The Benefits of Compact Laminate

July 2, 2015

Compact laminate is the go to product for the most demanding environments. Perfect for use in many applications, the material is extremely durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Differentiating compact laminate from other material is not only its distinctive black core which makes for a unique design feature, but rather the process of manufacture which consists of thermosetting resins which are repeatedly reinforced with cellulose fibres and placed under extreme pressure and heat.

The manufacturing process ensures that the panels are self supporting, stain, wear and moisture resistant. The materials extreme durability means the material is perfectly suited for use in high traffic and commercial applications such as schools, laboratories, shopping centres, hotels, universities, swimming pools, cafes, shopping centres, bars and healthcare facilities.

Making compact laminate even more popular is the flexibility with edge profiles and the wide variety of colours and wood grain pattern options.
