Probably the most economical tableware on the market
Probably the most economical tableware on the market – Gompels Super Tuff Melamine Robust Melamine has been valued as a robust tableware option for many years, so why is it such a popular choice in today’s busy care environments? It certainly fits the bill when it comes to functionality, with a super smooth feel that mimics the more expensive porcelain option, as well as its ease of care, but the real benefit comes when you compare the annual replacement rate of melamine to porcelain. Cost effective You can expect to replace less than 20% of your melamine dinnerware annually compared to 50%-150% of porcelain. Additionally, if you use disposable paper plates, consider how much money you’d save not replacing large volumes of plates etc, as well as less storage space and less waste removal. Porcelain, being prone to chipping and breakage is definitely the more expensive option in the long run. Considering that after your initial investment in a set of melamine you can easily get 2-4 years wear out of it, if properly handled and washed, making melamine a sensible choice for your budget. Easy to use The benefits to your residents are also important, and include: Lightweight, easy to grip and use, with smooth surfaces and rounded edges Avoids temperature shock as any non-food or drink areas remain cool, it also has a lower thermal capacity than glass or porcelain Bright colours make melamine more visible for those with Dementia, and our colour range makes it easy to differentiate for allergies Resistance to scratching and chipping reduces the risk of bacteria being trapped on the surface BPA free Taking care of your melamine is easy, being completely dishwasher safe, and we recommend using a bleach free dish washing product.
