Compact laminate is great to work with for a wide variety of reasons. It’s cost effective, easy to install and low maintenance, requiring minimal effort to keep it clean, and processing wise, no edging is necessary. Great for inside use, it’s hypoallergenic, fade-proof, and doesn’t ruin easily, even when scratched, stained and moistened by household solvents or acids. Perfect for outdoor use too, its water, heat, frost & UV resistant, unlike regular laminate which is prone to losing structural integrity due to its MDF backing. Design wise, it’s versatile (coming in a range of colours) and can be shaped to suit almost any space or use.
