About Acrylic Worktops
As it says in the name, solid surface countertops are just that—solid. Here are a few of the reasons this material might be the right option for your new worktops.
Solid surface come in a huge range of colours and finishes. Make your vision a reality by customizing the look to match your kitchen. The manufacturing process makes these counters appear almost entirely seamless, as they fit together closely and can be sanded once installed to reduce the visibility of seams. That means a clean look across your countertop surfaces, no matter the shape or size.
These worktops are a great option if you want a low maintenance countertop. They are easy to clean, and do not hold onto bacteria because they are non-porous surfaces. This also makes them waterproof, so you do not have to worry about water damage near sinks. Solid surface worktops resist stains and are impact resistant, they can also be easily repaired if needed. Seamless patches can be used, and sanding can be done for visible scratches. That means your worktops will be a lifetime investment.
One of the biggest advantages of solid surface worktops is the price. These worktops tend to be more affordable than natural stone. Although that is the general norm, it is important to keep in mind that finishing, customization options and other factors will have an impact on the overall cost.
Acrylic worktops and backsplash depth
For kitchens 38mm in total - 12mm Corian / Tri-stone on an MDF subframe is the standard depth. But the beauty of solid surface is that it can be made to any bespoke size. The 12mm is a good thickness for splash backs
Edge options
The edge detail is another area where there are plenty of options ranging from Standard Square with Chamfer to cove Ogee. Besides style, consider the function before making the final selection. The radius of the corners is another consideration, especially on Islands.
Measure & Template
We will work with the homeowner to measure and template before cutting the sheets. The homeowner can then pre-approve the templates and actually lay them out on the acrylic sheets if required. This is particularly important especially when you have a material with a lot of movement so the client can determine exactly which portion of the acrylic they want to use.
