Why Choose Acrylic Solid Surface?

Acrylic solid surface is a premium engineered material made from minerals, binding resins, and added pigments. Christone India manufactures 6 solid surface ranges –Plain, Pearl, Quartz, Glitter, Alabaster, and Italian – for residential and commercial projects across India. It is repairable, seamless, and delivers a natural stone appearance at a lower cost than granite or marble.

What Is Acrylic Solid Surface and How Is It Made?

Acrylic solid surface is a man-made material composed of 2/3 aluminium trihydrate minerals and 1/3 acrylic binding resins, with added pigments for colour. This mix is cast and compressed into sheets, producing a dense, non-porous surface with consistent colour throughout its full thickness. Unlike laminate, there is no decorative top layer – the colour runs all the way through, which is what makes it fully sandable and repairable.

Three Types of Solid Surface: Acrylic, Polyester, and Hybrid

Three types of solid surface are manufactured commercially:

Acrylic-based – the most durable type, with a matte finish suited to premium residential and commercial projects.
Polyester-based – more affordable than acrylic-based, with excellent glossy finishing and UV resistance. Common in commercial fit-outs.
Acrylic-polyester hybrid – combines both base types to balance durability with affordability.

Christone India manufactures all three base types across 6 product ranges.

Solid surface can be more expensive than granite or marble. However, its durability in naturally occurring patterns, such as in a pricey stone surface with a seamless finishing at a significantly lower price, makes it the best choice.

Solid Surface FAQs

What are the three types of solid surface?

There are three types of solid surface bases:
(1) Acrylic-based — durable with matte finishing.
(2) Polyester-based — more affordable than acrylic-based, with excellent glossy finishing and UV resistance.
(3) Acrylic-and-Polyester-based — a combination to get the best of both worlds. Christone offers 6 solid surface ranges across these base types.

How does acrylic-based solid surface differ from polyester-based?

Acrylic-based solid surface is durable with a matte finish, making it suited for premium applications. Polyester-based solid surface is more affordable with excellent glossy finishing and is UV-resistant. The Acrylic-and-Polyester blend combines both to balance durability and cost.

What materials are used to make solid surface?

Solid surface is made from 1/3 binding resins, the remaining 2/3 minerals, and added pigments. This engineered composition gives it durability and a naturally occurring stone-like appearance — at a more accessible price than premium natural stone like granite or marble.

Is solid surface scratch resistant and repairable?

Yes — repairability is one of the strongest advantages of acrylic solid surface. Minor surface scratches can be removed with fine-grit sandpaper and polishing. Deeper damage can be filled, sanded flush, and polished to restore the original appearance. Because the colour and pattern run throughout the full thickness of the material, sanding never exposes a different layer underneath. This makes acrylic solid surface far more repairable than granite, quartz, or laminate.

Is solid surface more expensive than granite or marble?

Solid surface can be more expensive than granite or marble. However, its durability, naturally occurring patterns, and seamless finishing at a significantly lower price than pricey stone surfaces make it the best choice for residential and commercial interiors.

Why is solid surface considered superior to granite and marble?

Solid surface is considered superior to granite and marble for many reasons, including repairability. It offers durable construction, naturally occurring patterns, and seamless finishing — qualities that make it the preferred choice for residential and commercial interior projects.
