Made of polyester or acrylic resins combined with mineral fillers, Solid Surface countertops were found by Consumer Reports to be “best for seamless installations.” With many colors and styles that mimic stone, concrete, and quartz, Solid Surface is both nonporous and stain-resistant. While somewhat resistant to heat and heavy impacts, its matte surface scratches easily but can also be easily repaired. They also come in various thicknesses and can be joined almost invisibly into one apparently seamless expanse, sculpted to integrate the sink and backsplash, and routed to accept contrasting inlays.” There are several solid surface brands, such as LG HiMacs , Avonite , Livingstone , and DuPont Corian , who backs their product with a 10 year limited warranty.* If you didn’t choose to go with a natural stone due to visible seams, solid surface may the choice countertop for you.
