The Ideal Solution for Hygiene and Safety
Velstone HTM 63 Worktops provide an excellent solution for healthcare environments, from nurse stations and consulting rooms to dental practices and laboratory rooms. The non-porous surface with integral upstands prevents dirt accumulation and ensures a sterile environment, meeting the stringent HTM 63 specifications. The seamless joint technology ensures no gaps for bacteria or dirt to settle in. These worktops are stain-resistant, user-friendly, and require minimal maintenance. Any stubborn stains, scratch marks, or scorches can be removed using recommended products, ensuring the surfaces remain pristine and functional.
25mm Velstone Worktops - The Perfect Fit
Velstone’s 25mm thick worktops are ideally suited for healthcare settings. Traditional solid surfaces consist of thin 12mm~13mm thick sheets bonded onto MDF substrates, necessitating frequent repairs and replacements. Velstone counters these limitations with a homogenous 25mm product that does not require additional support. This single-content structure ensures better heat and moisture resistance and enhanced durability. Additionally, these worktops can be machined cost-effectively to meet HTM 63 specifications, which was previously challenging with other solid surfaces. The 25mm Velstone products are particularly beneficial in creating an uninterrupted and aesthetically pleasing finish that supports strict HTM 63 hygiene requirements in healthcare.
