How Do You Care For Solid Surface Countertops?
Solid surface countertops, known by the brand names Corian, Avonite, Livingstone and LG Solid surfaces, are a natural choice for kitchens due to their seamless nature and minimum maintenance requirements. While solid surface countertops are fairly durable, they are no indestructible and the following steps should be taken to keep your countertops in top shape. Don’t place hot pots and pans on your countertop. While solid surface countertops are touted as heat resistant, they may in fact crack from the expansion and contraction that comes with heat exposure, and lighter colored tops may become discolored. Don’t use your solid surface countertop as a cutting board. Chopping vegetables directly on your counter is a absolute don’t as solid surface countertops are not scratch resistant. Clean with a product specially formulated for solid surface countertops. While this does mean adding another cleaning product to your arsenal, these products are readily available and inexpensive.
