Avonite is a patented, non-porous homogenous blend of either acrylic or polyester resins and mineral fillers. This creates a surfacing material that looks like stone but cuts like wood.

Cigarette burns, nicks and scratches are easily removed with light sanding. The non-porous surface will not support the growth of bacteria like other natural products. Avonite solid surface material gives you: Outstanding Colors and Textures; Superior Stain Resistance; Beauty and Durability; Limitless Design Capabilities; 10 Year Warranty .

Corian® by DuPont is a unique solid surface material. Since its introduction in 1967, Corian® has proven itself to be a remarkably durable, versatile material that's easy to live with in both residential and commercial environments. Corian® is an advanced blend of natural minerals and pure acrylic polymer, developed for one purpose: to create an ideal surface for living. Color and pattern run all the way through and cannot wear away. Corian® cannot delaminate. Joints are unobtrusive, impermeable and hygienic, creating a seamless appearance. Corian® has a rich, natural translucence and is inviting to the touch. Corian® offers versatility, function and durability far beyond the scope of other materials. Yet Corian® surfaces can be fabricated with conventional tools. Look beyond the surface to understand how Corian® meets all your design and performance needs.

Because its color and pattern run throughout its thickness, Fountainhead radiates a soft, deep translucence and a natural feeling of warmth. Yet it has the toughness to stay beautiful. Fountainhead sheets, sinks and bowls resist heat, mildew, impact and stains, even troublesome ones such as tea, grape juice and iodine.

Gibraltar by Wilsonart International Available in 32 solid colors and stone-like designs, and a complete line of sinks and vanity bowls, is the only solid surfacing product on the market color-coordinated to the Wilsonart® Laminate. Few materials of any sort command the attention or create the mystique of stone-like, premium-grade Wilsonart Gibraltar Solid Surfacing. Its beautiful, sculpted appearance affirms its underlying strength and durability, plus it's backed by a 10-year installed, transferable, limited warranty. Its half-inch-thick substance lends a wood-like workability to its form. Scratch it or burn it, and it buffs back to "like new" condition under the stroke of a Scotch-Brite® pad. Match any of 37 colors and patterns with a coordinating sink, bowl, or edge and you'll create a showcase countertop. Starting with solid colors, and moving up to the slightly higher-priced stone-like patterns, Wilsonart Gibraltar Solid Surfacing looks spectacular when matched with a standard one-color or premium two-color edge profile.

Swanstone is a reinforced solid surface material that's available in a full line of kitchen, bath and restaurant products, including sinks, vanity tops & bowls, countertops, tub walls, and shower walls & floors. Swanstone is the only solid surface material that's compression molded under extreme heat and pressure. That's why Swanstone's impact strength is up to 5 times greater than other solid surface materials. And it's why Swanstone is incredibly heat resistant as well -- it won't crack or expand the way that most other solid surface materials will. Yet Swanstone costs up to a third less than other solid surface materials. Swanstone resists scratches and stains and comes in a whole spectrum of solid, granite and galaxy colors. And many Swanstone products are covered by a 25-year limited warranty. Because Swanstone is consistent throughout, it offers virtually unlimited custom design opportunities: inconspicuous seams, creative edge and corner treatments, undermount sinks and more.
