Velstone Solid Surface: The Hybrid That Balances Strength and Style
When it comes to Solid Surface materials, Velstone Solid Surface material is a trusted name that blends the best of both worlds, acrylic and polyester. This hybrid composition gives it a unique balance of durability, workability, and value, making it a versatile option for a wide range of commercial interiors.
At BSF Solid Surfaces Ltd, we’ve used Velstone for years on projects ranging from sleek wash troughs and vanity tops to reception desks, countertops, and bespoke furniture. It’s dependable, good-looking, and performs beautifully in busy environments where hygiene and appearance both matter.
What Is Velstone Solid Surface Material?
Velstone is a hybrid Solid Surface, combining the structure and flexibility of acrylic with the rich visual depth of polyester. The result is a smooth, seamless material that can be cut, joined, shaped, and repaired with ease, making it ideal for long runs of worktops, curved forms, or integrated sinks.
Velstone is a high-quality and well-respected Solid Surface known for its durability and ease of fabrication.
If you’d like to understand more about the wider material family, take a look at our article on What Is Solid Surface, which explains how these materials differ from quartz, laminate, and stone.
Key Benefits of Velstone
Hybrid formulation combining the flexibility of acrylic with the colour richness of polyester
Seamless joints that create a continuous, fluid appearance across large installations
Hygienic and non-porous surface that resists bacteria, mould, and stains
Repairable and renewable finish that can be sanded and refinished to extend its life
Wide colour range offering classic and contemporary shades to suit every scheme
Why We Recommend Velstone
Velstone Solid Surface material strikes the perfect balance between design freedom and practical performance. Its hybrid structure makes it slightly more rigid than a pure acrylic, yet smoother and easier to machine than many polyester only surfaces.
For specifiers, that means reliability and choice. For fabricators, it means consistent quality and a smooth finish every time. It’s particularly suited to commercial, healthcare, and office interiors, where durability and hygiene are top priorities.

Sustainability and Longevity
Velstone’s renewable nature means it can be refinished rather than replaced, helping to reduce waste and extend its lifecycle. At BSF, we always promote sustainable Solid Surface options that deliver long-term performance and align with clients’ environmental goals.
