By exploiting the unique characteristics of Krion® or Corian® brand solid surface, designers and architects are reinventing architecture and coming up with more and more interesting ideas. The combination of wood and solid surface is one of them. Wood is so versatile and natural that it has been used for years in all possible forms. Let's find out why and how this new trendy material combines perfectly with wood.
Organic and sinuous curves
For years, wood has made it possible to design and manufacture objects and furniture with a very dynamic style and unique curves. Solid surface can also take on many different shapes and adapt to those of wood as it softens under the effect of heat. Furthermore, because solid surface is processed in the same way as wood, it is possible to achieve perfectly rounded edges and thus create innovative solutions for unmistakable designs.
Texture and light
Wood is carved to give it texture and pattern, and in the solid surface it is also possible to do this. Corian® and Krion® can be engraved with a numerical control to create precise patterns or texture on the solid surface. These technological processes make it possible to combine wood and solid surface to create unparalleled decorations, mouldings or textures.
By adding light, it is also possible to create a supernatural aesthetic, imagine a table made of wood and solid surface that lets light pass through it. Solid surfaced and translucent colours are available in different sizes and thicknesses to offer more possibilities.

Unlimited choice of colours
As mentioned before, solid surface comes in many colours, from bright, solid colours to neutral, pastel and unique whites and blacks. Like wood, it is not enough to choose the material, there are many variations that can give a totally different style depending on the species chosen.
Wooden architecture / solid surface
There is no need to remind how wood has been used in architecture for centuries. In interior and exterior architecture, wood is a must to give a warm and ecological look. Despite this, exterior architecture made of wood can quickly look old, which is why, in combination with Corian® or Krion®, it is possible to transform your interior or exterior. With no discernible joints, it will create a subtle blank canvas look that will suit any environment.
For outdoor use, the solid surface is exceptionally resistant to UV, moisture and adverse weather conditions.

Environmentally friendly materials
Ecological building materials have become indispensable in recent years. At the heart of designers' and planners' choices. When they design and build projects, they know that their choices can help protect our environment. This is why these professionals are constantly looking for new materials and especially materials that combine perfectly. The combination of wood and solid surface is an excellent combination, because wood, when used with respect, is an ecological material par excellence. Krion® and Corian® solid surface are materials that also fit perfectly into the criteria, 100% recyclable and sustainable. There are also many advantages for the home and the environment, such as the contribution to the improvement of the indoor air, the minimal use of chemicals as it is very easy to maintain and of course its composition which does not contain chemicals that are harmful to our planet.
The combination of wood and solid surface
To detail the associations between wood and solid surface, let's start with the simple piece of furniture with its basin top. The perfect combination of warmth and modernity, there are many different shapes and colours of wooden furniture that will bring that warmth. Then for the modern look what better than a Krion® or white Corian® basin top, double or single basin, with a countertop or thermoformed basin, the choice is unlimited.
Not surprisingly, the furniture has of course been revisited with these two extraordinary materials. Tables, chairs, stools, kitchen bars, everything is possible.
To mention some very surprising creations that combine solid surface and wood, we can highlight a slide made of solid surface V-korr that is glued to a wooden staircase. The design is splendid and the combination of materials would make us say that it could be a work of art.
