Ever sat back, watched an episode of [The Block](https://9now.nine.com.au/the-block), and wondered, "How on earth did they achieve that stunning transformation?" The secret often lies in the details, like the choice of materials. As the curtains rise on the 19th season of The Block, Plyco is ecstatic to spotlight its show-stopping range: [Surround by Laminex](https://plyco.com.au/products/laminex-surround). If you're yearning for a home makeover that's both chic and sustainable, this is your moment. ![Surround by Laminex used for a master bedroom feature wall on an episode of The Block in 2022](https://blog.plyco.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/plyco-the-block-1.png?width=1350&height=650&name=plyco-the-block-1.png) ## A Star On The Block The Block, known for its high standards and innovative designs, has consistently showcased Laminex Surround. In 2021, Ronnie and Georgia used Scallop 45 for this [stunning feature wall in the master bedroom](https://www.facebook.com/LaminexAU/posts/surround-by-laminex-as-seen-on-the-blockronnie-and-georgia-used-our-beautiful-su/4381932128496133/). And last year, Rachel and Ryan used Surround by Laminex to create a memorable aesthetic in their [Hallway, Laundry and Mudroom](https://www.theblockshop.com.au/blog/the-block-2022-hallway-mud-room-and-laundry-reveal/). In both homes the decorative wall lining provided an awe inspiring transformation, providing a freshness that gave it a real 'wow' factor". This season promises to be no different! ![Surround by Laminex used for a hallway and mud room on an episode of The Block in 2021](https://blog.plyco.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/plyco-the-block-2.png?width=1350&height=650&name=plyco-the-block-2.png) ## Versatility Meets Sustainability From lavish living room walls to modern kitchen splashbacks, [Surround by Laminex](https://blog.plyco.com.au/surround-by-laminex) seamlessly fits into any space.
