Solid-surface: durable and can be
custom-formed.

Solid-Surface

• Durable and forgiving of scratches and blemishes (which can be sanded out because the color is solid throughout)
• Self-supporting -- needs no underlayment
• Nonporous -- resists mildew and stains
• Can be ordered custom-formed to hide seams; custom designs possible with contrasting inlays
• Available in many different patterns and finishes (some of which resemble granite, glass, or other stones)

• No match for sharp knives
• Can discolor if hot pots and pans are left in place
• Best installed by a professional contractor

• Plan to spend about $125 to $200 per running foot, installed
