8/6/2019 Compac Nature 7 Colours

1/1

COMPAC has recently

extended its Nature

range of quartz sur-

faces from two colours

to seven.

The new designswere well received both

at KBB London and at

the special launch event

at the Lakeside Conti-

nental Hotel, which

PW&SS attended.

All are available now

rom stock in both 20

mm and 30 mm depth.

Nature uses a veg-

etable based resin de-

veloped by Compac,

BIO, to bind together

grains o quartz andother minerals, plus

colouring agents, into a

fexible and adaptable

surace that can be used

both or fooring and

worktops.

As well as being sustainably

sourced, the inclusion o BIO adds

denite benets during the abri-

cating and installing processes.

These key eatures arise rom

the act that in Nature, there are no

pore spaces From the end users

perspective, this means no oppor-tunity or water penetration, and

no hiding place or germs and

bacteria, a concern in any kitchen.

For the abricator, the absence

o pore spaces leads directly to in-

creased internal strength and to

less internal shrinkage, minimising

the likelihood o cracks appearing

during cutting and leading to

more fexibility in the polishing o

the edges. It is also resistant to

bending, making it easier to store

and transport to the customer.

With all its ranges, Compac has

the condence to oer the end

user a lietime guarantee: this con-

dence is urther enhanced withthe Nature range.

It is highly resistant to the levels

o UV radiation common in Com-

pacs home country, Spain, and

thereore will not age rom sun-

light when installed in the UK!

Nature is also unaltered by the

action o acid rom ood and com-

mon cleaning products.

The design oNature is very or-

ganic, and operates in three di-

mensions. The blending o two or

more colours results in patterns

which are consistent throughout

the manuacturing run, but with

details that are always unique: no

two areas o any particular work-top will be completely identical.

The pattern also fows through the

depth o the product (as exposed

at the edges). These eatures are a

bonus or those targeting the be-

spoke market, and refect the in-

spiration behind the range: Nature

itsel.

At KBB and at the launch event,

Compac added Perlino (top pic-

ture) and Imperial (bottom pic-

ture), along with marble-like

Carrara, mid-brown Noce and

white-on-black Portoro to the ex-

isting colours, Botticino in cream

and dark Pierre Bleue.

The designs were very well re-ceived. UK general manager, Toni

Lle, commented: We have been

delighted by the very positive re-

ception our Nature Collection has

received both at KBB and at the

Lakeside venue.

From architects and interior

designers to kitchen showroom

managers and abricators, every-

one has been impressed

with the new colours,

their perormance char-

acteristics and the act

that the worksuraces

are so environmentally

riendly.

Marketing executive,

Emma Shaw, added that

Compac is oering a ree

coee machine be-

tween now and the end

o December to any

end user who purchases

at least 5 linear metres,

and any showroom

which sets up a perma-

nent display.
