Frequently Asked Questions Velstone

What exactly is Velstone made of?
Velstone is a highly durable Solid Surface material manufactured from a natural mineral (Aluminium Hydroxide) that is bonded together using a unique blend of acrylic and polyester resins. It is coloured using natural pigments that are completely free from heavy metals and carcinogenic attributes
How do I clean my Velstone worktop day-to-day?
For everyday cleaning, simply wipe the surface down with warm soapy water or a standard domestic, non-bleach cleaner. For the best results, specialist products containing citric or oxalic acid—both Bar Keepers Friend or Unika Solid Surface Worktop Cleaner—are highly recommended to maintain the finish.
Is Velstone a hygienic choice for kitchens and healthcare environments?
Yes, absolutely. Velstone is 100% non-porous and features completely seamless joints, meaning it effectively resists moisture, deep stains, and bacterial growth. Because of these exceptional sanitary properties, it has been awarded the Royal Institute of Health and Hygiene Certificate every year since 1994.
What happens if I accidentally scratch or burn the surface?
One of Velstone’s greatest benefits is that it is fully repairable. Minor cuts, superficial scratches, or burn marks on matt finishes can be easily buffed out at home using a Scotch-Brite pad and a mild abrasive cleaner. Even deep chemical damage or severe scratches can be entirely restored by sanding the surface down.
How long will a Velstone installation last?
Velstone is designed for decades of service and will easily outlast conventional laminate or wood worktops. Because it can be continuously repaired and renewed to look brand new, its functional lifespan is significantly extended, and it comes backed by a 10-year warranty.
Is Velstone an environmentally friendly option?
Yes, it is highly sustainable. Its long lifespan and repairability mean it rarely needs replacing, which drastically reduces landfill waste over time. Additionally, during manufacturing, 90% of factory-rejected sheets and off-cuts are ground down and recycled directly back into the production process
Can Velstone withstand high heat and fire?
Velstone handles everyday heat exceptionally well, with boiling water having no effect on the material. Furthermore, it is one of the very few solid surface brands to achieve both Class 0 and Class 1 UK Fire Ratings, making it incredibly safe for both residential and commercial buildings. Always remember to use a trivet for hot pans to protect the surface from extreme, direct heat.
