Composition & Materials

Terreon® is a non-porous, densified surface solid surface material. It is made from a blend of acrylic modified polyester resin with UV stabilizer, alumina tri-hydrate and mineral fillers. Terreon is bound by a two-step catalyst that elevates the set-up temperature to 230º F. These factors make Terreon stronger than ordinary "all acrylic" solid surfaces.

Unlike other solid surface manufacturers, Bradley products are molded and/or pre-fabricated at the factory, shipped directly to any jobsite worldwide and plumber installed.

Installation

Be sure to always verify that fixtures comply with design intent and local plumbing codes prior to installation. Once verified, Bradley recommends leaving the product stored in the original protective packaging until the time of installation when rough-ins and final fixture locations have been determined. Terreon® products can be installed in several ways. In most cases, appropriate backing and wall anchors withstanding 1000 pounds of pullout force are required. Complete installation instructions are available from your local Bradley Representative.
