THE DESIGNERS CHOICE
Crystallite
All products featured on this website and in our catalogue are made from a material called Crystallite ® which is manufactured from a specialised compound of natural minerals, pure polymers and aggregates.
This results in an ice-white solid surface product with a warm, velvety touch that is similar to natural stone.
The characteristics of Crystallite® are as follows:
- It is a solid surface resin based material meaning that the consistency is the same throughout the body of the product. There are no surface coatings thus eliminating delamination, surface cracking or crazing.
- It is highly chip resistant. In the event of an accident ie. dropping a heavy object onto a product which could chip the surface – the repair of such damage is simple and can be done on your premises.
- It is generally scratch resistant due to the use of unique crystal particles in the manufacturing process. Enough force will however scratch any surface but this can easily be removed without damaging the product due to the solid surface nature of the material.
- It is non-porous and does not absorb water preventing micro-organism and bacterial growth – creating an extremely hygienic product.
- It is stain resistant.
- It might fade slightly over time if exposed to direct sunlight but can be brought back to its original colour with a quick sand down.
- It is completely recyclable. Old products can easily be restored to original condition and re-used.
- It is effectively a self renewing surface which matures and becomes stronger over time.
- The material is tough and can withstand rough handling. It can be used in areas susceptible to vandalism and high traffic ie. hotels and malls.
Cleaning instructions:
WARNING:
The use of metal scouring pads or harsh chemicals such as acetone, ammoniac cleaners (e.g. Handy Andy), paint stripper or thinners will damage the surface of your bath or basin, and result in a change of colour.
