Advantages:
- resistant to stains such as coffee, red wine or ink stain,
- resistant to daylight and UV radiation (no colour fading),
- resistance to scratching, dent and abrasion – laminates (CPL AND HPL) used for worktops production are made in accordance with the standard PN-EN 438 – usual household-activities, except cutting, grinding and striking with any sharp / bunt tools, are allowed,
- resistant to steam – the steam does not penetrate inside the worktop and does not cause delamination of the board- it relates to worktop surface. When white goods / home appliances are installed with worktop on the top of them, its bottom side has to be additionally and effectively protected from steam influence,
- resistance to higher temperature allows to place directly on a worktop a dish of hot water, except any dish with an iron or metal undersurface. In such cases the insulating pads should be used,
- resistant to chemical compounds,
- hygiene class: E1,
- worktops have antibacterial properties.
Important Notes!
Each mechanical interference (milling, cutting) in the structure of the table top requires absolute protection of open surfaces against moisture. We recommend using commercially available agents, e.g. polyurethane-solvent adhesives. Additionally, for sealing the edges, for example, silicone should be used. In the case of installation of household appliances under the countertop, its underside must be additionally and effectively protected against water vapor.
The back edge of BK (in one-sided curved tops) does not protect the top against water. We recommend using, for example, worktop trim.
For the maintenance of kitchen worktops, it is recommended to use a soft, dry or damp cloth. Coarse dirt can be removed with a washing-up liquid solution. Then wipe with a damp, soft cloth and wipe dry. No aggressive cleaning agents or polishes can be used. More information in the "Instructions for assembly and use of kitchen worktops".
