FAQs
Can I place a hot pan directly on this worktop?
No. Laminate can scorch or melt under extreme heat. Always use a trivet or heat-resistant mat.
Is this worktop suitable for a DIY installation?
Yes, it is suitable for experienced DIYers, but professional installation is recommended to ensure precise cuts and watertight joints.
Does the worktop require regular sealing?
No, this is a laminate product and does not require sealing like natural stone or solid wood.
How do I remove tough stains?
Use a non-abrasive cream cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges that could scratch the matt finish.
Can the Fantasy Granite worktop be repaired if scratched?
Minor scratches may be masked, but deep gouges in laminate are difficult to repair permanently. Using cutting boards is the best preventative measure.
Troubleshooting
Surface feels greasy or sticky
Clean the surface with a mixture of warm water and a small amount of dish soap to remove residue, then dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
Liquid spills near the sink joint
Wipe away immediately and ensure that the sealant between the worktop and sink is intact; reapply silicone sealant if gaps appear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires careful measuring and the use of appropriate worktop joining bolts to ensure tight, sealed connections between segments. It is recommended that all exposed cut edges are sealed with high-quality silicone or laminate adhesive to prevent moisture penetration. For daily care, simply wipe the surface with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent or a non-abrasive household cleaner. Avoid using scouring pads or harsh chemicals that could degrade the protective top layer. Always use heat-resistant trivets or mats when placing hot pots or pans onto the surface to prevent thermal damage to the laminate.
