Customstone Solid Surface

Introducing Customstone, the afforable, densified solid surface material manufactured exclusively by Custom Quality Marble in Austin, Texas. You've probably heard of Corian, but don't be fooled in to thinking you must pay more for national brands to get quality. Customstone has been certified by the Universal Laboratory, Inc. and has set its own track record for quality performance and durability since it was first introduced in 1989.

But first, a little history: during the late 1960s, DuPont discovered a way to blend natural minerals with acrylic resin to create an ideal surface for living. The result was an unique product known Corian, a "solid surface" that is nonporous, renewable and repairable. Similar to Corian, Customstone was developed by Custom Quality Marble in 1989 to further enhance what Corian has to offer, but at a more affordable price. Customstone is 100% solid and nonporous. Its color goes all the way through. If the surface is damaged, there’s plenty more renewable material underneath. Customstonesurfaces have virtually inconspicuous seams, plus no voids or pores like tile, wood, granite or marble, so bacteria and mold have nowhere to take root. When Customstone looks clean, it really is clean. Customstonealso keeps its good looks longer. Impacts that can ruin porcelain, ceramic tile or cultured marble just don’t faze Customstone. Because the solid beauty of Customstone goes all the way through, Customstone surfaces are completely renewable, usually with ordinary abrasive cleaners and a green Scotch-Brite pad.

Customstone ADVANTAGES:

1. No Sheet, No Waste, Less Seams.
Unlike Corian, Wilsonart Gibraltar, and Avonite which are manufactured in sheets, then cut and glued together to form the necessary shapes and sizes containing many seams, Customstone is poured into molds to fit each individual design. Waste is minimized so you don’t end up paying for the trim waste from prefabricated sheets.


2. 7/8” Thick vs. 1/2” Thick.
Every Customstone kitchen countertop comes in 7/8 inch standard thickness versus the standard 1/2 inch thick sheet that other “name” brands offer. Heavy objects can be supported with more confidence on 7/8 inch think material. In addition to the improved wearability, due to Customstone’s 75% higher thickness, NO reinforcement will be needed under the counters, on cabinets or around an under-mounted sink.

3. Choose from over 70 solid, texture and granite colors.
Custom Quality Marble can also match most of the popular Corian colors and add decorative drop edges or inlays to accent your most unique design.

 

Did you know...over $4,500,000 worth of Customstone kitchen countertops and bathroom vanity tops have been sold in the Austin and surrounding area since 1989.
