Corian® solid surface material in the kitchen
Corian® is the original solid surface material made by DuPont and can be used to
create furniture, lighting and interiors for all kinds of environments. The flexibility and
durability of Corian® means it is still uniquely at home in the place where it began more than
30 years ago - the kitchen.
Corian® offers a versatility that has secured its application in an ever-increasing range of
sectors - from office environments to bars, healthcare to hotels, transportation to retail
fitouts. Commercial and domestic interiors present many different challenges, both aesthetic
and practical, which can be equally well met by Corian®. The material's diverse uses include
countertops, bar tops, tables, sinks, vanity tops and bowls, wall cladding, furniture, backlighted
surface, shelving, signage and much more.
Here are some of the features of Corian® and the benefits derived from using the material:
- Made of natural minerals and high-performance acrylic, Corian® has the smoothness and substance associated with stone, combined with the workability of fine wood.
- Importantly in kitchen environments, Corian® is non-porous and therefore highly durable and easy to maintain.
- Corian® is compatible - both aesthetically and practically - with a variety of other materials such as wood, glass and stainless steel.
- Corian® sheets are joined together with a special adhesive, giving a smooth, seamless appearance, and creating the impression that an entire area - such as a long kitchen benchtop - has been made from a single piece.
- Sinks - either in Corian® or another material - can be easily and neatly integrated to create a seamless overall look.
- Corian® lends itself to useful features such as spill-proof waterfall edges, matching knobs and handles or integrated bars for heat protection.
- Corian® is heat-, impact- and stain-resistant - making it a good choice even in the busiest environments, such as a restaurant kitchen.
- Corian® is backed by a 10 Year Limited Installed Warranty (provided that it is installed by a member of the 'Quality Network' of fabricators and dealers).
