Solid Surface is an excellent option for a countertop upgrade.
Much like this picture, Solid Surface allows for undermount sinks and seamless tops.
You can add a coved splash and have a top that runs from the front edge, up the back wall and
across the entire countertop with no seam.
Although the scratch resistence and heat resistance is not great the look of a Solid Surface
top and certainly the overall durability when compared to a Laminate is well worth the expense.
Solid Surface does offer the ability to "resurface" the top in the future with re-sanding much
like a hardwood floor to bring back the luster of a fresh installation. |
