Avonite Surfaces

www.avonitesurfaces.com

Since 1983, Anonite Surfaces have been a pioneer in solid surfacing, known for their unbridled passion and spirited innovations.

Over the years, they have established new product benchmarks, including realistic textures, recycled products, and rich collections inspired by glass, concrete, precious metals, and other natural materials.

COMPOSITION & MATERIALS
Avonite Surfaces is a patented, non-porous homogenous blend of either polyester or acrylic alloys and fillers. This creates a surfacing material that looks like stone but cuts like wood. The grain pattern goes all the way through which allows for three dimensional shaping.





C/T/T/P

Avonite surfaces are available in many colours, from natural minerals, to metallics. A complete selection of granite, gemstone, crystelles, glass and architectural solids are available. Many of the materials are recycled. See below-





Uses


Their surfaces have become international favorites in leading hotels, resorts, specialty restaurants, and unique corporate environments. They're equally well known for distinctly personal residential projects. Because the material can be worked with conventional wood- working power tools, the design possibilities are unlimited. Countertops, wall cladding, furniture, mouldings, architectural signage and accessories can be beautifully created with a guarantee of durability.


LIMITATIONS
Many Avonite Surfaces products are suitable for exterior use. Contact Technical Services regarding limitations and approvals for exterior applications. Do not use in areas exposed to sustained temperatures in excess of 375°F (CI) or 260°F (CIII).
