Construction and Materials
TERE-STONE® solid surface countertops and surfaces are engineered for exceptional performance and aesthetic appeal. The core of TERE-STONE® is comprised of acrylic resins and mineral fillers, primarily ATH (Alumina Trihydrate). This unique composition provides a non-porous and homogeneous material that offers significant advantages in durability, hygiene, and design versatility.
The construction process involves a proprietary casting method where the acrylic resins and mineral fillers are meticulously blended and then poured into molds. This process ensures a consistent density and a complete absence of voids, resulting in a material that is solid throughout its entire thickness. Unlike laminates or other composite materials, TERE-STONE® does not have a decorative layer that can wear away or delaminate. Its color and pattern are integral to the material itself, ensuring long-lasting beauty and performance.
Key material properties and benefits derived from its construction include:
- Non-Porous Surface: The dense, non-porous nature of TERE-STONE® prevents the absorption of liquids, oils, and other staining agents. This inherent characteristic makes it highly resistant to stains from common household substances like coffee, wine, and grease, and also inhibits the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria. This contributes to a more hygienic environment, particularly in kitchen and bathroom applications.
- Seamless Installation: The material can be fabricated with invisible seams using specialized adhesives that are chemically bonded to the substrate. This creates a continuous, monolithic surface that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also eliminates grout lines where dirt and moisture can accumulate. This seamless quality enhances both the visual appeal and the ease of cleaning.
- Durability and Repairability: TERE-STONE® is engineered to withstand the rigors of daily use. While exceptionally durable, minor scratches or damage can often be repaired in situ through sanding and buffing, restoring the surface to its original condition without the need for replacement. This repairability extends the lifespan of the product and maintains its aesthetic integrity over time.
- Design Flexibility: The casting process allows for a wide range of colors, patterns, and finishes to be achieved. TERE-STONE® can be thermoformed into various shapes and curves, allowing for complex designs and integrated sinks or backsplashes. This versatility enables designers and homeowners to create highly customized and unique surface solutions.
- Hygienic Properties: The non-porous and seamless nature of TERE-STONE® makes it an ideal choice for environments where hygiene is paramount. Its resistance to microbial growth contributes to a cleaner and healthier living or working space.
