Kvik Touch - it speaks to your senses
Impressively matt
Kvik Touch is a recent innovation in Kvik's portfolio with thrilling new features - essentially built on to something extremely well proven and popular: the Kvik laminate concept. The core is still our extra strong multy layer chipbaord, and the bottom layers have also been kept - but the surface layers of decor and melamine have been innovated. The result is the Touch surface that is matt to the eye, and extremely smooth to the touch. And opposed to many matt surfaces, i.e. painted walls, it is not susceptible to oil and greases - and therefor basically fingerprint free.
Design
Clearly Kvik Touch opens for new design combinations - and adds a new sensory appeal to what you can do with your styling. In your project you can do the same things with Kvik Touch as with Laminate - but the colour selection is mainly monochrome, with only a few patterned designs. Yet, because Kvik Touch is proving quite popular, new designs are being added .
Edges
Because the design is layered on to the worktop, the edges profile is most often the factory made profile - but cuts can to some extend be tailormade on the spot. The number of edge profiles is limited.
Structure
Kvik Touch all have a matt surface with no structure in it.
Nuances
The colour palette is limited for now - but the matt surface seems to change the way in which nuances are matched and contrasted.
Sustainability perspective
Kvik Touch has the lowest carbon footprint* of all our worktop materials and is part of a meticulous recycle- and upcycle process. The surface is made out of recycled PET bottles

What should I know before I decide on Kvik Touch?
This is a list that include some of our best advice - and some the questions, we most frequently answer on Kvik Touch
Not really - the price level is at the lower mid range, and at Kvik only regular laminate has a lover unit price.
But of course, expensive should be related to the full cost of the project, you end up deciding for.
The costs related to cutting and fitting the lamainate to your kitchen design, as well as the finish are in low end - and essentially the same as regular laminate.
The matt surface and the smooth touch is the most common reason why customers choose Kvik Touch. Many use it to underline elegance in the styling, or for a look that sets it apart from classical laminate designs
The warranty is the same as all Kvik - worktops: a 5 year warranty. The terms of that warranty is of course clearly explained the warranty documents of your purchase.
A general piece of advice is to never exceed what is normal use in a private kitchen. If you do, you may forfeit you warranty in case of claims case.
Helpful advice may be:
Never ever perform cutting or chopping directly on the worktop. Always use a cutting board. Keep nice ones like this at hand while working
Never put items too hot hold in the palm of your hand directly on the surface - always keep a nice potrack or a coaster like this close when working
Not at all. There is no maintenance as such and daily cleaning is simply done with a damp cloth.
