Solid surface countertops are made from natural mineral fiber, binding resins, and pigments. This type of material is preferred to laminate due to its superior quality, high durability and customization options. If you want to create the look of solid stone without paying the price for installation and maintenance, then Arrow Kitchens & Bath in Webster, NY, recommends choosing solid surfacing for your bathroom or kitchen remodeling project.

Before starting on your home remodeling job, check out everything you need to know about solid surface countertops:

• Hard, Durable Plastic: While laminate countertops are made up of layers of plastic, solid surfacing consists of a single layer of high-quality plastic. This makes it more durable and resilient, and capable of lasting longer and looking better.
• Invisible Seams Without Gaps & Grout: Many other types of countertops have gaps and grout between sections, but solid surface countertops are completely seamless, so grime buildup will not be an issue.
• Customization Options: When you install solid surface countertops, you’ll choose whatever texture or color you desire. You can also create an integrated sink or a backsplash, thus protecting more surfaces than just your counters and cabinets.
• Affordability: Solid surfacing is more expensive than laminate, but it’s still cheaper than granite, making it the best option for homeowners who want to make a long-term investment in their property without fronting too much money.

Whether you’re preparing for a home remodeling project or you’re building your home from the ground up, Arrow Kitchens & Bath encourages you to research your building materials to ensure that you’re getting what you pay for.
