keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up Frequently Asked Questions

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up Can you fit my worktop?

While we don’t offer fitting services, we highly recommend using a registered tradesperson for your worktop installation. A professional will ensure that your worktop is fitted accurately and securely, giving you peace of mind and a perfect finish. Look for tradespeople in your area with good reviews and credentials for a smooth installation process.

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up What makes compact laminate different from standard laminate?

Unlike traditional laminate which has a chipboard core, compact laminate - or solid laminate - is constructed from bonded layers sealed with a high-resistance overlay. This creates a much thinner 12mm profile that is 100% waterproof and significantly more durable, making it a premium alternative to standard laminate worktops.

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up What are compact laminate worktops made from?

Our compact laminate worktops are crafted by layering multiple sheets of kraft paper with decorative sheets on the top and bottom. These layers are bonded together and sealed with a high-resistance overlay, making them strong and durable enough for the busiest kitchens. Unlike other worktops, they don’t need additional edging strips - the core is visible around the edges and any modifications.

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up Can I order a compact laminate worktop sample?

Yes, you can! We provide samples for all our worktops so you can see and touch the quality before making your final choice. Simply order your samples here and get started on your kitchen upgrade.

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up Can you customise my compact laminate worktop?

Definitely! Our customisation service includes everything from cutting to size, making sink or appliance cutouts, finishing edges, joining, and more. For all the details and to start your project, check out our customisation services.

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up What’s the maximum unsupported overhang on a compact laminate worktop?

For compact laminate worktops, the maximum unsupported overhang is 250mm. This allows for a stylish overhang suitable for a breakfast bar or kitchen island, giving you extra space and a sleek look.

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up Can I use an undermounted sink with compact laminate?

Yes because compact laminate worktops have a sealed core and are therefore waterproof, making them a suitable choice for undermounted sinks. You can also have drainage grooves professionally machined into the surface using our worktop customisation service, a feature usually found on stone or quartz worktops.

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up How do I maintain my compact laminate worktops?

These surfaces are non-porous and highly resistant to stains and bacteria, requiring only a simple wipe-down with warm soapy water. Unlike solid wood, they never require oiling, but using a worktop protector for extremely hot pans will ensure your surfaces stay in perfect condition for years to come.
