Corian in the Kitchen
Corian in 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 ideally 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 busy environments, such as a restaurant kitchen.
The Corian solid surface material is available from CASF Australia .
