What Is Solid Surface Material?

Fabricating Solid Surface Countertops in Vancouver, WA

The beginnings of solid surface products come from bauxite clay, one of the oldest natural minerals on earth. When bauxite is combined with acrylic resin and color pigments, it creates solid sheets of material, which are transformed into a variety of surfaces by certified solid surface fabricators like the ones at D & D Home Interiors, LLC.

After fabrication, the results are versatile materials with clean and elegant appearances that are ready for use throughout a home. Perfect for the kitchen solid surface countertops include seamless built-in sinks, heat-resistant trivets, and drain boards. A solid surface can be fabricated for numerous uses in a bathroom as we, by the fabrication of vanity tops, tubs, tub and shower surrounds, wall cladding, built-in shelving, flooring, moldings, and window sills.

After installation, the solid surface material is completely seamless, with no need for grout. Also, it is fully non-porous with no fissures and does not require sealing. The particular chemical composition of solid surface material makes it inhospitable to mold or mildew, and with no seams or fissures for germs to hide in, it is an exceptionally hygienic surface choice.

Easy to clean and maintain, the solid surface material can be wiped over with a damp cloth and soap to clean up most kitchen messes, and it is safe to use bleach products to sanitize it. The solid surface countertop is resistant to staining and is easily repairable.

What Does a Countertop Fabricator Do?

Fabricating Solid Surface Countertops in Vancouver, WA

The granite counters in your kitchen or bathroom undergo a process that transforms them from slabs of raw stone to gleaming, polished countertops. That process is called fabrication, and it is undertaken by a stone fabricator. The fabricator works from a template, which is used to trace the outline onto the granite that was selected by the customer.

D&D Home Interiors, LLC, specializes in fabricating solid surface countertops in Vancouver, WA, and Portland, OR. The staff also helps you choose the material for your home improvement project. The process includes a template that shows the dimensions of the installation to know exactly how much stone is needed. After the precise measurements are taken, the type of stone, veins, shading, and color are selected among the available stone options.

A fabricator is also an outstanding quality control coordinator that helps customers get exactly what they need and expect. While they help customers make their selections, most of the decisions are made before the fabrication process begins. The fabrication process is the last final inspection for stone flaws, including blemishes, fissures, seams, and scratches. After the slab is laid out, it is cut and edged to further shape the stone. Once the installation requirements are met by the fabricator, a grit polish is used to smooth the stone surface. Afterward, the stone is washed, dried, and the sealer base coat is applied before it is finally ready to be installed in your home.
