top material available. There is no other product that features the wide variety of options that make

A major appeal of solid surface is its seamless nature. Solid surface sinks can be joined to the
counter top surface with no gaps, which eliminates areas for water to collect and bacteria to grow.

without gaps.

Benefits of Solid Surfacing
Stain Resistance - Non-porous material makes solid surface extremely stain resistant. A healthy
counter top choice, because solid surface is non-porous, bacteria, molds and moisture cannot
penetrate its surface.
Heat Resistance - Solid Surfacing is very heat resistant however, it is not heat proof. We do not
recommend setting any extremely hot cookware directly on any counter top surface. The extreme
change in temperature can cause damage. A hot pad or trivet is recommended.
Cutting and Abrasion - Solid Surface material is very durable and can resist damage from everyday use. Scratching from cutting and hard rough surfaces
can create fine lines in the material. The advantage with solid surface compared with other materials is the ability to repair and renew the surface. So even
after the heaviest use, we can renew the surface to a beautiful finish.
Impact - Solid surface material can withstand high impact because of its chemical make up. If you damage the counter surface it is easily repaired.
Food Safe - Unlike granite, Solid Surface has been certified for use as a food preparation surface. Solid Surface is non-porous, making clean up easy and
preventing food and moisture from penetrating its surface — the main source of growth for harmful bacteria.
