What is compact laminate?<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Compact laminate is made of paper. Yes, you read that right… paper! How is it possible for this to become one of the strongest and dimensionally stable worktops? The answer is that compact laminate is made by compacting approximately 50 layers of resin-impregnated and colour-ingrained paper under high pressure, at a high temperature. Both sides of the laminate are then covered with decorative paper, which is impregnated with melamine to give the worktop a clear surface.\u00a0 The finished result is strong, stable, exclusive and thoroughly modern.<\/p>\n

Thicknesses<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Compact laminate is always 12 mm thick. However, its special structure, with approximately 50 layers of compacted paper, gives the worktop superior strength, equal to much thicker worktops in other materials.<\/p>\n

    Daily use<\/h4>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Compact laminate is basically maintenance-free and particularly easy to keep clean. It is mostly sufficient to use a dishcloth wrung out in warm water. Due to compact laminate\u2019s superior strength, it is also able to stand up to the minor bumps and knocks of a busy kitchen.<\/p>\n

    However, laminates with a smooth surface, in particular, can be susceptible to scratches.\u00a0Therefore, you should be careful when handling chopping boards, cutlery, dishes, etc. on the worktop.<\/p>\n

    Compact laminate can cope with temperatures of up to 110\u00b0C for a brief time.\u00a0Nevertheless, we recommend that you always use trivets or table mats.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    Design details<\/h4>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The fact that compact laminate is only 12 mm thick creates a lightness of design, which can be further enhanced by mounting the worktop to \u2018float\u2019 above the cabinets.\u00a0To create this special floating effect, 20 or 30 mm beading is laid under the worktop to lift it from the kitchen elements and cabinets. Edging is available in laminate, aluminium-laminate or wood, depending on the look you want to create for the finished kitchen.<\/p>\n

    Compact laminate is supplied with bevelled edges.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”black” border_width=”2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1534410467435{margin-top: 40px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    Colours and textures<\/h4>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Compact laminate worktops are available in 10 different shades, both block colour and quality print to give the surface the exclusive appearance of natural stone such as marble or granite.<\/p>\n

    If you want a white worktop, you can choose either a black or a white core (the colour-ingrained paper between the outer pieces of decorative paper), resulting in two very different looks at the edges.\u00a0Or you can select a white worktop with a grainy texture and white core.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”SEE OUR WHOLE RANGE OF COMPACT LAMINATE WORKTOPS” color=”success” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dfi-geisler.com%2Fkompaktlaminat-sortiment%2F|target:_blank”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image image=”8833″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1534410460189{margin-top: 40px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
