How a solid surface vanity top is made
How a made-to-measure vanity top is made, from the configurator to delivery. A CNC machine cuts the outline straight from your configuration, the basin is formed from the same solid surface and bonded to the top without a visible joint, and every top is sanded and polished by hand in our factory in Latvia.

0:00 Why made to measure
Why a vanity top made to measure? It fits your space exactly, in the shape and colour you choose. And instead of searching shop after shop, you design it yourself.
0:17 The material: solid surface
It’s made of solid surface, like Corian®: non-porous, seamless and repairable, used everywhere from bathrooms to reception desks.
0:27 Designed in the configurator
Every top starts in the KORTE.design configurator. You set the size, the sink, the edges and the colour, see the price straight away, and check it in your own bathroom, in AR.
0:45 CNC cutting in our factory
Then production begins. We’ve worked with solid surface since 1994, and today we make every top in our 1,200 m² factory. The CNC machine cuts the outline straight from your configuration, to within ±1 mm.
1:01 Forming the basin and bonding it
The basin is formed from the same solid surface: heated, pressed into a mould, and left to cool into shape. Meanwhile, the edges of the top are machined, so the joints disappear once it’s bonded. Glued together, top and basin become one seamless piece.
1:19 Sanding, polishing and delivery
Sanding and polishing are still done by hand. A dark powder reveals even the finest scratch, until none is left. Then it’s packed for insured delivery, ready to install.
