12mm compact laminate is the industries newest addition. They have a solid black core with endless creative patterns on the surface. Undermounted sinks and drainer grooves are also possible thanks to its 100% waterproof material. The joints on compact laminate are also seamless much like composite worktops although the surface has a more robust textured feel. Upstands and backsplash are also available to purchase, and we can supply any style you like.
