Choosing points
- Best for counters and vanities where a clean seamless surface is wanted.
- It can be thermoformed and joined with subtle seams.
- Matte white surfaces show scratches, tea stains, and polishing marks.
- It reads softer and warmer than real stone.
How it ages
- It can scratch and scorch, but many marks can be sanded or polished out.
What to avoid
- Do not treat solid surface as structural stone or heat-proof countertop material; hot pans and unsupported spans can damage it.
