Fascinating
Volcanics at Decovil
Two
LG HI-MACS® Volcanics surfaces
are combined to form a split level worktop with unique effects. The lighter
Volcanics Frosty surface forms the main worksurface and surrounds the
sink and preparation units while the handsome, dark Taos Volcanics surface
is raised and overlaps while surrounding the hob.
Volcanics
from LG H-MACS® is the latest natural acrylic stone surface but with
translucent properties that allow jewel and marble like chips to be suspended
throughout the depth of the surface to fascinating effect.
Volcanics' properties are achieved because the LG HI-MACS® manufacturing
process involves thermo curing (as opposed to chemically-cured conventional
solid surfaces) and this achieves greater translucent depths. How? Well
thermo-curing allows particles to be more evenly distributed throughout
the material whereas chemically-cured surfaces tend only to get particle
distribution even in only the top third of the surface.
Of course this kitchen also demonstrates all LG HI-MACS®' other extraordinary
properties - an impervious and highly scratch resistant surface which
requires minimal maintenance and is repairable in the event. As a food
preparation surface it is hygienic as it is non-porous. Cleaning is via
normal kitchen cloths or towels and minute scratches (should they occur)
can be removed with a light abrasive like Scotchbrite.
The thermo-curing manufacturing process actually gives LG HI-MACS®
a harder surface, more resistance to scratching was central to enabling
the introduction of the stunning Volcanics collection with its extraordinary
visual design opportunities.

Contact Order for New Duropal 60cm Worktops
Laminates
Ltd. decision to stock Duropal 60mm
thick worktops has paid off with a prestigious contract order. Crosby
Lend Lease's Greenquarter apartments in Manchester are fitted with Poggenpohl
kitchens.
Poggenpohl's group business development manager Ray Tollerfield selected
Duropal 60mm thick worktops to give a luxury look that complements such
high quality kitchens. Four Duropal decors, Glacial Stone, Anthracite,
After Eight Maple and Brushed Aluminium were chosen to suit the kitchen
style.
Crosby's Greenquarter project comprises high rise apartments and studios
on the northern edge of Manchester's centre. Each is fitted with superior
quality components and reflects the aspirations of buyers.
Sheffield based Laminates Ltd. was the first distributor to retain stock
of Pfleiderer Industrie's new 60mm thick laminate worktops and found that
they appeal to mid/upper budget kitchen buyers. Laminates Ltd. managing
director, Jon Rusby comments, 'The extra thickness adds a top quality
aspect to the kitchen. Duropal's tight radius 'Quadra' postformed edges
give a solid chunky appearance valued by kitchen designers while the composition
of the worktop guarantees a long, trouble free life. We are delighted
that these worktops are so well received at Greenquarter and look forward
to supplying them for both domestic and contract kitchens.'
