Since that time steady advancements have been made in the performance of the company’s already famous Generation IV ™ ” solid timber benchtops. Step-by-step controlled in-house performance testing of the company’s own designed specialist finish ensures that each and every “Generation IV ™” solid timber counter top is produced to the highest possible standard for bars, reception counters, kitchens and bathrooms.

The performance of “Generation IV ™” benchtops is demonstrated in the photographs here.

The performance of the Generation IV ™ finish is demonstrated in the photographs below

CHEMICALLY RESISTANT

Highly acid and solvent proof. The resin is impervious to all household chemicals, beetroot juice, bleaches, caustic soda and colour concentration

HEAT RESISTANT

The finish is heat resistant to 150ºC. Most pots and pans can be placed directly on the surface with no effect, but heat-resistant areas are recommended against accidental scorching

EASILY CLEANED

Spillages can be cleaned with normal cleaners. Stubborn stains can be removed with fine steel wool and methylated spirits. The wax dressing restores the original gloss

IMPACT RESISTANT

The surface molecules of the softer timbers, such as macrocarpa, are made more dense by the application of an especially designed primer. Adding to the impact resistance, the resin surface is also flexible to ensure heavy dropped articles cause denting and do not crack the surface

REPAIRABLE

Heavy ruptures to the surface can be repaired by filling and polishing

ESPECIALLY DESIGNED FORMULA

The “Generation IV” benchtop finish is designed especially to deal with the varying cellular structures of the 36 timbers in the standard range and to provide excellent durability. The high-sheen,low-gloss polished finish is highly appealing

PERFORMANCE TESTED

In-house testing of the resin finish ensures the highest standard of on site working performance and consistency of application
