Studio Collection – Solid Surface

The idea behind their invention was to have a surface that looked reasonably like natural stone, but unlike stone, was non-porous.  Slice granite and you will see a wild make-up of particles forming the slab.  Beautiful, indeed, but offering up multiple avenues for cracking and breaking.

The word solid in solid-surface does evoke the idea that this is a stable base, unlike bouncy laminates.  But that is a peripheral meaning.  Dupont’s true intent was to create a surface that was the same through-and-through.  A homogenous product, Corian’s top is the same as its middle, and the middle is the same as its bottom.
