<\/strong>The high percentage of quartz in Compac worktops makes them incredibly hard and resilient. So, you don\u2019t have to worry about leaving marks or chips if you drop or slide something across the surface. You can cut on it, too, although, as with any worktop, we recommend using a chopping board.

<\/strong>Quartz is a non-porous material which means nothing can penetrate its surface. So, you don\u2019t need to panic, even if you spill the usual \u2018danger\u2019 culprits, like red wine or coffee, because they won\u2019t leave a permanent mark.

<\/strong>After a Compac worktop has been installed, you can relax. Because the only effort you need to maintain it is to wipe it down with soapy water after use.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>With its non-porous surface, there\u2019s nowhere for mould or bacteria to take route and grow. And the material has no nasty chemicals that could contaminate food either.

Compac has some heat resistance but is not heat proof. So, it\u2019s best to protect the surface from hot pans and baking trays, etc., with hot pan trivets or heat pads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nWhat finishes and colours do Compac worktops come in?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
