Corian Overview

Corian® is a solid surfacing brand that has earned trust and respect as a proven material that brings design versatility, long-term performance and value to any environment. Much more than a countertop, Corian® lends itself to imaginative uses, innovative interpretations and enduring applications. It can be cut, routed, drilled, sculpted, bent, or worked like a fine wood. The ever-evolving color palette now extends to more than 100 colors. If you can envision it, chances are you can create it with Corian®.

Each Corian® countertop installation is custom designed specifically for your home or business. Corian® brings design versatility, long-term performance and value to your project. You can combine Corian® with other materials such as Quartz tile, stainless steel, wood, granite, or glass and add finishing touches like inlays, edge treatments, and a matching Corian® sink, to create a look that's uniquely yours.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the countertop material you are buying.

Visual Appearance

Corian Solid Surfaces

  • Corian solid surface countertops are color consistent, and are available in a wide range of colors and patterns.

Seams

Corian Solid Surfaces

  • Corian installations may necessitate that seams be used to achieve the ordered countertop project from one or more slabs or pieces. The layout of your kitchen and other factors including but not limited to transportability will determine the number and location of seams.
  • Seams will be inconspicuous and virtually invisible.
  • Seams will be at the discretion of the measurer or measure team performing the on-site measurement on behalf of e-counters.com.


Overhang

Corian Solid Surfaces

  • The maximum overhang that Corian countertops can extend beyond the cabinetry or supporting structure is 8-12” depending on the specific configuration.
  • Your measurer will advise you at the time of the measurement whether supports will be needed and what you will need to have in place before the time of the installation appointment.


Decking

Corian Solid Surfaces

  • Corian countertops can rest directly on cabinetry, and do not require plywood decking between the countertops and cabinets.

Care and Maintenance

Corian Solid Surfaces

  • Corian can be cleaned with soap and water or common household cleaners.
  • Corian countertops do not need to be sealed.
  • If Corian countertops get scratched, the scratches can usually be buffed out by lightly sanding the surface.

Sinks

Corian Solid Surfaces

  • Sink styles that can be used with Corian countertops include solid surface sinks, under-mount and top-mount stainless steel sinks, cast iron sinks, apron-style sinks, and vessel sinks.
  • Integrated sinks where the sink and countertop are one piece are possible with Corian.
