Worktops and Upstands - Yet to be confirmed
As part of this kitchen design, we've specified compact laminate as the worktop material. It's been selected due to the need to keep within a challenging overall budget, while still delivering a practical and visually appealing solution.
The desired worktop option is Porecelain, but this is a budget stretch.
Compact laminate is a durable, high-density material made from multiple layers of paper impregnated with resin, compressed under high pressure. It offers a sleek, modern appearance with a thin profile and often comes in matt, stone-effect, or woodgrain finishes.
Benefits:
Water-resistant and durable, making it suitable for kitchen environments.
Non-porous surface that’s easy to clean and hygienic.
Resistant to impact, scratches, and general wear - but good care is essential for long-term appearance.
Allows for undermount sinks and drainage grooves, unlike standard laminate.
Limitations:
While durable, it doesn’t match the premium feel or long-term resilience of materials like wood, granite, and porcelain/ceramic.
Visible edge seams and limited repairability in case of damage.
Heat resistance is good, but trivets are essential to protect the surface from very hot items.
Compact laminate is included in this design as a considered compromise—balancing functionality and style within the constraints of the project budget. Should the budget allow in future, this can be revisited and upgraded to a longer-life surface.

Why Formica Aria?
Aria is a UK-made compact laminate worktop offering good durability, modern design, and a lower carbon footprint than imported alternatives. Made without MDF or particleboard, it’s a good choice for indoor air quality, and its long lifespan supports sustainable design goals. It meets European E1 and CARB Phase 2 standards for formaldehyde emissions, it’s manufactured in an ISO 14001-certified site focused on environmental impact reduction.
Aria is also made in 3.6M lengths which means two lengths rather than three will be required. This reduces the amount of excess material.
