Solid surface products

A flat non-porous unitary solid surface structure is formed. A texture is imparted to a first flat non-porous unitary thermoplastic polymeric sheet having first and second planar aspects, the texture is imparted to the first planar aspect. A decorative material is arranged on the first planar aspect. A second flat non-porous unitary thermoplastic polymeric sheet is placed in contact with the decorative material in opposition with the first planar aspect; whereby a lay-up sandwich is formed. A predetermined amount of heat and pressure is applied by contact with cauls of a press to the lay-up sandwich for a predetermined period of time. Opening the press allows air and gases to escape from the lay-up sandwich. The press is closed and is applying a predetermined amount of heat and pressure to the lay-up sandwich for a predetermined period of time whereby the first and second polymeric material sheets melt together.
