Solid surface materials are typically made of acrylic polymers and stone-derived materials. Manufactured in the form of sheets, solid surfaces can be cut, drilled, curved or molded in many different ways. Because it is seamless (seams are only visible from the underside of the surface), there is no place for dirt accumulate. In general, solid surfaces can withstand staining and scratches are easily buffed out.

Care and Cleaning
Solid surfaces are nonporous, easy to clean and require no sealing. Because solid surfaces are nonporous, stains are not able to penetrate the surface. Any marks or scratches are easily buffed out to make solid surfaces look new. Solid surfaces are not heat resistant so high heat or flame will damage them. Acidic foods and liquids will not damage solid surfaces.

Finishes
Solid surfaces have three different types of finish: matte, semigloss and high-gloss. Each finish has different attributes and recommended uses.

Edges
Solid surfaces can be fabricated with a variety of edge treatments. View sample edge treatments.
