Solid Surface Seams and Variations
General Information regarding directional aesthetics Solid Surface:
These products have characteristics that require some specific fabrication methods:
- Random directional veining that ranges from subtle to bold
- The veining pattern changes through the thickness
- The edge of the sheet has a different appearance than the top
- The overall shade may change slightly through the thickness
- There will be a visual break in the patterns at seams
- Cutting into the sheet will reveal a different pattern; this causes problems at coved backsplashes, engraved drain boards, etc.
- Edge detail: the veined colors have random directional veining that ranges from subtle to bold. The layering of pattern variation may show in the edge detail
