| Hotels, resorts, restaurants, and elite kitchens have been utilizing the innovative design of Avonite surfaces since 1983. Over the years, rich collections have been inspired by glass, concrete, precious metals, and other natural materials. New product benchmarks, including realistic textures, and recycled products have become international favorites in leading hotels, resorts, specialty restaurants, and unique corporate environments. Today, Avonite surfaces are well known for distinctly original residential projects. These Avonite Surfaces were once the secret of professional designers, but are now available to homeowners around the world searching for a unique touch of elegance. Avonite surfaces can be easily machined with ordinary wood working tools. | ||
