Solid Surface
vs. Laminate
Solid Surface tops are repairable and can be
refinished years
later to
their original, beautiful finish.
Solid Surface tops have inconspicuous seams, integral sinks, and a 10 year limited warranty.
Solid Surface
vs. Tile
Cleaning the grout lines
is a never ending task. Tile tops can take heat well; but the tile tops
are not smooth and can chip and crack. Solid Surface is a smooth,
non-porous, bacteria free surface that is impact resistant and easy
to maintain.
Solid Surface
vs. Real Stone
All
natural stones are beautiful; however, they vary in quality, porosity, and price. Whereas high quality solid surface products are
consistently manufactured to the highest of industry
standards. Natural stones can permanently absorb stains and
consequently, must be sealed every six months. Solid Surface tops are
nonporous, have inconspicuous seams, and sinks and backsplashes can be integrated into the
top.
Quartz Surfaces vs. Real Stone
Quartz surfaces are man-made with 93% natural granite quartz and 7%
resin. Unlike real stones,
quartz surfaces have consistent patterns without the flaws and imperfections of real stone. They are stronger, harder, stain and scratch resistant, more heat resistant, bacteria free, and usually carry a 10 year limited warranty. Sealing and polishing are never necessary.
Quartz
surfaces are rated the best performing countertop material by consumer magazines. |
