Evidence Base

Category estimate

No product evidence is attached to this generic material, so nothing on this card is numerical. The guidance below is qualitative — an AI-assisted category profile — for early design discussion, not for figures.

Next step: request a current product EPD or manufacturer carbon declaration, or swap in a branded product that holds one.

What's missing (3)

•No current product EPD is recorded.
•No quantified carbon result is recorded.
•No product-specific circularity or material-health claims are recorded.

Service Life — the B4 Replacement Input

100 years · basis not recorded

≈1 installation over a 60-year building study period.

B4 (replacement) follows the building, not the product: an assessor multiplies replacement cycles by project quantities. This record supplies the service life and does not compute B4.

Design & Specification Notes

Ultra-compact mineral worktop surface for kitchens and bathrooms with high heat resistance, low porosity, and scratch durability.

Typical Uses

•Built-in cabinetry
•Storage walls
•Custom millwork

Key Performance

Durable surface for daily wear.

Watch For

•
Chips at cut-outs and exposed edges
Specify reinforced cut-out corners and edge profiles suited to use intensity.
•
Breakage from transport/handling
Use certified handlers and lifting frames from fabrication to installation.

Specification Actions

•Provide EPD and supplier data on slab thickness options and embodied carbon per square metre.
•Verify edge detailing, cut-out reinforcement, and thermal shock suitability for cooker and sink conditions.
•Use demountable support details and separable sealants so tops can be recovered during fit-out changes.

Indicative Health & Indoor Air

medium Risk

•dust

Fabrication can produce respirable silica dust; require off-site controlled cutting and dust suppression.
