Lewisville Countertops fits solid surface countertops in homes across Lewisville. We measure your cabinets first, then have each solid surface top made to fit them.
What solid surface countertops are made of
U.S. Customs and Border Protection ruled on a solid surface sheet made for kitchen and bath counters. It says that sheet is made of acrylic resin and aluminum hydroxide filler, and it classes the sheet as a plastic.
It also ruled on a second, modified acrylic sheet that adds polyester resin to the mix. So the solid surface tops we fit are man-made: a plastic with a mineral filler mixed in.
How solid surface looks and cleans
A design guide from the Department of Veterans Affairs describes a solid surface countertop as nonporous, smooth, and with no seams that show. On the solid surface we fit, nonporous means there are no tiny holes in the top for spills to soak into. The guide also says the top is easy to clean and, with proper cleaning, does not support the growth of mold.
We fit solid surface in kitchens and on bathroom vanity tops when you want one even color across the whole counter.
What sets the price of solid surface
We price solid surface countertops for your house once we've measured, and you get that quote in writing. Our price depends on the color you choose, how much counter we cover, the edge you pick, and how many holes we cut for the sink and the cooktop, the burners set into the counter.
Not sure solid surface is right for you? We can quote it side by side with quartz or granite.
Looking after solid surface
FoodSafety.gov says to wash countertops with hot, soapy water, especially after they've held raw meat, poultry, seafood or eggs. On any solid surface top we fit, we'd still set hot pans on a stand or pad and use a cutting board for knives.
What to get in writing
Ask for these in writing, whoever you hire:
- The brand, color name and thickness of the solid surface.
- A drawing of the layout, with every seam and cutout marked.
- Which edge you are getting.
- Whether the sink is a separate bowl or part of the same top.
- Whether taking out and hauling away the old countertops is in the price.
- Who disconnects and reconnects the sink, faucet and cooktop.
Questions about solid surface countertops in Lewisville
Is solid surface the same as quartz?
No. NIOSH, part of the CDC, says engineered stone is also known as quartz, and a report in the CDC's library says it is made of crushed stone bound by resins. The solid surface we fit is a plastic with a mineral filler, and if you'd rather have stone, we also fit quartz countertops.
Do I need a permit for new solid surface countertops in Lewisville?
The City of Lewisville lists cosmetic projects, such as replacing cabinets or installing carpet, as not needing a building permit, and it suggests calling its Building Services staff to confirm. If a permit is needed, the city says you should never apply for it on behalf of your contractor. If your job moves a sink or changes the plumbing, we'll make that call to the city with you before we start.
How do I pick a solid surface color?
We'd look at samples in your own kitchen, next to your cabinets and under your lights, before you choose.
Can you replace my old laminate with solid surface?
Yes, we can take out old laminate or tile tops and fit solid surface in their place as part of a countertop replacement job.
Can you fix a scratch or chip in a solid surface countertop?
Send us a photo, or ask us to come and look. We'll tell you whether a countertop repair will hold or the piece should be replaced.
Can you put in a backsplash at the same time?
Yes, we can. Once the solid surface is set, we do backsplash installation, facing the strip of wall just above the counter with tile or stone that goes with it.
