Larte Design builds its carbon from pre-preg sheets cured in an autoclave, a process rooted in aerospace, which packs in far more fibre than ordinary resin-infused carbon and leaves a flawless surface. It is finished in gloss carbon, showing the real twill weave under a clear lacquer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Larte Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarte Design is a German carbon fibre atelier, founded in Düsseldorf in 2012 and now based in Erkrath.

It is dry carbon fibre, hand-finished in Germany by Larte Design and certified by TÜV NORD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is dry carbon better than wet carbon?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt comes down to weight, strength and how it ages. Dry carbon uses more fibre and far less resin, so the part is noticeably lighter and stronger and adds the look without the bulk. Wet carbon is hand-laid with a lot more resin, which makes it heavier and prone to 'orange peel', a rippled, dimpled surface that tends to show up over time and in strong sun. Dry carbon keeps a flatter, glassier finish that holds its looks for far longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow are dry carbon and wet carbon made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDry carbon is made from pre-impregnated carbon sheets cured in an autoclave under heat and pressure. It holds far more fibre (around 60 to 70% by volume, against 45 to 55% for resin-infused carbon) with under 1% voids, so the part is lighter, stronger and has a cleaner Class-A surface. Wet carbon is hand-laid with loose fibre and liquid resin, which is heavier and less consistent. Larte Design uses the pre-preg and autoclave method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach piece is made to order and shipped directly from Larte Design HQ in Germany, so please allow around 4 weeks for production and delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it covered by a warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
