Thermoforming - The Future of Fabrication

Thermoforming is an innovative process that involves heating materials until they become flexible, then shaping them into specific forms using molds or pressure. Once the material cools, it retains its new shape, allowing for custom designs that remain durable over time. The heating temperature and duration depend on the type of material and the desired shape of the final product.

At Skyline Tile & Marble, we specialize in thermoforming quartz and solid surfaces.

Benefits of Thermoforming

There are a number of reasons you might want to invest in thermoformed surfaces from Skyline Tile & Marble, including:

Design Flexibility

Thermoforming allows for the creation of complex, three-dimensional shapes and curves that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with other materials. This flexibility enables unique and custom designs.

Seamless Joints

Solid surface materials can be seamlessly joined during the thermoforming process, creating a smooth, continuous appearance. This is particularly beneficial for countertops and other large surfaces where a seamless look is desired.

Wide Range of Colors and Patterns

Thermoforming solid surfaces can incorporate a variety of colors and patterns, allowing for a wide range of aesthetic options to match any design preference.

Frequently Asked Questions About Thermoforming

Thermoforming is an advanced process that involves heating a stone material sheet until it becomes pliable and shaping it using molds or pressure into a specific form. Once cooled, the material retains its new shape, allowing for customized designs that maintain their integrity over time. We utilize the thermoforming process here at Skyline Tile & Marble to create a variety of custom furniture pieces.

There are many advantages to the thermoforming process, such as its speed, versatility, and design flexibility.

Thermoforming can be used to create a wide variety of products. Here at Skyline Tile and Marble, we use it as part of our slab fabrication process to create custom furniture pieces such as desks, coffee tables, conference tables, chairs, benches, and more.

The cost of thermoforming heavily depends on the material and design complexity. Please call 425-485-2000 or email info@skylinetile.com, and our project planner will connect you with one of our estimators.

Skyline was great to work with and our new kitchen countertops turned out amazing. When we had an issue related to one of our cabinets, they had someone onsite asap to make adjustments to the countertops. I'd definitely work with them again.

Reporting total delight and awestruck amazement at Skyline's ability to work with customers, apply wisdom and skills to translate complicated requirements into perfectly cut and assembled material, all remarkably affordably.We needed to replace a failing Corian galley counter top on a sailboat. Boats are extremely unforgiving when it comes to repairs of this kind, given that pieces such as this counter top abut structural and other parts that cannot be eased or moved.This particular piece of work is quite complicated, with numerous angles and apertures needing _exact_ fit. As well, we did some some modifications to the original design based on experience with using the galley, replacing the original wood "fiddle" with the same material as used for the counter itself and changing the inadequate original refrigerator lid hinges to more robust "piano" or continuous hinges. Also there was quite a bit of associated plumbing fixtures and other hardware needing to be reintegrated to the new work surface.Finally, this work _had_ to be done on schedule as the boat has guest crews booked a year in advance and absolutely had to be ready for service on a firm date.Ben and Brandon at Skyline _really_ leaned into the project, fully engaged themselves in making this heavy lift possible. I'm older than I care to admit and I can't think of another better example of collaboration with a customer in my experience.Due to the boat's location it was not possible for Skyline to directly visit the job site to do take-off etc. Instead, Skyline produced a full fidelity plywood template we able able to take to the boat to check fit, mark up as required for tweaks.All this with amazing patience, given the necessary amount of discussion and communications needed in order to get set up correctly before doing any cutting.The upshot: perfection. The counter dropped into its intricate nesting place and despite all the numerous intersections with various bits of the boat, it fit perfectly.We're completely delighted with Skyline Marble and Tile. Cannot recommend them too highly. Permanent addition to charter fleet Rolodex. :-)Photo shows finished project.
