Acrylic Solid Surface
Nonporous sheets that can be formed into various shapes
Extremely popular in the 1990s and early 2000s, acrylic solid surface is an engineered countertop material that offers countless designs and colors. Created from a mixture of minerals, pigments, and acrylic resin, thin sheets of this material can be easily formed into different shapes. This unique characteristic allows acrylic solid surface to be used for many applications throughout a home besides your normal countertop spaces. One of the most popular uses is shower walls so that there aren’t any grout lines to clean. Another major attribute to this countertop material is the sheets are connected together in a seamless fashion. Using special glue and combining techniques, an entire kitchen will look like a big countertop that came together.
Beautiful, High-Quality Material in Many Colors
Like other man-made countertop materials, acrylic solid surface is not heat-resistant, so hot objects cannot be placed directly on the surface without leaving a mark. However, acrylic solid surface is completely non-porous, making it extremely clean and healthy, which is why this is the most common countertop material used in hospitals and other medical offices. If needed, repairs to the countertop will be invisible, similar to the seamless nature of this material. It’s also important to note that a qualified, trained fabricator can restore an acrylic solid surface countertop to its original condition using special techniques, meaning that your investment can be renewed continuously rather than needing to be replaced.
