Welcome to Custom Fabrication.
Solid surface countertops, available for over 35 years are
engineered and formed by mixing mineral compounds with polyester and/or acrylic resins. Solid surface tops are manufactured from specific polymer blends, chemically engineered to be resistant to stains and acids. Solid surface materials are primarily acrylic while others are a blend of acrylic and polyester plastics Those that have a higher content of acrylic plastics seem to have higher performance standards.
The solid nature of these materials offers distinct advantages. Colors and patterns are solid throughout the material. These solid surface materials have
many of the same properties of wood, allowing them to be shaped and molded into countless shapes and figures. Because the material is plastic, special adhesives allow separate pieces of the material to be welded to one another to make one solid piece. These adhesives actually cause the plastic molecules of one piece to interlock with the molecules of the other piece.
Summary: Solid surface countertops are a good choice because they are resistant to stains and are able to inhibit the growth of germs or bacteria. They are also extremely durable, repairable, and carry their color and design straight through their thickness. Consider solid surface countertop installation. Call us today!
