This flexible option is available in many patterns and colors and may better suit your needs than other options on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2><strong>Solid Surface Countertop: Composition<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Solid surface countertops are composed of minerals, binding resins and added pigments. The minerals are a bauxite derivative known as aluminum trihydrate (ATH). ATH is a fine, white powder that helps solid surfaces maintain their smooth consistency during the manufacturing process. Most people consider a solid surface a better countertop than laminate because it&#8217;s made from a solid piece of material and can be repaired.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">There are two types of solid surfaces: acrylic-based and polyester-based. Acrylic-based solid surface materials are durable and have a matte appearance. Polyester-based solid surface countertops are usually more affordable but tend to be more brittle than acrylic countertops. They have a glossier appearance and are UV-resistant so they won&#8217;t fade in the sun. Customers can look at technical specifications to understand whether the product they are looking at purchasing is made using acrylic or polyester.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2><strong>Pros of Solid Surface<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">There are many pros to using solid surface countertops in both kitchens and bathrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Kitchen-Countertop-made-by-HIMACS-Solid-Surface.jpg\" alt=\"HIMACS Solid Surface white kitchen countertop\" class=\"wp-image-441\" style=\"width:1200px;height:793px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Kitchen-Countertop-made-by-HIMACS-Solid-Surface.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Kitchen-Countertop-made-by-HIMACS-Solid-Surface-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Kitchen-Countertop-made-by-HIMACS-Solid-Surface-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Kitchen-Countertop-made-by-HIMACS-Solid-Surface-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">HIMACS Solid Surface white kitchen countertop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Available in many colors and patterns, these countertops are easy to clean and maintenance free. Since they are molded to fit perfectly, there are no seams or joints to seal. In addition, they are easy to care for and only need to be wiped down with soap and water or another mild household cleaner. Furthermore, these countertops are non-porous, so they resist stains and food-borne bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Solid surface countertops are also impact-resistant, holding up to daily usage in a busy kitchen or bathroom setting. If something should damage the countertops, solids surfaces are restorable and can be easily sanded and repaired by an expert.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2><strong>Cons of Solid Surface<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Solid surface countertops are not heat resistant and can easily get discolored or cracked if you sit a hot pan down on them directly. They are also more susceptible to scratches, so cutting directly on them will likely damage the finish. In addition, if they are exposed to harsh chemicals like nail polish remover, paint thinner or oven cleaner, they can be damaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">While solid surface countertops aren&#8217;t as durable and heat resistant as some other countertops, but slight damage and burns can be repaired fairly easily.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2><strong>Solid Surface Countertops vs. Other Countertops<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">As mentioned, solid surface countertops aren&#8217;t quite as durable and heat resistant as granite, marble or solid stone versions. However, those popular countertop options are usually more expensive and require routine maintenance. Stone countertops are also more expensive and porous, meaning they&#8217;re less hygienic compared to solid surface counters. And speaking of expensive, those stainless steel countertops featured in restaurant kitchens are generally not cost-effective or practical anywhere else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Laminate surfaces are generally plastic glued into particleboard, which means they are very susceptible to chipping and far less durable than solid surfaces. Laminate can quickly show wear and damage with heavy daily usage and must be replaced more often than solid surface counters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Wood counters are porous, making them hard to sanitize and keep clean. Wood is also softer than stone, so these countertops will be more prone to damage and stains. Wood countertops need also need to be refinished from time-to- time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Finally, ceramic tile requires many grouted seams, making food preparation more difficult and the surface harder to keep clean. Solid surface, on the other hand, provides a smooth, sanitary surface and does not require resealing or other expensive and time-consuming maintenance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2><strong>Is Solid Surface Best for Countertops?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"530\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Design-flexibility-ranking-of-countertop-materials.jpg\" alt=\"Design Flexibility Ranking of Countertop Materials \" class=\"wp-image-444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Design-flexibility-ranking-of-countertop-materials.jpg 530w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Design-flexibility-ranking-of-countertop-materials-300x282.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Design Flexibility Ranking of Countertop Materials<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">Solid surface should be at the top of your list if you&#8217;re looking for contemporary, high-quality countertops.
