As ‘colorterior,’ the trend of adding a variety of colors to home appliances and furniture, has recently gained attention, ‘paint color sheet’ products that reflect the color trend on doors as well are winning popularity among consumers.
Yerim Timber’s ‘Paint Color Sheet,’ which brings out the advantages of a painted interior, is characterized by natural detail that captures the distinctive texture of real paint, and it is drawing attention with its wide range of colors. In particular, the ‘Paint Color Sheet’ offers a realism as if the surface had actually been painted, and its appeal is doubled when it is installed as a hidden door. A hidden door has only the door itself, without molding or a door frame, so that it blends into the space; combined with a painted interior, it creates a broader and more open feel to the space.
Yerim Timber’s ‘Paint Color Sheet’ realizes colors suited to a variety of spaces by selecting three white-family tones that are mainly used in wallpaper, and rather than a design and color that make the door stand out, it delivers a look that naturally connects with the walls and ceiling, creating an even more expanded sense of space. In addition to the three white-family tones, calm and powdery sub-colors were also introduced for alpha rooms such as children’s rooms and studies. The sub-colors consist of four options that lend subtle vitality to a space: ▲pastel pink, ▲soft yellow, ▲fresh green, and ▲calm beige. These subtle tones, whose color scheme is understated rather than flashy, blend well into any space, so simply changing the door alone can refresh the mood of the space. The ‘Paint Color Sheet’ has also been released as an interior film, allowing it to be easily applied anywhere in an indoor space—walls, molding, doors, sinks and more—without specialized skills, so it is also winning attention as a DIY interior product.
Along with this, as the importance of and interest in personal hygiene has grown due to the impact of COVID-19, Yerim Timber’s antibacterial handle ‘YDL-850’ is receiving a favorable response from consumers.
The antibacterial handle ‘YDL-850’ is made of a copper alloy that kills 99.99% of superbacteria and COVID-19, helping to prevent cross-infection of viruses. Copper has long been known to have antibacterial properties, and its effectiveness has been proven in comparisons with plastic and stainless steel materials. According to a study conducted in the UK, the coronavirus survived for at least five days on ceramic tile, glass, and stainless steel surfaces, but on antibacterial copper surfaces including copper alloys it was killed within 30 minutes. In addition, the antibacterial handle material is the only antibacterial touch surface material registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and it has the effect of killing all harmful bacteria and superbacteria within 10 minutes. It can prevent bacterial growth and cross-infection by more than 60% not only at home but also in places with heavy foot traffic, and overseas, copper alloys are already in widespread use to prevent cross-infection. Recently, door handles developed from copper alloy have gained recognition by word of mouth in Korea as well, and the trend is for them to be adopted and applied as a quarantine countermeasure in government offices, hotels, hospitals, apartments and more. Conventional antibacterial films were relatively easy to purchase and use, but it was difficult to expect a lasting effect, so periodic replacement was required. In contrast, the antibacterial handle is a semi-permanent product that requires no disinfection or cleaning, and it holds especially valuable worth because it continues to show antibacterial efficacy even when oxidized or contaminated.
Yerim Timber’s antibacterial handle ‘YDL-850’ is a tubular type, so it is compatible if the existing installed handle is also a tubular type, and anyone can replace it easily. Moreover, with its elegant, subtle champagne gold color and a design that is both modern and classic, it is more than worthy as an interior item.
A company official said, “As we enter the post-COVID era, people have come to prefer products with enhanced sterilizing and antibacterial functions, and the antibacterial handle is receiving a good response from consumers. Above all, since anyone can easily replace it, applying it not only to residential spaces but also to places where many people gather, such as offices, hospitals and schools, will help create even safer spaces.” 1899-5675
