Why Acrylic Solid Surface is Better Than Quartz, Granite, and Natural Stone
Learn why Kstone’s 100% acrylic solid surface is the smart choice for your next surface installation project.
1. 🔄 Formability & Design Flexibility
Acrylic Solid Surface: Easily thermoformed into seamless curves, integrated sinks, and custom 3D shapes—ideal for creative, ergonomic designs in any environment.
Quartz, Natural Stone, Granite: Rigid and difficult to customize; cannot achieve curved or seamless designs easily.
2. 🔧 Repairability
Acrylic Solid Surface: Easily repaired on-site through sanding and buffing—restores original appearance.
Quartz & Natural Stone: Repairs are difficult or costly; cracks and chips often require replacement.
3. ☢️ Non-Radioactivity & Environmental Safety
Acrylic Solid Surface: Non-toxic, radon-free, and safe for medical, residential, and educational use.
Granite & Natural Stone: May emit low levels of radon, impacting indoor air quality.
4. 🚫 Non-Porosity & Hygiene
Acrylic Solid Surface: Non-porous and easy to clean—perfect for hospitals, kitchens, and bathrooms.
Natural Stone: Porous and requires sealing to maintain hygiene and resist stains.
5. 🔗 Seamless Jointing
Acrylic Solid Surface: Sheets can be fused into seamless surfaces for better aesthetics and cleanliness.
Quartz & Granite: Seams are visible and can trap dirt and bacteria.
