What is a compact laminate?
An honest letter from Murat & Mert
Our four tests for any worktop
- Practical. Easy to live with
- Size. No needless joints
- Look. Proud to show it off
- Budget. A real-world price
It's Murat and Mert here, brothers and founders of House of Worktops. Thank you for even considering us for your project. We are honoured. Truly.
Compact laminate confuses a lot of people. So here are our honest thoughts, in our own words, to help you make the best choice for your kitchen.
Then compact laminate appeared. Think of it as the child of the two most popular worktops on the planet. Budget friendly like laminate. Practical and beautiful like quartz. Similar to both, yet quite different.
Me and my brother believe:
And let's be honest with each other. If money were no object, most of us would pick the fanciest stone and be done. But we live in the real world. We need a worktop that looks great, performs well, and leaves money for the rest of the kitchen.
We'll finish this letter by sharing our favourite word for this product: reliable. No surprises. It looks good, it won't stain, it won't crack, and it's fully waterproof.
If you have questions, just ask. We're always here to help.
