Solid Surface was first introduced more than 50 years ago and remains a strong option for both residential and commercial surfacing. From bathroom and kitchen counters to high-traffic transaction counters in retail environments or wet areas in healthcare, solid surfacing is a functional, stylish, and durable option. 

Through this program, you will gain an understanding of how solid surface is made and the safety concerns during installation. We will explore the unique features and benefits of solid surface materials and address common questions associated with selecting and specifying a solid surfacing material, including how it benefits occupant health and safety. We will also gain an understanding of how solid surface is made and the safety concerns required during installation.
