SOLID SURFACE
UPDATE
Avonite
Avonite was the second solid-surfacing product to come
on the market, and is available in 45 styles, including 16
Granites, 13 Crystelles, 10 Formstones, and 6 Gemstones.
Avonite is the only company that offers a choice of
material composition. The company's Advantage series is
manufactured from a mineral-filled (aluminum trihydrate)
polyester base and has a Class-1 flame-spread rating. The
Decor series is made from an unfilled polyester and has one
of the deepest translucent looks on the market. This series
is not as hard as the other products, and should not be used
in "high wear" areas. Its Class-3 flame-spread rating may
restrict its use in some commercial applications.
