Extremus was chosen by the architect and client as a robust and cost-effective solution, designed to stand the test of time in high usage, high traffic public areas where there is potential for vandalism. Extremus is a system designed to stand up to boisterous use. Constructed from tough Solid Grade Laminate which is water, chemical and vandal resistant and can be provided in a variety of colour coded finishes, our Extremus range is a modern, hard-wearing and easily maintainable system with the additional benefits of high strength, anti-vandal and anti-corrosion Satin Anodised Aluminium fittings & fixings.
The use of Solid Surface vanity unit tops, which provide a seamless, joint free worktop solution, ensures that any sitting water has no impact of the installation even if left for prolonged periods during high usage
