What is Compact Laminate?

compact laminate

Why compact laminate is a superior product

Panels are made from thermo-setting resins that are very stable
Panels are extremely impact and abrasive resistant
Panels are highly water resistant
Panels are hygienic and do not support bacteria or mould growth
Panels are easy to clean
Graffiti is easily removed without damage to the finish
Panels don't lose integrity - even after wilful damage

The compact laminate panels are guaranteed for 10 years against mechanical failure.
A two year guarantee is provided against failure of materials, poor workmanship or incomplete installation. Conditions of this guarantee are that systems are subjected to NORMAL USE and maintenance is carried out according to manufacturers recommendations.
