Full details
The Zenith Magma Worktop in Black is designed for homeowners and renovators seeking a modern, durable, and stylish kitchen surface. Its key benefit is the combination of a striking volcanic stone aesthetic with robust, low-maintenance performance.

This compact laminate worktop offers a contemporary edge with impressive strength, a smooth, light-reflecting finish, and resistance to stains and moisture, making it ideal for busy kitchens.

FAQs
Is the Zenith Magma Worktop suitable for outdoor kitchens?
No, this worktop is designed for indoor kitchen use. Prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions can affect its integrity and appearance.
Can I cut directly on the Zenith Magma Worktop?
While durable, it is strongly recommended to always use a cutting board to prevent scratches and maintain the worktop's pristine surface.
How do I clean a stubborn stain?
For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive household cleaner. Apply it with a soft cloth, let it sit for a few minutes if necessary, then wipe clean and rinse the area with water.
What is the recommended thickness for supporting cabinets?
The worktop is 12.5mm thick. Ensure your base cabinets provide adequate and level support for this slim profile, following standard installation practices for compact laminate.
Can I install a sink directly into this worktop?
Yes, sinks can be installed. However, it is crucial that the cutouts are professionally made and all cut edges are properly sealed to maintain water resistance and prevent moisture ingress.
What is the warranty period for this worktop?
Please refer to the retailer or Zenith's official documentation for specific warranty details, as they can vary.
Does the black 'Magma' finish show fingerprints easily?
The smooth, dark finish can potentially show fingerprints or smudges more readily than lighter surfaces. Regular wiping with a damp cloth is recommended to keep it looking its best.
Troubleshooting
Surface appears dull or loses shine
Clean thoroughly with a recommended non-abrasive cleaner for laminate surfaces. Avoid wax-based polishes.
Minor scratches visible
For very light surface scratches, a specialized laminate repair kit or compound might be used, following product instructions carefully. Avoid deep scratches by using cutting boards and trivets.
