happystar 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Hi All pro solid surface top lover,recently i engaged a ID to supply solid surface top for my bathroom table top, but i found some peel off and lamination effect on the "solid surface top", just wonder is it normal? how come a solid surface top looks like a lamination top? and so many "JOINT LINE" effect?would it be low grade or face solid surface top? please advise , as i am paying S$120 per foot run.... i dont think it worth so much..... so is a FAKE solid surface?

LEDguy 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2012 Hi happy star im sorry that your counter top has brought you much unhappiness. ill help you answer your questions1. solid surface as you call it has many different compositions. what you are getting is the lower grade kind with less actual acrylic. you should ask your ID which grade they used. At 120 pfr. its rather expensive even the cost price of granite is only 80 pfr2.the joint lines come from the glueing of soild surface tops together. basically dark soild surface shows it more. but in your case. the workmanship is bad ask the ID minion to REPOLISH3. to be very sure,.. soild surface usually comes in 12mm thickness, a quick check under your cabinet door will reveal the truth hope that helped now you can go grill your ID and make him/her go case with you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happystar 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2012 Hi LEDguy,thank you for your comments. this is second time change of solid surface top, the result is still unfavourable, although so many complaint from me. finally he had cut hearly half of the price of such poor workmenship.... although i am not willing to accept, it is not obvoius under normal light except using tourch light, so better than wait for another low grade quality replacement, so i accept the offer.....so disappointed.......which mean this is still solid surface but at lowest grade type right?...... thanks Hi happy star im sorry that your counter top has brought you much unhappiness. ill help you answer your questions1. solid surface as you call it has many different compositions. what you are getting is the lower grade kind with less actual acrylic. you should ask your ID which grade they used.
