At Rheaco, Inc. we offer both Plastic Laminate and Solid Surface countertops. There are well over 1,000 different colors and patterns to choose from. There are also different edges for both types of countertops.


Plastic laminate tops can have a Self-Edge which is a 90° edge. Bevel-Edge is another option that offers a 45° bevel for a more expensive look. Wood-Edge can be applied to a countertop. Different types of wood can be applied such as maple, cherry, mahogany or walnut. In addition there are a few different profiles that can be routed into the wood. Finally rubber Tee Molding can be applied to a countertop. This is typically used more in commercial settings. Plastic laminate backsplashes are typically 4" tall, however they can be made shorter or taller depending on the application. Below are some pictures of the different edges of countertops (click to see a front view):

Solid Surface countertops can have many different edges. Below you can see 7 different shapes that can be routed into the edge of your solid surface top. Solid surface countertops also offer the unique feature of a bonded-bowl. The bonded sink is also made of solid surfaces and is integrated into the countertop for a seamless look. Solid Surface backsplashes are typically 2⅞" tall.
