Compact laminate is the latest innovation in the worktop industry, offering a solid coloured core and an extensive range of creative surface designs. Whether you prefer a textured natural look, a smooth veined finish, or a combination of both, compact laminate delivers stunning aesthetics that are sure to impress.
Renowned for its exceptional durability and high resistance to moisture, it is an excellent value-for-money choice for kitchen worktops. However, due to its extremely tough composition, installation costs may be slightly higher than average, as the material is highly resistant to cutting and can wear down standard blades in a single job.

How are they made?
Compact Laminate worktops are manufactured through the process of fusing together multiple layers of Kraft papers sandwiched between decorative papers saturated in resin, heat and pressure is then applied creating one solid sheet.

Verdict?
We highly recommend compact laminate worktops, although not as hard as quartz & granite they are cheaper per square meter and have deferent textures that cant be replicated by stone worktops. If you have a busy family kitchen these worktops hold up very well against your everyday rough and tumble. Stain and scratch resistant is always a big positive, you can also achieve undermounted sinks with drainer grooves that match higher end surfaces at a fraction of the cost.
