The Amazing Versatility of Wilsonart Solid Surface

Consistency

Solid surface is composed of minerals, acrylic resins and colors that combine for an almost exact look in a broad range of colors and designs. While it offers the look of natural stone, the manufacturing process ensures consistency for very good color matching at installation and in the future when renovating or repairing.

Designing the Space

Solid surface can be seamed, routed, shaped and thermoformed, so it allows for more complex designs and dramatic shapes. Contrasting patterns can be integrated and custom logos and designs inlaid into the surface. Solid Surface provides unique opportunities to truly personalize a space.

Sinks

Solid surface sinks can be chemically-bonded to the surface creating a smooth, one-piece look from countertop to sink. There are no grout lines, lips or recesses to collect bacteria and mold. Restroom vanities and office kitchenettes stay looking fresh and new for longer.

Seams

There is no grout to clean, and liquids cannot penetrate the surface. Because Solid Surface seams are bonded chemically, they can be finished to a smooth, inconspicuous joint where moisture and dirt can't collect.

Edges

Complex, decorative edges are formed by fusing two pieces of Solid Surface material together. With solid surface, color and design matching between pieces is typically very good, if not exact. Seams are smooth and very inconspicuous. Using a router, your fabricator can carve or sculpt the edge almost like wood, giving you options to coordinate with other trim and details.

Stain Resistance

Since Solid Surface is nonporous, stains rarely seep into the surface. Most stains can be removed with soap and water, or buffed away.

Hygiene

Solid Surface
Wilsonart® Solid Surface products meet FDA* standards for food contact and have NSF International approval in Class 51 for both "Splash Zone" and "Food Zone" areas. Of course, regular cleaning with approved cleansers is is always recommended with the use of any surfacing product.

Heat Resistance

Minor heat damage usually can be buffed away by the maintenance staff. More severe heat damage can be inconspicuously repaired by your certified installer. Trivets are recommended by solid surface manufacturers to protect surfaces against exposure to extreme heat.

Refer to your warranty regarding coverage for any repairs.

Care/Repairability

Solid surface does not require sealing or special cleaning products. Soap and water will wipe away most stains. Minor scratches and burns can be buffed away without impacting the look or finish. More serious damage usually can be inconspicuously repaired by your certified installer.You should refer to your warranty regarding coverage for any repairs.

Note: Surfaces with a gloss or semi-gloss finish may require more maintenance than a matte or satin finish - scratches may be more apparent and require a more detailed buffing technique. Darker colors also may require more maintenance.

Warranty

Wilsonart Solid Surface is accompanied by a 10 year, transferable warranty. Wilsonart provides warranty support and a customer service hotline.
