Abstract: This invention is concerned with the construction of composites useful as horizontal surfaces. The novel composite comprises a fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) as a substrate and a solid surface material (SSM). The novel composite is made through the preparation of a SSM preform and the casting of FRC into the preform. Adhesion between the FRC and the SSM preform is accomplished through the use of a bonding feature (e.g., dove tail slots) cut into the interior surface of the preform or attached to the interior surface of the SSM preform. The invention is also directed to the composites made through the disclosed process.
