What is a Hanex worktop?

Hanex® is the registered international brand name for a premium range of acrylic solid surface material.

66% natural stone, known as Alumina Trihydrate, is pulverised and blended with 34% acrylic polymer resins in a special high-tech process, using extremely high heat and pressure within a vacuum, to create a solid slab which has the same luxurious appearance of granite, marble or other polished stone.

The special process gives the solid slab even greater strength, flexibility, elasticity, resilience and durability than the natural stone and eliminates all the weaknesses that exist in quarried marble and granite.

Is Hanex better than natural stone?

Hanex is an improvement on the natural stone from which it is manufactured. All the fissures, cracks and pores found in natural stone are eliminated, to make Hanex a truly solid, impermeable surface with a much higher level of hygiene and resistance to damage and stains. Hanex is easier to clean and maintain and damage can be repaired. Minor damage can be repaired by the home-owner without specialist equipment and more severe damage can be refurbished by specialists.

Hanex worktops are created in larger sizes than are possible in solid stone slabs which are dependent on what is quarried from nature. This makes it possible to fit larger surfaces with fewer joints.

Far greater variety is also possible in terms of rich colours, texture, size and visual appeal. Hanex worktops have far greater consistency of colour within each individual slab, as well as across adjacent slabs.

Hanex worktops can be shaped or formed and joints can be “welded” to form the seamless appearance, which is not possible with natural stone. Because of the acrylic added to the natural stone, Hanex can be bent, moulded, shaped, and thermoformed into three-dimensional shapes for virtually

Is Hanex only suitable for worktops?

Hanex is exceptionally versatile, durable and resilient, and can be used anywhere you imagine.

Hanex worktops of countertops in kitchens, bathrooms, hotels, serving and reception areas have built a solid reputation for high quality and durability since 1995, but it is a highly adaptable multipurpose material that can be used effectively as luxurious wall cladding or decorative material in virtually any room in a house or business. It is also a popular choice for sterile areas such as hospitals, surgeries and laboratories, airports and serving counters because the watertight surface and seamless joints leave no place for bacteria to accumulate and they are easy to clean and maintain.
