Solid Surfaces Material

What is a solid surface material?

Solid surface is a solid homogeneous synthetic material (polyester or acrylic) with natural fillers, primarily used for horizontal and vertical applications. 

It is resistant to stains. This means the color and design are consistent throughout making it ideal for surfaces that are subject to moisture and heavy wear. This non-porous surface rejects the growth of bacteria making it the logical choice in areas of food preparation, even over granite. It has the elegance of stone with a thermoformable (to shape by the use of heat and pressure) quality, giving you a creative license to explore your ideas with confidence.
