Solid Surface
Solid surface is a premium benchtop material made from natural minerals and acrylic resin, with a smooth, satin finish that looks as good as it feels. It contains no crystalline silica or quartz, making it a safer option for the tradies who work with it and the families who live with it.
What makes solid surface stand out is the joins. Unlike stone, there's no hard line where two pieces meet. Seams are inconspicuous and blend naturally into the surface. Some sheet grain variation may mean a subtle shift in vein direction, but nothing like the obvious joins you'd see with other materials.
It's also thermoformable, meaning we can shape and mould it into custom designs that other materials simply can't achieve.
We've been fabricating solid surface benchtops at our Geelong workshop for over 25 years, working with trusted brands like Corian, Meganite and Staron. It's a product we know well and genuinely rate.
Please note: Installation is available across Geelong and the Surf Coast only.
Advantages of Solid Surface
-

Silica Free
Solid Surface is regarded as one of the safest benchtop materials in the industry as it contains zero silica and quartz. This means fabricating, installing and removing our benchtops poses no risk of silicosis to you or our workers.
-

Non-Porous
Solid Surface boasts a non-porous composition, preventing liquids from penetrating into the surface. This quality makes Solid Surface the ideal choice for both residential and healthcare settings, as it effectively resists bacteria, germs, and viruses. This also makes the surface stain resistant so you can say goodbye to red wine stains for good.
-

Inconspicuous Joins
Solid Surface sheets can be joined together using a specialised adhesive, resulting in near invisible joins. This ensures that your benchtop designs are free from any unsightly joins hindering the aesthetic appeal of your benchtops.
-

Repairable
Solid Surface benchtops are not only durable but also easily repairable. If you encounter any minor damages like knocks or chips, rest assured that we can seamlessly repair the surface on site, leaving virtually invisible joins. This means you won't need to replace the entire benchtop, saving you time and money. Plus, Solid Surface can be repurposed into a new benchtop if needed. It's a sustainable and cost-effective choice for the long term.
-

Thermoformable
Through thermoforming, Solid Surface sheets are carefully heated to controlled temperatures, allowing them to soften and be shaped according to your vision. This versatile process enables you to achieve unique and personalised designs that perfectly compliment your space. Whether you're looking for sleek curves or intricate shapes, thermoformed Solid Surface offers limitless possibilities to bring your design ideas to life.
-

UV Resistant
Solid Surface stands as a resilient choice for outdoor applications, boasting durability, waterproof properties, and UV resistance. With this material, your benchtops are built to withstand the rigors of outdoor environments, ensuring they remain unfazed by harsh UV rays and maintaining their vibrant appearance without fading over time.

Common Questions
-
Once we've quoted and confirmed your project, we'll arrange an on-site measurement and templating appointment. We offer installation for all jobs within the Geelong and Surf Coast region. For simpler jobs with no on-site joins, your cabinet maker may be able to complete the installation themselves.
-
We fabricate and install solid surface benchtops across the Geelong and Surfcoast region. If you're located outside this area, we may be able to supply benchtops directly to your cabinet maker, depending on the complexity of your plans.
Please note, jobs requiring on-site joins must be installed by an accredited Corian fabricator.
-
The lead-time will vary depending on the size and complexity of your job. Our typical lead-time is 3-4 weeks but it is best to check in with our team.
-
Clean daily with warm soapy water or an ammonia-based cleaner.
Wipe surfaces dry to prevent water marks or dullness.
Avoid placing hot pots, pans, or appliances directly on the surface — always use a trivet or heat pad.
Never cut directly on the surface — use a cutting board to prevent scratches.
Avoid harsh chemicals like paint removers or oven cleaners; rinse immediately if contact occurs.
For sinks, use a non-abrasive cleaner or Soft Scrub® with a Scotch-Brite™ pad.
