Solid Surface
Solid surface is the application of acrylic for replacing the natural stone without the ingredients from the natural stones. There are some added characteristics to be used more conveniently. The solid surface consists of 2 parts: natural mineral and acrylic resin. Solid surface can be applied to use in the household such as the kitchen, bathroom as well as in the business area such as bank, airport, school, and office. The example of the usage of solid surface is the application on the top counter in the kitchen, bathroom and reception room. Another example is the working counter, vanity top counter, sink, wall, window frame, wall-hanging board, top table, and office barrier.

Key Features of Innovative Stone

1. Curved Forming Ability
The standout feature is its ability to form curves, adding a soft and dimensional touch to design work. This material is not only suitable for countertop fabrication but can also be used to wrap around columns. Each series has different bending capabilities — for example, Acrylic series can be curved at a radius of 300 mm (30 cm) or more.
2. Translucency
This feature allows designers to integrate indirect lighting into their spaces by using reflective or hidden lighting sources, reducing the need for ceiling fixtures. Lighter colors, such as white, tend to be more translucent. The Translucent Series is specifically developed for this purpose, allowing both mineral and stone flakes to transmit light uniformly across the entire sheet.
3. High Durability
Despite being an innovative material, this stone is stronger than natural stone, offering greater impact resistance.
4. Stain Resistance
Resistant to stains and certain chemicals such as tea, coffee, and fish sauce.
5. Heat Resistance
Highly heat resistant, making it suitable for kitchen applications, including use as cooktop surfaces.
6. Non-Porous Surface
With no pores or air pockets, the material prevents mold growth, musty odors, and bacterial contamination. Its solid structure makes it ideal for use in food preparation areas and healthcare facilities.
7. Bathroom Compatibility
Its non-porous quality ensures mold resistance, making it safe for bathroom use.
8. Health and Eco-Friendly
Safe for human health and environmentally friendly — suitable for use in hospitals and food-preparation zones.
9. Seamless Appearance
Very minimal joints — almost invisible — which is perfect for large surfaces such as long countertops or wide panels.

Reason to use solid surface
– A colorful and consistent pattern
– More available selection varieties than the natural stone
– Easy for cleaning, maintenance, and modification
– Strains and a certain type of chemical resistant
– Has no air bubbles, resist to mold and odor.
– Can be curve cutting with the diameter larger than 30 cm
– Meet the various designing requirement

Quartz
Quartz stone is an artificial stone produced from the using of advanced technology. It consists of natural quartz mineral from Italy 93% mixed with resin (Polyester Resin) and pigments at about 7%. The ingredients are loaded into the high-pressure compressor at a high temperature which produces blocks which can be cut as required later. Due to its durability, beauty and safe for health, not water absorbing and easy for maintenance, this kind of finishing material is good for application in a residential area, inside the buildings including the wall, kitchen, receptionist counter, bathroom counter, especially the area that required high durability surface

Reason to use Quartz
– No spongy on the surface. It’s not leave a stain.
– Stronger than ordinary stone. Not easily to fragile, reducing a damage and defend the growth of bacteria and fungus infiltrating.
– easily cleaning and maintenance
– resistance to scratch. Can be used for making table top, kitchen top, counter tops for frequent scratching areas.
– stain such as tea, coffee, sauce fish sauce, etc. and some chemicals resistance
– able to use for indoor and outdoor.
– able to use in hospital and cooking area.

Key Features of Quartz Stone

1. Easy Maintenance
Quartz surfaces are easy to clean with regular cleaning methods. They are ideal for bathrooms as the material is non-porous, preventing mold growth.
2. Non-Porous Surface
Its non-porous surface means it doesn’t retain deep stains or harbor bacteria, mold, or unpleasant odors.
3. Safe and Eco-Friendly
Quartz is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, making it suitable for hospitals and food-safe environments.
4. Exceptional Scratch Resistance
One of its most notable highlights is its high resistance to scratches, making it ideal for tabletops, kitchen counters, and areas with frequent abrasion.
5. Superior Strength
Stronger than natural stone and less prone to cracking or breaking under heavy usage. According to the Mohs Hardness Scale, while diamonds rate at 10, SANTONITE’s solid-colored quartz ranges between 6–7.
6. Antibacterial Properties
Helps prevent the growth of bacteria and mold from penetrating the surface.
7. Heat Resistance up to 180°C
Can withstand temperatures up to 180°C, making it suitable for use on kitchen countertops and cooktops.
8. Perfect for Thai Kitchens
Especially well-suited for Thai kitchens, which typically involve more intense cooking activities like pounding or chopping compared to Western kitchens.

*Composed of 93% natural quartz, the color variations of the quartz grains may differ slightly depending on the source and production batch. These natural differences enhance the unique characteristics of quartz stone, maintaining its inherent beauty and distinctive appeal
