly Resistant to Scratches and Abrasion: scratches are actually self-healing through special thermal technology. If you scratch the countertop with a sharp object (fork or knife), you can pull out an iron, wait for it to heat up and press into the scratch. You will be amazed as you watch it disappear from the surface! Also, if the structure of the countertop is not damaged, the thermal healing repair of scratched can be performed infinitely.
6. Superior Hygenic Properties: if you want to be able to use your kitchen counters as a food prep surface, FENIX NTM is ideal. It has enhanced anti-bacterial properties and is also mold-resistant.
7. Highly Durable: the material boasts dimensional stability, even at high temperature changes. It is also resistant to impact and dry heat. With proper treatment, material can last well over 50 years.







What Is FENIX NTM Countertop Made From?

This can be considered a laminate countertop, but very much next generation. Fenix is not an HPL, a finish or a film. The body of the material is comprised of paper and next generation acrylic resins. There is also a special coating which is responsible for material’s scratch resistance and self healing properties. It is made up of tiny, nano-sized particles (smaller than 100 nm), which are not visible to the naked eye.

Utilizing special high tech processes, these nanoparticles are evenly distributed throughout the coating. After the coating is cured, these particles are fully integrated into the outer layer of the material.

What Countertop Colors Are Available?

FENIX NTM was designed to be a timeless classic, appealing to both modern and traditional aesthetics. It offers a versatile selection of beautiful, nature inspired color options. In total, there are 15 colors available: 11 plain and 4 pearlescent.





How Much Do FENIX NTM Countertops Cost?

 
Incredibly, this kitchen countertop material is very reasonably priced. FENIX NTM itself is quoted at $5 per sq.ft. This cost is on par with other laminate counters, and is significantly cheaper than granite, marble, butcher block, concrete stainless steel, and most other materials.

You should budget another $4-7 per square foot for installation, depending on the contractor you hire, and the complexity of fabrication. So you are looking at a total of about $9-12 per square foot installed.

If you are looking to create a truly custom kitchen design, it is possible to use FENIX NTM material for countertops, cabinetry and even the kitchen sink. This will enable you to create a stunning, seamless aesthetic that can not be achieved using other types of materials (see the gallery below for inspiration).

It is best to work with a local contractor who has experience installing laminate countertops, as FENIX NTM is closest to this material.

Currently, in the US, a large distributor of international building materials, Willis, offers FENIX countertops, so your contractor can place an order through them.
