In this episode of the SIXiDES Show, The Designerd sit down with Charles from KompacPlus to take a closer look at one of the most talked-about countertop materials in Singapore. If you’re planning a kitchen renovation or choosing surfaces for your BTO or resale home, this episode covers everything you need to know. 

We explore the 6mm KompacPlus panel, a slim Italian-made material known for its sleek profile, durability and modern design. Charles walks us through: 

• How a 6mm panel can stay rigid and stable 
• Impact tests (including drop tests) and real durability performance 
• Why KompacPlus is non-porous, hygienic and easy to maintain 
• Its antimicrobial surface and stain-resistant properties 
• How it compares with stone, quartz, sintered stone and natural materials 
• Colour collections (stone, woodgrain, industrial, and solid tones) 
• Anti-fingerprint finishes for darker cabinetry 
• How thin countertops work well in small Singapore homes 
• Real homeowner case studies and long-term performance 
• The difference between traditional thick countertops vs modern slim profiles 
• Why designers love KompacPlus for clean, minimalist layouts 

We also discuss how KompacPlus has grown in local adoption and why more homeowners are exploring synthetic materials for practical day-to-day use.
