Why choose Du Pont Montelli for your solid surfaces?

Non-porous

Montelli is naturally stain-resistant, thanks to its non-porous surface that prevents liquids from penetrating. Spills can be wiped away easily without the risk of staining, promoting a clean and hygienic environment. Montelli also prevents bacteria growth, making it an ideal choice for kitchens and bathrooms.

Seamless appearance

Montelli allows for a smooth, joint-free finish. Its seamless design minimises gaps or seams, offering a clean and modern look great for contemporary finishes. Its inconspicuous joints also make it easier to clean and maintain.

Durable

Created to withstand daily use, Montelli is resistant to scratches, impact and heat. It’s suitable for high-traffic areas in residential and commercial settings, like kitchen and bathroom countertops or retail spaces. Its resilience means Montelli retains its looks and functionality over time.

Low maintenance

Montelli has simple care requirements and is easy to clean and maintain. Routine cleaning is straightforward, typically with soap and water. Unlike porous surface materials like natural stone, Montelli doesn’t need sealing, saving time and effort in upkeep.

Versatile

Available in a variety of colours and patterns, Montelli works with design styles from modern to traditional. It’s adaptable and suitable for a range of applications including countertops, interior wall cladding and custom furniture.

Repairable

Minor scratches, scuffs or small marks can often be addressed on-site with sanding or buffing, restoring Montelli to its original condition without the need for replacement. This extends its lifespan and minimises the cost of repairs.
