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.
