Solid Surface is the collective term for composite materials that are colored throughout the mass. They are solid and homogeneous and can be used for demanding applications.
All Solid Surface products have aluminum trihydrate (ATH) as their base component. Acrylate or polyester resins are used as the second component and binder.
Aluminum hydroxide gives the material high rigidity and also ensures that it is more heat-resistant than other plastics.
Acrylate and/or polyester provide flexibility, which primarily results in good workability, high impact resistance, and strength.
The excellent properties of Solid Surface include:
- solid, non-porous, and homogeneous
- moisture- and stain-resistant, repels most bacteria
- strong and durable
- low-maintenance
- warm, timeless, beautiful, and as robust as stone
- can be worked like wood
- thermoformable
- environmentally friendly and ecologically sound
Thermal shock:
To prevent the risk of thermal shock* caused by
excessive temperature differences,
we recommend preheating the product with lukewarm water
during cold periods before turning the faucet fully
to the hot setting. The water temperature should never exceed
60°C.
*Thermal shock: Sudden temperature changes
can cause high stress in the material,
which may result in cracks and fractures in the
product, especially on cold days.
Caring for Solid Surface Material
For regular cleaning, you can use a natural cleaning product, such as green soap or cleaning vinegar. If a scratch occurs in the material, you can “polish” the material again using a sponge and Cif. Do this by making circular motions across the surface. Then, thoroughly rinse the cleaned surface with lukewarm water and wipe it dry with a clean, soft cloth.
