Solid Surface Casting
The Benefits of Solid Surface Casting in Modern Manufacturing
Solid surface casting is a manufacturing process that creates seamless, non-porous surfaces by combining polyester resins with natural mineral fillers and pigments.
This technique is widely used to produce baths, sinks, anti vandal sanitary-ware and various architectural elements.
Its unique properties offer numerous advantages, making it a preferred choice in both residential and commercial settings.
1. Durability and Longevity:
Solid surface materials are renowned for their durability. They resist scratches, stains, and impacts, ensuring that products maintain their appearance and functionality over time. This resilience makes them suitable for high-traffic areas and demanding environments.
2. Design Flexibility:
The malleability of solid surface materials allows for a wide range of design possibilities. They can be thermoformed into various shapes, accommodating custom designs and intricate details. Additionally, a vast array of colors and patterns are available, enabling designers to achieve specific aesthetic goals.
3. Non-Porous and Hygienic:
Solid surfaces are non-porous, meaning they do not absorb liquids or harbor bacteria. This property makes them ideal for applications where hygiene is paramount, such as kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, and healthcare facilities.
4. Low Maintenance:
The non-porous nature of solid surface materials ensures they are easy to clean and maintain. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is typically sufficient to keep them looking new. Unlike natural stone, they do not require periodic sealing, reducing maintenance efforts and costs.
5. Repairable and Renewable:
Solid surface materials can be repaired if damaged. Scratches and minor damages can often be sanded out, restoring the surface to its original condition. This renewability extends the product’s lifespan and reduces the need for replacements.
6. Environmental Considerations:
Many solid surface products incorporate recycled materials, contributing to environmental sustainability. Additionally, their durability and renewability mean fewer replacements and less waste over time. Lamplas also employ eco-friendly production methods, further reducing the environmental impact.
Applications of Solid Surface Casting:
Residential: Baths, kitchen worktops, bathroom vanities, and integrated sinks.
Commercial: Reception desks, retail displays, and restaurant tables.
Healthcare: Laboratory countertops, hospital surfaces, and sanitary-ware facilities.
Hospitality: Bar tops, hotel room vanities, and decorative wall panels.
Conclusion
Solid surface casting offers a versatile and durable solution for various applications, combining aesthetic appeal with practical benefits. Its seamless appearance, design flexibility, and low maintenance requirements make it an attractive choice for designers, architects, and homeowners alike. Whether for residential kitchens or commercial installations, solid surface materials provide a reliable and enduring option in modern manufacturing.

if you have any questions.
Lead time will vary due to the size of the part or complexity.
We would normally say 8-12 weeks, which will allow for completion of master patterns, mould tool manufacture and 1st prototype sign off.
Not necessarily, its possible that we can take an existing part and reverse engineer, cutting out the need to produce a master.
We can help by using stage payments, we can invoice once the pattern is made, then again once the mould tool is complete, so it’s spread out over 2-3 month depending on the time scale.
We can initially set up a Teams meeting to introduce each other and discuss the project. Alternatively we can visit your premises to discuss or you can visit our factory.
