Seams

Solid Surface
Consistency of pattern and color, plus chemical bonding to fuse solid surface pieces provide very inconspicuous seams. Seams are solid, flush to the surface and moisture resistant. There is no grout to clean, and liquids cannot penetrate the surface.

Granite
Granite slabs vary in thickness and appearance. This results in visible and sometimes uneven seams at corners and backsplash areas. The random, inconsistent appearance of granite further accentuates the seams where separate granite surfaces are combined. The seams are not chemically bonded, so they can become stained and dirty with time unless they are properly and routinely sealed.
