Solid Surface Insights
Solid surface is a man made material generally composed of acrylic, epoxy, ATH, and/or polyester resins and pigments. DuPont was first to patent a solid surface material called Corian back in 1967. Since then, dozens of other companies have created their own solid surface material and put it on the market for consumer use.
Solid surface has many great qualities including stain resistance and germ repellening attributes, plus it never needs to be sealed, but it is highly favored for two other big reasons: installs are done in a seamless manor, meaning that no seams will be visable in the project and solid surface sinks can be molded seamlessly into countertop projects.
Solid surface also has another interesting and unique quality. It can be heat treated to form curves and other shapes. You could create a round or oddly shaped reception desk, go over a waterfall edge with no seams, just a nice soft, rounded over edge or create vertical applications such as wall art.
