What is a Solid Surface Countertop?
Solid surface countertops are a man-made composite of acrylic and polyester polymers, mined minerals and natural pigments. The primary advantage to this material in countertop use is that it has no visible seams, and since the color and pattern run all the way through the material, it is easily renewed if it becomes worn or lightly damaged. Another reason solid surface countertops are such a popular choice, is the fact that the sink can be bonded seamlessly to the underside of the countertop, leaving no gap to clean. Additionally, since the material is non-porous, it cleans easily and is extremely stain resistant.
