What is “solid surface” and how does it differ from porcelain?
Solid suface is a manufactured resin material and is extremely durable and versatile when compared to other materials that are commonly used in the bathroom. Solid surface is heat, chemical, stain, scratch and impact resistant; the material is also non-porous and consistent in color and composition the whole way through. This means that any scratches or stains that might occur can be buffed out and then the surface can be repolished back to its original finish. In contrast, porcelain products cannot typically be repaired once damaged, although porcelain does usually has a brighter and shinier finish. Solid surface is renewable and more resistant to bacteria and fungal growth.
