Solid Surface: features, advantages, cleaning and maintenance
Solid Surface is a new-generation material used in high-end washbasins, countertops, bathtubs and shower trays. It is made from a combination of high-purity natural minerals and advanced resins that create a homogeneous, compact, non-porous surface.
At NOA DUKEN we use high-quality Solid Surface to make durable, hygienic bathroom elements with exceptional aesthetics. Thanks to its technical properties and versatility, it has become one of the materials most valued by architects and interior designers for contemporary bathroom projects.
Main advantages of Solid Surface
- Non-porous surface: Because it is not porous, it does not absorb liquids or moisture, preventing the growth of fungi, bacteria, mould and bad odours. It is one of the most hygienic materials on the market.
- Easy to clean: Dirt stays on the surface and is easily removed with water and ordinary detergents, with no special treatments required.
- Highly resistant: Excellent performance against moisture, moderate knocks, changes in temperature, intensive use and yellowing.
- Uniform, elegant appearance: Allows continuous pieces with no visible joints and a clean design. Available in matt or gloss finishes and in custom colours on request.
- Repairable material: Small marks, stains or light surface scratches can easily be repaired without replacing the whole piece, extending its service life.
- Environmental commitment: It contains bio-based and recycled components, holds international certifications and is 100% recyclable at the end of its life.
