Benefits of Acrylic Solid Surface Countertops
What makes acrylic solid surface a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms? The engineered material offers a combination of features that set it apart from natural stone and other surfaces:
- Seamless and Sleek – The pieces of an acrylic solid surface countertop are joined with a special adhesive that creates an invisible bond, resulting in a smooth, continuous surface. This is especially beneficial for large or L-shaped counters, where seams can be an eyesore.
- Non-Porous and Hygienic – Unlike natural stone, acrylic solid surface is completely non-porous. This means it doesn't need sealing and won't harbor bacteria, mold, or mildew. Its resistance to stains and chemicals makes it a hygienic choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
- Durable and Repairable – While solid surfaces are softer than stone and can be scratched, they’re also renewable. Minor cuts, scrapes, and stubborn stains can be easily repaired. With simple sanding and buffing, your countertop can be restored to its original finish.

Our Installation Process
A flawless finish depends on a professional acrylic solid surface countertop installation. Our team follows a meticulous process to ensure your new countertops are installed to perfection:
- Consultation and Templating – We begin by visiting your home to take precise measurements and create a template of your cabinetry. This ensures a custom fit.
- Fabrication – Your chosen acrylic solid surface slab is cut and shaped at our facility according to the template. Any cutouts for sinks, faucets, or cooktops are made at this stage.
- Seaming and Finishing – If your design requires multiple pieces, we join them using specialized adhesive to create those seamless countertops. The edges are profiled, and the entire surface is finished to your desired sheen.
- Installation – Our installers deliver and carefully place your new countertops, securing them to your cabinets. We then install the sink and any other integrated features, ensuring a level fit.
Acrylic Solid Surface Countertop Maintenance & Care
One of the best features of acrylic solid surface countertops is how easy they are to maintain. For daily cleaning, simply use soap and water or a mild household cleaner with a soft cloth. Since the material is non-porous, spills won’t penetrate the surface, but it’s best to wipe them promptly. Always use a cutting board for chopping and place trivets under hot pots and pans to prevent scratches and heat damage. While minor scratches can often be buffed out with a mild abrasive cleanser, deeper damage should be handled by a professional.
