A truly comprehensive choice

Spectra’s range of designs and textures will bring depth and character to your kitchenFrom the light subtle tones of Cypress Cinnamon to

the dramatic dark striped grains of Amazonia, Spectra

worksurfaces offer a maintenance-free alternative to

solid wood without chopping down any precious forests!

Many of the Spectra designs have been chosen to offer

customers the feel and beauty of granite, slate or stone

but always offer great value for money and the high

performance qualities of durable laminate.

Spectra’s Dolce Vita is an exotic Australian quartzite

stone which can provide a truly dramatic focal point

for your kitchen.

For a stunning contemporary kitchen, opt for one of

Spectra’s three black gloss designs: Black Slate,

Andromeda Black or Black Spark. Add a matching

upstand or splashback and focused lighting for a

dazzling high tech look.

To accentuate the feeling of space, choose a design

from Spectra’s light or neutral colour palette such as

Snow Spark or Mineral Crème.

For a kitchen that is truly out of this world, why not

choose the Ruby Crystal design with its highly reflective

finish and distinctive metallic fleck?

hygienic. Providing smooth, clean lines between walls

and worksurfaces, these simple additions to a kitchen

offer a stylish alternative to tiles without the need for

unsightly grout lines.

match and coordinate with your Spectra worksurface.

Adding matching splashbacks and upstands to gloss

worksurfaces mirrors the light reflections and gives an

worksurface as they protect against water exposure at

the back edge of the worksurface.

Brilliant design and materials guaranteedSpectra 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.

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

Laminate worksurfaces are easy to care forLaminate 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 hotpans by the use of hob bars or trivets.

� Never chop food directly onto a worksurface, alwaysuse 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-freecloth to remove water marks.

� To remove everyday stains wipe with a damp cloth anda mild, non-abrasive, surface cleaner.

� To remove more stubborn marks allow the detergent tosoak on the surface for several minutes before rinsing thoroughly with clean water.

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.
