My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Hello,

    The white solid surface counter top is completely white without any patterns. It is made out of solid surface material (38% polyester resin and 40% aluminum hydroxide powder). Solid-surface counter tops are highly resistant to mold or mildew, as the nonporous, hypoallergenic surface virtually eliminates the growth medium of these organisms.

    When it comes to maintenance, solid-surface counter tops are extremely easy to clean and the surface is highly resistant to staining, cracking and chipping, as well.
