QUICK TIPS
Solid Surface Kitchen Countertops
Solid surface kitchen countertops are made
out of solid synthetic sheets formed by mixing a
mineral compound with polyester and/or acrylic resins. Common brand names
include Corian and Avonite.
Pros
- Because it’s solid, chips, dents, and
scratches can be repaired easily.
- Comes in a variety of colors and
finishes and can look and feel like stone.
- Flexible enough to form decorative
shapes and an integral sink.
Cons
- May crack as it cools down after a hot
item has been on it.
- Will stain. However, because it’s
nonporous (that is, nothing soaks too far into it), spots can be
scrubbed out.
- Could become discolored if a heavy
object falls on it.
- You’ll need to use a cutting board,
though scratches can be sanded out.
