Manufacturers of Solid Surface worktops each have their own specific features for their products, but the choice is usually between a thin Solid Surface sheet bonded to a particle board core making a worktop of around 40mm - 45mm thickness or a thicker self-supporting sheet material with no substrate producing a sleek 25mm worktop.
Encore by Bushboard Ltd. consists of a 5mm layer of solid surface on a 38mm chipboard core with a 1mm laminate backing making a 44m thick worktop.
