KITCHEN IDEAS

Compact laminates are hard-wearing plus
heat, scratch and chemical-resistant. The
core can be a contrasting white, grey or
black which, when it’s cut or when drainer
grooves are added, allows you to create a
unique feature in your kitchen

from £1,824 for an eight-unit kitchen; Apollo compact
laminate in White Peak, from £328 for a 3050mm x
645mm x 12.5mm piece, all Benchmarx Kitchens

made to order and specially fitted, lightweight Maxtop can

be bought off the shelf and is easy to install on site, reducing

cost, order and installation time

‘Thin profile

worktops are a key trend

this year. They’re ideal if you

want a fresh, contemporary look

plus they can help lift a design

by adding an eyecatching but

unshowy feature.’
