Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning Laminate Components:
Always start by trying the gentlest method of cleaning. If a stain persists, work through the following steps,
repeating each step several times if the stain seems to be disappearing.
Step 1: For routine cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge and a mild soap or detergent. Rinse the panels and
dry on completion.
Step 2: For dif
Step 3: If stubborn stains persist, use a non-scratch cleaner scrubbing lightly with a soft bristled brush for 10
to 20 seconds.
Step 4: If a stain persists, apply undiluted household bleach, let it stand for no longer then 2 minutes, and
rinse thoroughly with warm water. DO NOT expose the laminate surface to household bleach for prolonged
periods of time, as this may lead to permanent discolouration.
Step 5: If the surface has been discoloured through long expose to industrial grime, clean carefully with a
cream cleaner containing a mild abrasive.
DO: Always rinse thoroughly after cleaning (residue from cleaning solutions is the single greatest cause of
damage to laminate surfaces).
DO: Wipe up spills immediately, and rinse thoroughly.
DO NOT: use acidic or abrasive cleaners, expose the laminate to household bleach for prolonged periods of
Cleaning Ironmongery:
Powder Coated products should be cleaned at no more than three month intervals. Detergent diluted with
warm water should be used. A soft cloth, natural sponge or a soft bristle brush may be used. Abrasive
materials should be avoided. White spirit may be used to remove oil or grease deposits, but strong solvents
must be avoided. The coated items must be thoroughly rinsed following the use of detergents.
Metallic surfaces should be cleaned as detailed for powder coating. Care should be taken in order avoid
scratching the metallic surface.
Maintenance of Ironmongery
Cubicle locks and hinges should be wiped clean. A moderate amount of silicone type lubricant (such as
WD40) should be applied periodically to all moving parts, with any excess promptly removed. Excess use of
lubricants may attract dust, which will increase the wear rate of moving parts. It is imperative that the
as required.
General Comments:
In order to avoid water marks/ lime scale build up, standing water should be removed from horizontal
surfaces. Any water that has splashed onto a panel edge should be removed immediately.

Recommendations for 12.5mm Solid Grade Laminate
Machining
• The machining of Compact laminate should be done using tungsten carbide tipped blade/ cutters or metal
cutting tools.
Cutting
• In order to obtain a clean cut, we suggest the use of carbide tipped saw blades with trapezoidal and as
many teeth as possible or a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade. However, alternating teeth can be equally
suitable, but the cut will not be as clean.
• Best r
Precision Cutting
y, sawing the
panel slightly oversize and then re-cutting the edge to the precise measurement using a tungsten carbide
tipped router cutter of the required pr
Grooving
• Compact can be grooved using a saw blade or router cutter with tungsten carbide tips.
• The depth of the groove must not exceed 1/3 of the Compact thickness.
Drilling
• Carbide bits with 3 prongs give best results (helicoidal bits) and can be used in preference to high-speed
steel drills.
• Holes can be drilled through part of the thickness or through the whole. In the case of stopped holes, a
minimum thickness of 1.5mm to 2mm of the laminate must remain (i.e. maximum depth of hole = 11mm). A
minimum of 1mm of space must remain between the tenon, screw tip or insert and the bottom of the hole
(otherwise ther
• Pilot hole diameters for self tapping screws are: 3.5mm - No.6 screw; 3.5mm - No.8 screw; 4.5mm - No.10
screw; 5mm - No.12 screw.
Cut-Outs
• Square Cut-outs:- Drill the four corners with at least a 10mm diameter hole and, starting from one of the
holes, use a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade, cutting in straight lines, join the holes and square into the
cor re removed to avoid injury.
• Oval or Circular Cut-outs:- For example, cutting a basin hole into a vanity top. Drill a single 10mm diameter
hole and, starting from the hole, cut according to template using a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade. Finish

Resizing and re-edging pr
• We would recommend that you cut the panel as previously described and trim to size using a ‘TREND’ Sunk
th a 300 grit sand paper.
• Polish as described below.
Finishing edges
• In order to eliminate machine-cutting imperfections created at the edges of the Compact, sand with a 300
• To obtain darker edges, rub the edge with a cloth soaked in linseed oil or wax. Leave to dry for 30 minutes
and wipe off. Sharp edges must be smoothed to avoid injury.
