Solid Surface literally means durable seamless surfaces. In commercial terms, it refers to a type of artificial stone that, in addition to having a polished and glossy appearance like stone, possesses high flexibility and workability similar to wood. This material is one of the inventions and man-made materials and is a combination of aluminum hydroxide, resin, and pigment. The most common application of Solid Surface is in the creation of seamless and integrated surfaces for cabinets, counters, vanities, and also for hygienic surfaces in sinks and various decorative surfaces.

The first spark of Solid Surface material production and the related industry emerged in the early years of 1963 at DuPont, led by a professional and innovative team. This six-member team was responsible for exploring new technologies in building products for commercial applications, and Dr. Don Slocum was the only research chemist in this group, overseeing the kitchen and bathroom section of the project.

The first Solid Surface material was invented by Dr. Slocum in the laboratory, and it was registered under the commercial name Corian in October 1968. Consequently, this material is still commonly known as Corian today.

Even though more than 40 years have passed since the introduction of this material and advancements have been made in technology, formulation, and the manufacturing process of this material, much of the information available for introducing it remains similar to that from 40 years ago.

From the manufacturers' perspective, the last 20 years have produced innovations and improvements in the quality of this material and its products, as well as in the tools, machinery, and other manufacturing essentials related to it (such as adhesives and specialized sandpapers). From the designers' and architects' viewpoint, these innovations have opened new horizons for overcoming limitations and unlimited exploration of design ideas using this material.

Some of the most important advantages of the solid surface produced by Atistone include:

  • Unlimited color diversity
  • The ability to combine various selected color codes with desired grain patterns
  • The possibility of reducing thickness and light transmission for backlighting applications
  • Seamless and integrated execution of all surfaces
  • The ability to mold and create various washbasins, sinks, shower trays, etc.
  • High workability and flexibility in implementing various designs
  • Resistance to heat
  • Moisture-resistant and dirt-repellent
  • Impermeable, homogenous, and non-porous
  • The ability to mold and produce custom and specific designs and volumes
  • Easy maintenance
  • Long lifespan and low wear
  • Repairable and easy to polish
  • Creation of completely hygienic and antibacterial surfaces: The seamless and integrated execution of cabinet and countertop surfaces with kitchen sinks and washbasins prevents the formation of any grooves and seams where dirt and bacteria could accumulate. Therefore, surfaces produced with Atistone solid surface will provide you with a completely antibacterial and hygienic environment.

Atistone Solid Surface is produced in sheets with a width of 76 centimeters, a length of 3.68 meters, and a thickness of 12 millimeters. It also has the capability to mold and create specific surfaces such as various sinks, washbasins, and even different types of decorative sculptures.

Yes. Atistone, in addition to producing solid surface artificial stone slabs, provides installation and execution services for Atistone solid surface (Corian) slabs to its customers, utilizing experienced execution teams under the direct quality supervision of the company.

To order the purchase and installation of Atistone solid surface sheets, you can visit the central office and showroom of Atistone located in Tehran, Aghdasieh, Army Highway, Shahr-e-Shahr Commercial and Administrative Complex, Unit 703. After selecting your desired color code and signing the contract, a company representative will visit the project site for measurements and to take the work plans. It is important to note that prior to the representative's visit for the measurements, all unit cabinets must be installed and secured in place. Additionally, the sink and cooktop must be purchased and ready for installation.

After the measurements and precise sizing are taken, the custom sheets will be produced and installed at the project site within the time frame agreed upon in the contract.

Maintaining Atistone solid surfaces is as straightforward as caring for any polished and hard surfaces. Avoiding direct flame heat near Corian surfaces and preventing sharp or cutting objects from coming into contact with their surface are essential points in the care of Atistone solid surfaces. Even if scratches occur, the Atistone solid surface can be restored to its original condition with a simple polish.

A crucial point in the installation of solid surface materials is to schedule the installation of the solid surfaces as the final step in the kitchen preparation process. This is important because any execution work by technical teams, such as cabinet installation or tiling, can lead to accidents and damage to these surfaces.

In public belief, solid surface has become a generic name for a group of materials that have been used for countertops over the years. However, the applications of solid surface extend beyond just countertops, tables, and kitchen cabinets. Due to its exceptional quality and features, it is now used for creating shower bases, bathtubs, shower walls, flooring, tables and counters, wall and column covers, making floors and shelves, cutlery storage, and many other products including decorative sculptures. The versatility of these materials has made it an ideal choice for designing desired products and solving problems.

Solid surface has no boundaries or limitations in commercial applications. Architects and designers have realized its design capabilities, and its application is continuously expanding. Reception desks, conference tables, restaurant tables, and various applications in airports are among these.

In summary, solid surface Atistone is used in the following cases:
  • Kitchen (countertops, tabletops, and wall coverings)
  • Counter and work tables with a hard yet hygienic surface for easy cleaning
  • Seamless integrated kitchen sink and bowl, resulting in full hygiene
  • Bathroom (sinks, bathtubs, and shower bases, wall coverings)
  • Bathroom cabinets, seamless integrated sink and bowl, resulting in full hygiene
  • Shower stalls, bathtubs, walls, accessories seamlessly, hygienic and preventing water leakage to the floor and behind the wall
  • Store and supermarket (counters, shelves, sinks, restrooms, wall coverings)
  • Applicable across a wide range of stores from clothing shops to cafes and fast food outlets
   
  • In restaurants and bars (customer tables and counters, work tables)
  • Hotels (bathrooms, restrooms, shower cabinets, wall coverings, tables, counters, and reception desks)
  • Attractive and eye-catching reception desks
  • In transportation systems (airports, ships, etc.)
 
  • In public places and museums (entrance and display facades, decorative and conference meeting tables)
  • Office and administrative supplies and accessories
  • Furniture
 
  • Lighting equipment and accessories
  • In hospitals and health centers

  • Wall coverings of rooms and environments sensitive to contamination

 
 

All the above features and applications affirm this slogan and advertising phrase that "with solid surface Atistone, you are only limited by the constraints of your imagination and budget."
