Patent ID: 10227782

Abstract:
Pre-fabricated, custom pre-designed, high-density engineered solid surface products, including countertops and other architectural surfaces such as vertical wall surfaces and decorative panels and a method of manufacture of unitary custom-fit interior and exterior engineered solid surface products that are stain resistant, moisture impervious, UV resistant, acid resistant, dimensionally stable, abrasion and impact resistant, and are glazed to produce unique decorative and utilitarian surfaces in a wide range of colors and textures, including artistic, one-of-a-kind works. The glaze surface includes exterior vertical edges on countertops and back-splashes that are continuous with the top surface color and design. Optional flaming (open flame treatment or “flame painting”) or texturing of the post-glazed surface produces in a wide range of finishes, including a leather-look finish for crazed glazes. The invention includes custom-glazed monolithic engineered solid surface products that do not require site cutting, as a result of the inventive process.
