Different applications of solid surface materials

Solid surface is a versatile material and finish that can be used in many different ways including the following:

Countertops and benchtops

Widely used in kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces, solid surface benchtops offer seamless joints and are resistant to stains, heat, and scratches.

Bathroom vanities

Solid surface materials are very popular in New Zealand for vanities due to their non-porous nature, making them easy to clean and resistant to moisture and mould.

Integrated sinks and basins

Solid surface sinks can integrated into the countertop, ensuring easy cleaning and a sleek aesthetic.

Wall cladding

The smooth, durable and hygienic traits of this material make it well-suited for wall cladding in bathrooms, kitchens, or commercial interiors.

Shower bases and bathtubs

You’ll also find shower trays and bathtubs made with solid surfaces, particularly at the premium end due to their luxurious feel.

The advantages of high-quality solid surface materials

High-quality solid surface materials offer significant advantages delivering superior performance, aesthetics, and longevity. They are highly durable, resistant to everyday wear and tear and won’t stain, crack or discolour over time. Their non-porous nature makes them an extremely hygienic option by preventing the absorption of liquids and the growth of bacteria. High-quality surfaces also feature seamless joins and refined finishes, creating a flawless look that’s hard to replicate with lower-grade materials. Premium solid surfaces provide better repairability and colour consistency, making them a more reliable and cost-effective choice in the long run despite the higher initial investment.

How to choose a solid surface product 

Choosing a solid surface product in New Zealand requires careful consideration of quality, style, and functionality to suit your needs. Start by looking into the durability and warranty of the product, as premium options often come with extended guarantees that reflect their quality. Look for non-porous surfaces that resist stains, mould, and bacteria, especially if you’re planning to use them in the kitchen or bathroom. Exploring the customisable aspects of the product makes sense too, given the way seamless way the material can be shaped. Ask about the product's repairability and maintenance requirements and be sure to prioritise trusted suppliers, comparing options from reputable brands that offer a wide range of colours and textures to complement your space.

Other finishes you may be interested in

There are a number of other finishes that might be of interest if you’re embarking on a large building or renovation project. For example, tiles and stones are a Kiwi favourite due to their strength, versatility and the huge range of colours and styles to choose from. Acoustic solutions, traditionally favoured for commercial projects, are increasingly finding their way into residential projects too for the soundproofing qualities they offer. Finally, you’ll always need a splash of paint around the home for an injection of colour and vibrancy to create that feeling of a sanctuary.
