• 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.
• Beautiful. Nothing beats the custom fit and poured-in look of an exquisitely-crafted solid surface countertop. Finish options range from matte to high gloss. Texture options include veining, large and small variegated particles, translucent surfaces, eye-popping primary colors, pastels or solid colors.
• Thermoformable and moldable. 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 molded into a wide range of useful shapes, such as sinks, bathtubs, shower pans, decorative embossed wall panels and even faucets.
• Molded Sinks. Solid surface is the only material that features molded 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-BriteTM). 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.
• Durable. Solid throughout. There are no veneers to chip, crack, peel or wear out.

• Affordable. It is the best value for a premium countertop available.

• Non-porous. Resists stains and won’t 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.
