Designing High-Touch Spaces That Actually Hold Up

Let’s face it—some spaces do the absolute most. Whether it’s a tech campus café that turns into a collaborative workspace or a corporate lobby that’s a first impression, a waiting area, and a meet-up zone all in one—public, high-traffic spaces are working harder than ever. That means every material in them needs to keep up.

These are what we call high-touch spaces, where surfaces are constantly in use—coffee cups sliding across countertops, elbows leaning on reception desks, kids playing in university lounges, spills, sanitizing, repeat. It’s a lot. That’s why designers need more than just good-looking surfaces—they need durable, high-performance ones that stand up to the pace of daily life.

Durasein Solid Surface rises to the challenge with a non-porous, stain-resistant surface that’s easy to maintain and built to last. It can be repaired in place, thermoformed into statement-making curves, and even fabricated with minimal seams thanks to our wide sheet program. Think big ideas—without the risk of high-maintenance headaches.
