Solid Surface Materials
Durable
As the name implies, solid surface is
solid all the way through. There is no
veneer to peel, crack, chip or wear out.
All solid surface products come with an
extended product warranty.
Renewable
Solid surface is unique among all
decorative surfacing in that it can be
restored to its original look and feel
through an onsite sanding process,
without any loss in product quality. The
age of the material has no effect on its
ability to be renewed.
Repairable
Should the material become damaged, it
can be repaired and made to look like
new, when serviced by qualified
professionals.
Thermoformable and Mouldable
Acrylic-based solid surface can be
heated and bent to virtually any shape
or contour, which makes it ideal for
vertical wall applications in
particular. Blended resin-based solid
surface can be cast into an infinite
number of shapes at the point of
manufacture.
Broad Range of Textures and Colors
The aesthetic includes solid colors
(pastel to bold), granite look-alikes,
lightly sanded textures, multi-colored
veining, translucents and metalized
versions that take on an authentic
patina with age. Its palette includes
every color of the rainbow.
Limitless Design Possibilities
There is no limit to how solid surface
can be fabricated and customized,
including inlays, borders, design trim,
etc. It can also be moulded into a wide
range of useful shapes, such as sinks,
bathtubs, shower pans, decorative
embossed wall panels and even faucets.
Moulded Sinks
Solid surface is the only material that
features moulded sinks seamed directly
to the countertop. There are no gaps or
messy caulks to contend with.
Easy to Clean
Cleans easily with soap and water. Most
household cleaners are also safe for
solid surface.
Stain and Chemical Resistant
Unaffected by most household acids and
alkalis.
Scratch Resistant
Scratches can be buffed out with a non
woven pad (Scotch-Brite
TM). Deep
scratches are easily removed by sanding,
but may require the services of a
professional.
Range of Finishes
Solid surface is available in every kind
of finish from dull matte to shiny high
gloss.
Touch
Unlike stone, which is cold and hard,
solid surface is silky smooth and warm
to the touch.
Absorbs Impact
By absorbing the force of impact, solid
surface is easy on expensive crystal and
china.
Affordable
It is the best value for a premium
countertop available.
Heat/Cold Resistant
Remains stable and undamaged within
reasonable hot/cold fluctuations.
Hygienic
Will not absorb food, odors or bacteria.
Integral bowls and built-in coved
backsplashes can be fused to the
countertop to create a water-tight and
bacteria-free transition.
Non-porous
Resists stains and wont expand and
contract with humidity. Unlike granite
or marble, solid surface never needs
sealing.
Seamless
Pieces can be joined to create seams
invisible to the naked eye.
Water Resistant
The ideal material for use around wet
areas, such as countertops, bathtubs,
and shower surrounds, laundry rooms and
floors.
Versatile
In the hands of an experienced
craftsman, solid surface can be seamed,
shaped and sanded into virtually any
shape or configuration. The following is
a partial listing of uses other than
conventional kitchen and bath
countertops:
Outdoor kitchens and wet bars
Cabinet doors
Decorative fronts for refrigerators
and dishwashers
Paper towel dispensers
Switch and wall plates
Cabinet hardware
Dining room table tops
