Different Types of Solid Surface Material
Acrylic
Acrylic is the standard bearer for high-quality solid surface countertops. This is because it can be used to create a seamless look that replicates natural stone. It also resists scratching, making it tougher than materials like wood or laminate.
However, unlike natural stone, it’s extremely pliable and can be easily molded into different shapes, such as bold or organic shapes and those with special features like shelves and built-in sinks. Unlike other types of surfaces, acrylic allows you to create all these wild designs with less visible seams.
With acrylic surfaces, none of your craziest ideas are off-limits—in fact, they’re encouraged.
Polyester
Polyester is a synthetic material that usually comes from either new or recycled petroleum. It’s resistant to damage from chemicals and comes in an even larger range of color options than standard acrylic. They can also be an affordable alternative to quartz or marble while still getting the same beautiful results as natural stone.
Blended
For those who want to have the ultimate form of flexibility and durability, there are also blends of acrylic and polyester materials available. These blends marry the durability and flexibility of acrylic with the color varieties of polyester, all in a single solid surface.
Aesthetic Options
