Solid Surface Countertops

Kitchen Design : Episode KDE-1007 -- More Projects »

Host Joan Kohn joins Jack Hussey of Jack's Custom Woodworking to learn about design possibilities with solid surface material, one of today's most popular choices for kitchen countertops.

Solid surface can be formed in any shape, including the popular farm sink. With its design flexibility, it can be formed to fit any space, tying in to existing cabinetry easily.

A high-gloss finish combined with two tones gives this dining table a contemporary look. The pattern on the surface is repeated in the solid surface legs.

With solid surface, any color combination and design concept is possible.

Engineered quartz, which combines quartz with solid surface material and mimics the look of natural stone, is hard and nonporous.

Solid surface material is chosen for its strength, durability and ease of maintenance. Scratches and imperfections that occur over time can be sanded out with an abrasive pad . Even large areas can be repaired with patching and sanding.
Solid surface comes in several hundred colors, from solid to mottled. Since it is a man-made material, the color is extremely consistent. Colors can be combined in any way imaginable.
There is no limit to the shapes that solid surface can be molded into. Customers can bring in pictures or draw a design that can be translated into the material.
Solid surface comes in three finishes: matte (the most popular), satin and high-gloss.
A new look for solid surface is engineered stone, which uses quartz in the mix . It gives a uniform pattern, is nonporous, heavy, dense and hard.
