Quality Brilliant design and materials guaranteed Spectra worksurfaces are manufactured to the rigorous standards of BS/EN4965 using the highest quality materials. This ensures the best heat, moisture and impact resistance. Above all, Spectra worksurfaces are hygienic and ideal for food preparation. The BS/EN438 laminate surface is bonded to EN312/2003 E1 high density particle board to form a 6mm radius profile on all leading long edges. This not only looks great but also protects the worksurface from exposure to moisture with a polyurethane drip barrier. The front and rear edges are also tightly sealed to give extra protection from water and steam. Each Spectra worksurface is supplied with a heavy duty polythene wrapping. The high gloss designs also have protective foils applied to the laminate surface which are removed during the installation process. At no extra cost, each Spectra worksurface is supplied with a loose laminate edge for your installer to apply to the edges of your worksurface. Andromeda Black (Quartz) The Spectra range of kitchen worksurfaces has achieved the ultimate mark of product quality the FIRA Gold Award. Assessed by the Furniture Industry Research Association, the Gold Award gives customers the reassurance that Spectra worksurfaces have been manufactured to the highest possible standards.

Care and maintenance Andromeda White (Quartz) Laminate worksurfaces are easy to care for Laminate worksurfaces do not demand time consuming, regular maintenance. Your Spectra worksurface will continue to look good for years to come, provided you follow a few basic guidelines: Worksurfaces should always be protected from hot pans by the use of hob bars or trivets. Never chop food directly onto a worksurface, always use a chopping board. All spills should be mopped up immediately. To keep your worksurface looking its best, wipe it regularly with a damp cloth and buff with a lint-free cloth to remove water marks. To remove everyday stains wipe with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive, surface cleaner. To remove more stubborn marks allow the detergent to soak on the surface for several minutes before rinsing thoroughly with clean water. Spectra s strong inner core means your worksurface will withstand most knocks and bumps, but avoid placing extremely heavy items or standing on your worksurface. For further maintenance advice, please refer to the maintenance guide supplied with each worksurface. DISTINCTIVE WORKSURFACES

Spectra and the environment All timber products used in the production of Spectra worksurfaces come from well-managed and sustainable forests, certified in accordance with the rules of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC ) and The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). Spectra worksurfaces are both environmentally responsible and have excellent product recycling characteristics. The use of Spectra s amazingly realistic wood grain effects and textures means that it is completely unnecessary to cut down exotic species of timber within our precious forests.
