Why Solid Surfaces Versus Granite?
Composition:
Solid Surface:
Consistent color and pattern run all the way through and cannot wear away.
Granite:
Color and pattern run through entire thickness-but may not be consistent.
Looks:
Solid Surface:
Hundreds of consistent colors and textures available that are rich in visual translucency.
Granite:
Mostly dark colors-no solids or whites. Varies in tone and texture. Shiny surface.
Design Versatility:
Solid Surface:
Can be cut, formed, inlayed, carved, routed, and thermoformed to create unlimited, unique designs. Solid Surface sinks create seamless-looking countertops.
Granite:
Limited design versatility. No granite sinks available and installation creates visible seams.
Ease of Cleaning:
Solid Surface:
Easy to clean with no open seams to trap dirt. Nonporous surface resists stains because liquids can’t penetrate.
Granite:
Porous surface can stain and visible seams trap dirt and are difficult to clean.
Durability/ Renewability:
Solid Surface:
Nick, cuts and scratches removes with ordinary abrasive cleaner or sandpaper.
Granite:
Scratches are hard to remove. Professional care required. Nicks, chips, and cracks may not be repairable. Must be professionally resealed and re-polished.
Warranty:
Solid Surface:
Most solid surface backed by 10 year warranty that is transferable if you sell your home.
Granite:
No warranty unless provided by the installer.
