What Are the Different Types of Solid Surface Countertops?

Our Solid surface countertops are composed of two-thirds natural minerals and one-third high-performance acrylic resin and pigments. With our solid surface, you can create a seamless look that replicates the look of natural stone and choose from a variety of bold, beautiful colors to match your design ideals. 

Despite looking like natural stone, solid surface is extremely pliable and can be thermoformed into different shapes, with standard woodworking tools including countertops with built-in sinks or shelves. You will love working with solid surface materials because the limit truly does not exist.

Affordability

Solid surface countertops marry the beauty and durability of materials like granite, marble, and quartz, without the high cost associated. It feels just as solid as natural stone while giving you more room to play with some of your craziest ideas. After all, those materials cost a pretty penny for both parts and labor.

Durability

All types of solid surface kitchen countertops are more durable than even the toughest laminate materials. They’re also less demanding or high-maintenance than marble or granite while still offering the same beautiful finish.

Solid surface finishes are designed to last a lifetime and keep looking beautiful with minimal cleanup, resealing, or stain removal needed.

Customization

Our solid surface comes with a lot of opportunities for customization of shape, design, color, and beyond, and our specification team is at the heart of it all.

Our solid surface countertops have been the base for some of our wildest color experiments. Whether you need something inspired by the pinkish hues of an Orange County sunset or a neon green that’s perfect for an in-house rave, solid surface can help you capture any vibe imaginable.

We have dedicated specification representations ready to consult with you on your project—from sampling all the way through to fabrication. 

Color

Our solid surface countertop materials can come in a huge spectrum of color options. And we are always creating more color options! With Durasein, we are always pushing the limits of what the next solid surface color can and should be. Why be boring when you can stand out? 

Whether you want a naturally inspired color or a statement color our options can help your design send a message.

Theme

We categorize our solid surfaces into three different themes. These can completely change the look and feel of your kitchen, bathroom, reception area, poolside bar, or open-air pizza oven surrounds.

The themes we offer at Durasein include:

• Solid: This theme includes neutral shades like Natural White and Nocturne, as well as bold tones like Energy Orange and Spiritual Purple when you want to make a statement.

• Chipped: Encapsulating a range of colors inspired by natural stones, the Chipped theme includes the glimmering white of Glacier Tundra and the sand-inspired Oahu, as well as deep tones like Coal and Nightfall.

• Veined/marbled: This theme captures the metamorphic beauty of marble by replicating the darker veins captured in the classic white stone. There are also darker shades that replicate the look and feel of granite or the depths and elegance of outer space.
