Acrylic countertops offer a stylish aesthetic in various colors and patterns. Strong and durable, their seams are virtually undetectable for maximum aesthetics and strength.
Acrylic counters feature nonporous surfaces that make them highly hygienic and easy to keep clean, unlike marble or granite countertops that require sealing for use as surfaces. Plus, acrylic can easily integrate with sinks for seamless looks!
Acrylic countertops can withstand an impressive amount of abuse. Their hard surface can be polished to a high polish and resistant to most stains; for optimal maintenance it's best to use non-abrasive cleaners.
Heat and moisture-resistant surfaces like solid material countertops can withstand both hot pans or hair styling tools as well as moisture without discoloring or melting, keeping your countertop hygienic without hiding places for food to hide in or germs to grow.
A reliable manufacturer should back their countertops with a warranty to give you peace of mind that you are getting quality product. Hot pans should never be placed directly onto the surface; use trivets or heat pads instead to avoid damage to your surface. A trusted kitchen supplier can advise you on which manufacturers offer Corian worktops at an affordable cost.
Acrylic countertops are durable and visually appealing countertop material options, thanks to being nonporous, which means it resists staining. Hot pans may cause the surface to burn slightly; this mark can then easily be erased by buffing.
Solid surface fabricators can render acrylic solid surface virtually invisible, making it one of the more visually appealing counter materials available. Solid surface countertops also rank highly when it comes to hygiene; they're easier to keep clean and do not need regular sealing like laminate does.
Both acrylic and laminate worktops come in an assortment of colors and patterns to complement any kitchen. Acrylic worktops can more closely resemble natural stone than laminate worktops can, while it also makes splashbacks more seamless; especially important if your home features open plan spaces where this seamless look creates a sense of cohesion among rooms while increasing home value.
Acrylic solid surface countertops can be easily maintained using mild cleaners and warm water. No special kits are necessary - simple routine maintenance with mild cleaners should keep them looking their best!
These counters do not offer as much heat resistance, so should be protected from direct contact with extremely hot pots and pans. Furthermore, they are susceptible to scratching so it's best to use a cutting board when chopping directly on them. Furthermore, certain solvents like dental glues, acetones or paint thinners could potentially damage them permanently - so these should not be installed where these chemicals may be present.
Acrylic solid surfaces can be transformed into stunning designs for sinks and shower floors and surrounds, desks, retail displays and retail displays. Polyester-based solid surfaces may not offer as many customization options, but seams between pieces can often go undetectable, making it a viable choice for homeowners looking to add a creative touch to their home.
Solid surface countertops offer an upgrade from laminate surfaces and come in an assortment of colors, patterns, textures and seamless designs that can be molded to any shape desired. Their seamless construction also makes maintenance effortless; soft finish won't scratch dinnerware while NSF 51 certification ensures no food contamination. Their nonporous surface means stains won't absorb and they never require sealing to remain looking new for extended use.
Granite is generally more expensive, while synthetic surfaces like Corian or Formica contain polyester solid surfacing material for cracking, chipping or discoloration. Both come with warranties against such damage.
