What are Solid Surface Countertops? Getting the Facts about this Wonderful Material

When remodeling a kitchen, bathroom or other room and looking to choose the countertop material that works best for your unique household, you will likely have a few questions about solid surface countertops. Over our many years as an expert countertop fabrication and installation company, we have installed solid surface countertops in many Hudson WI area homes. We understand that it can be difficult at times to figure out which countertop material is the right one for your home and family. So, we are here to offer some facts about solid surface countertops and their many benefits.

The major benefits to installing solid surface countertops:
Special features unique to solid surface include inconspicuous seams, elegant coved or set-on backsplashes and decorative edge details.  They also come with an extended manufacturer’s warranty. They are even suitable for shower walls and seats.

What solid surface countertops are made up of:
The material is a combination of acrylics or polyester resins along with an inert filler material. Consumers looking for the most creative design options from a long-lasting countertop surface look to the half-inch thick, 100% acrylic/acrylic blend. The reason these types of countertops are so popular is because they are easily installed and repaired, but they are also a great complement to any room in the home.

Style possibilities:
Solid surface countertops are extremely customizable. They don’t just come in one or two colors. They are available in a wide range of colors and designs, so you are sure to find the perfect countertops to match your kitchen or bathroom décor. They are versatile in design and application, including several stylish and seamless sink style options.

The durability of solid surface countertops:
A certified professional can renew the surface to its original state in a few hours – rather than replacing worn-looking countertops. You don’t need to worry about bacteria growing on them either; solid surface countertops are non-porous so they will not harbor bacteria. Plus they are easy to clean and don’t require any special cleaning products.
