corian characteristics
Corian is a versatile and durable solid surface material renowned for its seamless appearance and extensive variety of colors and patterns. Made from a blend of acrylic polymer and natural minerals, Corian is non-porous, stain-resistant, and hygienic, making it perfect for both kitchen and bathroom applications. Its thermoformable properties enable custom designs and integrated sinks, while its renewable and repairable nature ensures long-term durability and easy maintenance.

corian pros
Hygenic Non-Porous
Corian's non-porous surface inhibits the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria, contributing to a cleaner and more hygienic environment in kitchens and bathrooms.
Repairable
Minor scratches and surface imperfections in corian can be easily repaired by sanding and buffing, restoring the material to its original condition.
Impact Resistant
Corian is highly resistant to impact and abrasion, making it suitable for use in high-traffic areas where durability is essential.
corian cons
Indoor Use Only
Corian is designed for indoor use only and is not recommended for outdoor applications. Exposure to UV radiation and extreme weather conditions can cause discoloration, warping, and other damage to the material.
Susceptible to Heat Damage
While corian is heat resistant to some extent, it can be damaged by excessive heat. Placing hot pots and pans directly on the surface can cause discoloration or warping, requiring caution and the use of trivets or hot pads.
Prone to Scratches
While corian is durable and impact-resistant, it may not be as hard or scratch-resistant as natural stone materials like granite or quartz. This could result in more visible wear and tear over time, especially in heavy-use environments.

how to care for your corian solid surface
Routine Cleaning
Regularly clean your corian surfaces with mild soap and water to remove dirt, grime, and spills. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface. For tougher stains, use a gentle household cleaner recommended for solid surface materials.
Avoid Heat Exposure
Corian is heat-resistant to a certain extent, but it's best to avoid placing hot pots, pans, or other heated objects directly on the surface. Always use trivets or heat pads to protect your corian countertops from excessive heat, as prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause discoloration or damage.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
While corian is resistant to many household chemicals, it's essential to avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners that can damage the surface. Avoid products containing bleach, ammonia, or abrasive scrubbing pads, as they can dull or scratch the finish. Instead, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths for routine cleaning.
