If you want a kitchen free of fingerprints and scratches… you want Nanotechnology!

By utilising the array of modern technology and materials at our fingertips, the surface in your kitchen or bathroom could be comprised of some of the strongest and aesthetic products in the world. Nanotechnology is used in numerous fields whether it is scientific or based with manufacturing. Although it may be difficult to comprehend something like this in your home, it is designed for ease and durability even if the name might suggest otherwise. The concept involves the manipulation or construction of tiny particles to create a desired product or outcome.

To understand the composition and characteristics of a material such as this, we must first comprehend nanotechnology. Essentially, the particles in the material are so small that the surface becomes incredibly strong and highly scratch resistant. Now in context, this means that the strength and durability of the material is ideal and suited toward a kitchen or a bathroom. The advancement of this technology has resulted in a product that is ultimately easier to clean, stronger and less susceptible to heat.

One of the companies, which lead the industry in this type of material, is Fenix (pictured above). The Fenix material, which is characterised as a smart material, has a beautiful matt finish, which has a performance that cannot be mimicked by paint. The composition does not absorb oils and grime from everyday use by human hands, therefore making it easy to clean and ideal for a busy home with young children due to the lack of maintenance required.

Barely anything in the world is scratch PROOF, but nanotech materials come pretty close. Because of the tiny surface particles, any micro scratches that do occur can be fixed with a thermo healing process. This would incorporate applying heat from an iron to the surface for a short period of time so the particles can become slightly mobile to fill the channels of the scratch.

The word Nanotechnology is daunting itself and is easily associated with things like robotics and medicine. However, in your home it is practical, smart, attractive and versatile!
