Solid surface: tips for interior design

[News and social media for high-end joinery Kirolite]

Some ideas for using solid surface material in commercial, retail, hospitality and high-end residential interiors…

Interior designers and architects use solid surface as a material that can bring their design ideas into reality in ways that other materials cannot do. You can customise surfaces, virtually without creative limit. These materials feel great, have fantastic colours, can be translucent and shaped to almost any design. Here are some simple tips for you…

Combining materials produces wonderful results and solid surface sits well with them all, especially wood, metal, natural stone and glass.

You can have intricate designs carved using CNC, or moulded to produce raised patterns and textures.

Solid surface comes in pretty much any colour/hue/shade you want. Some come with great effects: vein, translucent, metallic fleck, or grain.

Want curves? No problem… these surfaces can be formed into any curved shape, or given perfect rounded edges. Or keep to straight lines… or mix it up, your choice.

Light with translucent solid surface produces a very special luminosity. Illuminated logos, subdued lighting effects, eye-catching glowing surfaces… all are in your grasp.

And when you want an imposing, classic look, like stone or marble – use it big and solid surface is amazing for walls and pillars. Being virtually seamless, solid surface creates a wall cladding upon which you can create amazing forms and designs.

Kirolite’s solid surface fabrication facility is one of the largest in the south of England. You’d be most welcome to come and see for yourself… maybe it will spark off some creative ideas for your next interior project?
