1. Function First, Always

When we begin a project, our first question isn’t “what looks good?” — it’s “what will this surface endure?” Whether it's a hotel reception desk or a bathroom vanity, understanding usage and stress points helps determine the right material — be it solid surface, marble, quartz, or compact laminate. Form follows function, always.

2. Material Science Matters

After three decades in the field, I’ve seen how surface materials evolve. Some that looked great on day one turned dull or cracked after just a year. At Snap, we rely on tested, certified brands — like LG Hausys Solid Surface — because the chemistry behind a surface matters just as much as its look. Resistance to stains, UV, and thermal shock are non-negotiables.

3. Seamless Integration with Design

A surface is never “just a surface.” It's part of the language of the entire space. That means we obsess over edges, joints, curves, and how light plays off each texture. A matte solid surface in a minimalist clinic. A high-gloss marble in a luxury retail store. The surface must speak the same language as the rest of the design.

4. Maintenance & Hygiene

Especially after 2020, hygiene is no longer optional. Surfaces in medical, hospitality, and even residential spaces must be easy to clean, non-porous, and preferably antimicrobial. That’s why we often recommend solid surfaces for hospitals and commercial kitchens — they look sleek, but more importantly, they protect the people using them.

5. Innovation & Customization

Modern solid surfaces can be backlit, thermoformed, engraved, and even 3D printed. This opens a whole new world for designers. At Snap, we embrace these possibilities — turning a simple reception counter into a statement piece, or a hospital wall into an organic, flowing design. Custom doesn’t mean expensive; it means intentional.
