Explore new possibilities in bathroom design with our Baustone® Solid Surface stone resin. This innovative material has been specifically formulated for high-pressure injection moulding, unlocking endless creative possibilities with unique forms and three-dimensional surface patterns.
Our product images showcase the lasting brilliance and durability of Baustone® Solid Surface versus typical cheaper gel-coated stone resin alternatives. Images are for illustrative purposes only.
Solid surface as a material category exists because of one company. DuPont™ invented Corian® in the 1960s and patented it - for decades, if you wanted products manufactured from solid surface stone resin composites, you bought Corian®, at Corian's price.
In 1987, that patent expired. Since then, manufacturers across the world have developed their own solid surface formulations - different resin blends, different mineral fill ratios, different manufacturing processes, all built on the same basic principle Corian® proved: a non-porous, seamless, repairable surface that outperforms laminate and undercuts natural stone on maintenance.
Baustone® is our version of that development. Formulated and manufactured to our own specification, it's a solid surface built specifically for BAULANE vanities, baths, basins, and countertops - non-porous, seamless, resistant to staining and moisture, and backed by our lifetime guarantee on the material itself.
Baustone® Solid Surface is a blend of natural mineral fill and high-grade acrylic resin, cast under controlled heat and pressure. The mineral content - predominantly aluminium trihydrate, the same fire-retardant, load-bearing mineral used across the solid surface industry - is what gives Baustone® its density and strength, well beyond what resin alone could achieve.
Each piece is cast as a single, seamless surface - no joins, no grout lines, nowhere for water or bacteria to sit. After casting, every basin and vanity top is cured, then hand-sanded through multiple grits to bring out a soft, consistent matte finish. It's a slower process than moulding and spraying a synthetic composite, but it's what gives Baustone® its weight and finish quality.
The result is non-porous, stain-resistant, and naturally hygienic - nothing to seal, nothing to reseal. Surface scratches, unlike on stone or ceramic, can be sanded out rather than lived with. It's a material built to be used, not just looked at.
TrueWhite™ is the first colourway in the Baustone® range - a clean, consistent white finish with none of the veining, mineral flecking, or tonal variation you get in natural stone or engineered composites. It's the flagship finish for Baustone® Solid Surface countertops and stone resin baths, and it's the one currently carrying the lifetime guarantee (product only, excluding labour and reinstallation).
Corian® pioneered solid surface and remains the best-known name in the category - for good reason. Its patent expiring is what allowed the wider solid surface market, including Baustone®, to exist at all.
What's changed since is manufacturing, not the underlying principle. Most solid surfaces today - Corian® included - share the same basic composition: a mineral-filled acrylic or polyester resin, cast and cured into a non-porous surface. The differences between brands come down to mineral ratio, resin quality, and finishing process - not a fundamentally different material.
Baustone® is formulated and manufactured to our own specification, developed specifically for the demands of vanity units, basins, and baths rather than adapted from a general-purpose sheet material. It shares the core properties the category is known for - non-porous, stain-resistant, seamless, repairable - and is backed by our own lifetime guarantee on the material.
We don't position Baustone® as "better than Corian®." We position it as ours: developed for BAULANE products, sold direct, without the distributor markup that Corian® based products typically carry by the time they reach a showroom floor.
These terms get used interchangeably across the bathroom industry. They're not quite the same thing.
Solid surface is the broadest category - a non-porous material that's solid all the way through, not just coated or laminated on top. Colour and pattern run through the full thickness. It's typically a mineral-filled resin, and it's the category Corian made famous.
Stone resin is a solid surface with a higher ratio of natural mineral to resin. That higher mineral content is what gives baths and basins their weight, their heat retention - water stays warmer for longer - and the solid, stone-like feel when you tap the surface.
Stone composite is a broader term, often used for materials with a different construction - crushed quartz bound with resin, for example, which behaves more like engineered stone than true solid surface, or products that aren't solid through their full thickness.
Baustone® is a solid surface material. For our baths and basins, its mineral content places it firmly in stone resin territory too - which is why you'll see both terms used across our product pages, depending on the piece.
Gel-coat is a common, lower-cost way to finish baths - a thin resin coating sprayed onto a mould (usually over fibreglass or acrylic) to create a glossy surface layer. It's not a solid material; it's a coating, typically 0.5–1mm thick, sitting on top of a different substrate underneath.
Baustone® is solid all the way through. There's no coating to wear, chip, or separate from a base layer - what you see on the surface is the same material all the way through the piece. This is why our baths are more expensive than cheaper competitors - because we invest more into our manufacturing from the highest-grade mineral composites, and why we can confidently classify our products as 'hotel-grade'.
That difference matters most over time and after damage:
Gel-coat isn't a bad material - it's why lower-cost baths can be made affordably. But it's a coating, not a solid material, and that's the core distinction worth understanding before you choose between our products, or our competitors.
