Solid-Surfacing
A LITTLE OVER 35YEARS OLD, solid-surfacing is made from polyester or acrylic resin in addition to a mineral filler. Its homogenous quality allows minor scratches to be sanded away, and it is nonporous, easy to clean, highly stain resistant, and can be formed with integral sinks and backsplashes. Solid-surfacing edges can take just about any profile, and it can be formed with color accents at edges or anywhere else on the surface.
Drawbacks to solid-surfacing are its high relative cost (it can cost 10 times as much as plastic laminate and as much as some stones) and its vulnerability to heat-don't set a hot pot directly on solid-surfacing, as there's a slight possibility it can melt or crack.
