CORIAN
DuPont created the solid surface category more than 30
years ago. An advanced blend of natural materials and pure
acrylic polymer, Corian® is a brand that has earned trust
and respect as a proven material that brings design
versatility, long-term performance and value to any
environment.
Corian® manufactures a variety of products that can be
incorporated into any custom installation to enhance your
design. Whether you need sinks for your home or your
business, you'll find a wide selection here. You'll also
find Ready-To-Install solutions for tub and shower
surrounds, as well as vanity tops and bowls.
There are three types of countertop finishes: matte/satin,
semi-gloss and high-gloss*. Most countertops are finished
with a matte/satin finish. All sinks have a matte/satin
finish. Soapy water, ammonia based cleaners or commercially
available solid surface cleaners will remove most dirt and
residue from all types of finishes. Stubborn residue will
require a little stronger cleaner.

Renewable
Nicks. Stains. Cuts. Scratches. While these can permanently
mar most other surfaces, they won't compromise the
appearance of Corian® solid surfaces. That's because
Corian® can be restored to its original state, using an
ordinary abrasive cleanser and a cleansing pad such as a
green Scotch-Brite pad. And, if damage does occur, Corian®
can be repaired on site, saving both downtime and
aggravation.
Non-Porous/Easy to Clean
Corian® solid surfaces are smooth and nonporous. As a
result, they will not promote the growth of mold, mildew or
bacteria. And because it's nonporous, liquids and stains
can't penetrate Corian®, so it's easy to clean and
maintain. Corian® is also nontoxic, and chemically
nonreactive, with virtually no off-gassing at normal room
temperatures, in accordance with building codes and other
local restrictions.
Consistent
Whether you cut Corian® to form an edge treatment...or
renew any part of its surface...the color, texture and
beauty you start with will remain constant over time.
Because Corian® solid surfaces are just that: solid all the
way through. And they remain that way, through years of
use.

Lasting Value
Your Corian® installation will last a long, long time,
postponing replacement and saving on tear-out costs.
Because Corian® is engineered to last, it's an investment
that amortizes over time. Corian® solid surfaces are both
durable and renewable. As a result, they retain their
original appearance long after initial installation.
Design Considerations
To ensure the most satisfactory long-term performance for
Corian® solid surfaces, please keep these considerations in
mind as you decide where to install and use it:
* Corian® is not designed to withstand extreme heat, such
as the direct application of a hot pot or pan directly from
the stove or oven; a trivet should always be used.
* When combining Corian® with other materials near a stove,
if heat resistance is of particular importance to you, it
is usually advisable to place the more heat-resistant
material, such as tile, adjacent to the stove.
* Frequent cutting directly on a Corian® countertop is not
recommended, although scratches from occasional cutting can
be renewed or repaired.
* Consider how much detail, such as inlays, will be used.
Extensive inlays may limit the performance benefits of
Corian® in the installation.
* Some Colors of Corian® are not well suited for direct
exposure to sunlight; check with your Authorized Retailer
or Distributor of Corian® before making a final selection.
* Certain substances will stain Corian®; these can usually
be removed by renewing or repairing the material.
Uses
The uses for Corian are as far as the imagination can bring
you: of course bathroom vanities, tub and shower surrounds
and kitchens, but also for bars, desks, tables, window
trim, shelves, floors, saddles, spas, boats, and more.
