Solid Surface 101: A How-To Fabrication Guide

We receive all sorts of questions about all aspects of solid surface material.

What is solid surface made from?

Do you have this specific color of solid surface?

How do I thermoform solid surface?

And we work hard to answer every single one of them. But you being a self-sufficient bunch of people — as fabricators, craftspeople, and DIYers often are — we thought we’d provide you something extra:

A free educational series on everything about solid surface. We’re calling it Solid Surface 101.

Here’s what we plan to cover:

• Introduction to Solid Surface

• Who Can Buy Solid Surface Materials and Tools? And Where Do We Get It?

• The Basics: Cutting, Gluing, Seaming and Finishing Solid Surface

• Countertop Fabrication Essentials: Templating and Edge Build-Up

• Solid Surface Sink Installation

• Advanced Techniques in Solid Surface

• Solid Surface Tips and Tricks to Make Life Easier

We’ll roll out this series over the next several weeks, starting with basic information on solid surface, tooling, and fabricating.  If you want to stay informed of updates, please sign-up for our newsletter using the form at the bottom of any page.

We plan to answer as many of the questions we’ve received over the last few years as possible in this educational series. If you have any questions, feedback, or would like to see any special features covered, please drop us a note!
