Looking for a countertop material that can withstand the toughest stains and spills? Look no further than solid surface. With its stain-resistant properties, most stains can be wiped or scrubbed away effortlessly. Say goodbye to grease spots, blueberries, graffiti, makeup, and more. Solid surface is your answer to a pristine and blemish-free surface.

But it doesn’t stop there. Solid surface is also antimicrobial, making it an invaluable choice for healthcare settings like hospitals, doctors’ offices, and retirement homes. It doesn’t support the growth of bacteria, mold, or mildew, ensuring a hygienic environment for all. Plus, it’s perfect for kitchens and bathrooms too!

Not only is solid surface safe for food contact, but it is also certified by NSF/ANSI Standard 51. This certification means that it meets the highest standards of food safety, making it ideal for kitchen countertops. And with its Greenguard NSF Indoor Air Quality certification, solid surface ensures that your indoor air remains clean and free from harmful substances.

Choosing solid surface also means making an eco-friendly choice. With SCS Certified Recycled Content, you can show your commitment to conserving natural resources. Many brands qualify for Leeds Points, giving you even more reason to choose sustainable options.

Solid surface is not only beautiful and durable, but it is also renewable. Light sanding can easily remove scratches, small chips, and even scorch marks. For more significant damage, a professional solid surface repairman can quickly restore it to its original glory.

With invisible seams, large surfaces become seamless and hygienic. No more worries about crumbs, dirt, stains, or bacteria finding their way into the seams. And the best part? No need for sealing or painting. Solid surface eliminates the burden of regular maintenance, making your life easier.

Unlike wood, solid surface is dimensionally stable. It won’t experience shrinkage cracks or raised grain, even with temperature changes. And with its thermoformable properties, it can be heated and bent into curves and shapes, giving you endless design possibilities.

But the benefits don’t stop there. Solid surface is printable, allowing you to transfer images and text into the surface. The possibilities for customization are endless. And with an abundance of colors, patterns, and designs to choose from, you can create a truly unique and stunning countertop.

Experience the touch and feel of solid surface. Its smooth, warm, and forgiving hardness makes it a joy to use. No need to worry about glasses breaking when tipped over. And when it comes to outdoor applications, solid surface shines. It withstands weather and UV impact, with lighter colors showing little signs of aging.

Resistant to the majority of common chemicals, solid surface can handle everyday spills and messes. However, strong acids and concentrated bleach may cause a hazing effect. But worry not, a wet Scotchbrite® pad will easily remove any haze.

Butcher Block Countertop Pros
Versatility: Butcher block countertops not only come in traditional woods like cherry, oak, maple, cherry and walnut, but also bamboo, teak, tigerwood, zebrawood, wenge, beech, hickory and mahogany can be used. Plus, you typically have the option to choose edge grain, end grain or blended styles with butcher block.
Cost: Butcher blocks aren’t as cheap as laminate countertops, but they aren’t as expensive as natural stone countertops. Butcher block typically runs between $30 and $40 per square foot, depending upon the type of wood you choose. The labor cost to install a butcher block countertop is between $50 and $70 per square foot.
Longevity: Butcher block can last for around 20 years with regular maintenance, which places it in line with granite countertops. Butcher block will typically outlast laminate countertops.
Easy to Clean: Butcher block doesn’t need any crazy cleaning solutions. A sponge dipped in a mix of two cups of warm water with a teaspoon of dish soap will usually do the trick. If you want to disinfect the butcher block, use some vinegar. To remove a butcher block stain, put salt over the stain and rub the spot with half of a lemon.
Easy to Refinish: This could be a con in the eyes of other people, but should you have to refinish butcher block because of nicks or scratches, all you need to do is sand it down. Sand butcher block with fine-grit sandpaper, like 220-grit, to remove affected spots and re-oil the surface with food-safe oil.
