Solid Surface Bar

Hanex Solid Surface sheets are typically manufactured in 12mm thickness as standard. This offers the ideal balance between strength, flexibility, and ease of fabrication—especially for seamless joins and thermoforming. Other thicknesses, such as 6mm are available for specialist applications or vertical surfaces, but 12mm is the most commonly specified for worktops, counters, and integrated installations.

No. Hanex is inherently non-porous, so it doesn’t require sealing or resealing—unlike granite or marble.

Hanex inhibits the growth of bacteria thanks to its non-porous, seamless finish. While it doesn’t contain active antimicrobial agents, it’s easy to clean and doesn’t harbour germs.

It’s durable, but not scratch-proof. Always use a chopping board to protect the surface. If scratches occur, they can often be sanded out or refinished.

No. Hanex is heat-resistant up to around 100 °C (212 °F), but direct contact with hot cookware or heat-generating appliances can cause discolouration or cracking. Always use a trivet or heat pad.

Avoid harsh chemicals such as oven cleaners, paint removers, drain cleaners, or acetone. If any of these come into contact with the surface, rinse immediately with water to prevent damage or discolouration.
