Wilsonart Launches 2013 Solid Surface Collection, Inspired by Cityscapes

TEMPLE, Texas, Aug. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --The rich textures, surfaces and sparkle of the urban landscape inspire seven new Wilsonart^® Solid Surface designs. The Cityscape Collection's new patterns add drama and elegance to both residential and commercial spaces in a way that is distinctly fresh, contemporary and on-trend. An affordable alternative to granite and other stone surfaces, this seamless and sparkling surfacing material is sprinkled with quartz-like translucent or glittery chips, and can easily play a starring role in your room or serve as a distant skyline in the cityscape of your classically designed or modernistic space.

Wilsonart Solid Surface is naturally resistant to fade, heat, mold, mildew and most stains, and is renewable and repairable. Solid Surface complies with FDA food contact requirements, and is safe for food contact and preparation; plus, sinks can be built directly into the countertop, making clean-up a breeze.

"Our latest introductions to the Wilsonart Solid Surface Collection incorporate some sleek and versatile designs that pair well with virtually any material in an interior space," notes Natalia Smith, senior product designer for Wilsonart. "Whether being used in the home or in a commercial space, these surfaces are not only beautiful and seamless, but are durable, renewable and meet stringent indoor air quality standards."

Four trends fueled the inspiration for the Cityscape designs of the 2013 collection:

• Industrial Chic: Building on history by saving original elements like exposed brick and wood floors, and allowing those features to be the backdrop to the design.
• Rustic Glam: Fun contrasting ideas of time worn elements working together with sparkle.
• Classic Revival: Black and white - it's never going out of style!
• Graphics: Punches of color, typography and geometries - they're everywhere; you just have to look for them.

All eight introductions, including Cityscape designs Garnet Glitz, Gold Glitz, Night Stars, Clouded, Paris Fog, Chipped Chocolate and Maple Harvest, and classic white offering Avalanche Melange, are designed to complement a range of materials: wood, metal, glass and laminate. The flowing surface and soft colors make them the perfect backdrop for sleek and modern accessories in contemporary spaces.

Wilsonart Solid Surface is backed by a 10-year manufacturer's warranty and is available at kitchen and bath dealers, home centers and local fabricators nationwide.
