A building is rarely silent inside. When it is not the lovely people, the enthralling music, or the entertainment, it is the architecture. Fascinating, right?
After all, our home’s walls, floors, and other surfaces evoke something in our hearts. While most materials echo too loudly, there always comes an irregular surface that is so tranquil, like Compac Carrara, that you may as well stay mesmerised forever.
It introduces the fabled Compac Carrara – a premium white quartz stone with a hypnotic grey veining that evokes the calmness of nature unlike any other. That is what true beauty at your home does – it makes you fall in love with it every day for a lifetime.
A Compac Carrara Worktop Is Easy to Use
It Simplifies Your Daily Routines
But to call Compac Carrara simply a handsome stone material would be a great disservice. Carrara quartz keeps stains, scratches, and impact marks at bay effortlessly, thanks to the premium engineered quartz at its core.
Once you install Compac Carrara worktops and surfaces, you’ll enjoy the tranquil ambience instead of scrubbing away tough stains. Now that’s what you call a 21st-century innovative material that takes care of itself and you!
Let it take care of your interiors with its brilliant luminosity and royal demeanour, allowing you to create timeless traditional and contemporary settings.
Description & Advantages
Home renovations in the UK are not a yearly affair. You will often only get a rare opportunity to transform your kitchen, bathroom, or living space for the rest of your life. So does it do justice to your home to refurbish it with average materials that neither evoke an emotion nor stay durable?
- Unlike all the ordinary stones out there, Carrara calls out to every architect, interior designer, and homeowner the moment they focus on it. Imagine bringing to life a serene and marvellous ambience. Imagine freeing yourself from worrying about the minute spills and stains in the kitchen.
- Compac Carrara strives to recreate the appeal of Italy’s legendary Bianco Carrara marble as a resilient engineered quartz stone. Compac Carrara offers trademark greyish veins on a spectacular white background, making it the jewel in the Compac Nature range. Its marble-like appearance allows you to easily blend it with your interiors and give birth to a decadent space. This quality that transforms dull old corners into centres of attraction is truly underrated.
- Compac Carrara boasts two highly desirable ones: Polished and Glace (matt). You can craft lustrous interiors or go for a more understated yet commanding look.
Superior Performance & Superior Sustainability
But modern homeowners don’t only buy aesthetics. Therefore, Compac Carrara brings home ultra-resilience to wear and tear and durability that will never lose its shine.
- This engineered worktop combines 94% pure quartz minerals, 5% polymer agglomerate and 1% pigment. This quartz core is one of the most resilient materials on the planet, and it embeds Compac Carrara with hallmarks of stain, scratch, and impact resistance.
- Compac Carrara quartz has an abrasion resistance rating of 26 -29mm, doubling that of marble, limestone and similar natural stones. But when it comes to surface hardness, its Moh’s scale rating of 6-7 puts it on par with most robust stones such as granite and quartzite.
