Epoxy is the newest cutting edge solid surface product on the market.  Now you can get a traditional natural stone look or a totally customized look for your countertops, bath surrounds, furniture, and floors.  Here is a list of  reasons that epoxy is better than traditionally materials.

Renewable

Epoxy is the only solid surface that is renewable.  All natural and man made products pick up micro abrasions over the years which causes the surface to loose its brand new luster.  All of these can be “fixed”.  However to repair these abrasions on granite or marble it would cost almost as much as replacing the countertop with new stone.  Epoxy is the only product that can be “renewed” with minimum effort and cost.

Durability

Epoxy is more durable than any product on the market and will stand up to a beating.  It will also stand up to heat.  You can place a 500 degree pan on epoxy countertops without fear of the surface being damaged.  Doing this to quartz or Corian countertops will melt the counter and a blast of intense heat can shock granite and cause it to crack.

Cost

Quartz; a man-made solid surface is one of the most popular solid surface materials used today.  Quartz starts at $70 per square foot.

Natural stones like granite typically starts at $50 per square foot.  You could pay over $200 per square foot for marble, quartzite, or onyx.

All of these are more expensive than epoxy.  Take a look HERE to see the comparison between them all.
