Warm and Inviting
Your environment will be as distinctive and expressive as you want it
to be when you use Corian®, a material with many faces. It's always
approachable, warm and inviting. Whether you use it as a central design element
or as an accent, Corian® adds both style and sensibility to every project.
Illuminating
The natural translucency of Corian® allows it to contribute drama and
definition to any installation. When backlit, Corian® glows. Surfaces become
more luminous-lighter colors are warmer, softer; darker tones become richer,
deeper. This quality translates to many applications, including interior and
exterior lighting, inlaid fiber-optics, wall panels and other uses. Working
with Corian® is truly an illuminating experience.
Formable
The formability of Corian® adds to its versatility. You can cut it.
Carve it. Rout it. Drill it. Sculpt it. Bend it. Or work it like a fine wood.
The ability of Corian® to be thermoformed allows it to flow with both
traditional and nontraditional designs. An ordinary sheet of Corian® can be
transformed into an art form...a dramatic curved stairway...a sculpted piece of
furniture.
Compatible
You'll find that Corian® "plays well with others." Friendly and
approachable, it blends beautifully with whatever it's paired with. Corian® is
just as comfortable in a supporting role as it is taking center stage-it can be
as quiet or as bold as it needs to be.
Corian® combines beautifully with chrome, stainless steel, wood, glass, brass
and more. Whether you want to express simple minimalism, lush and dramatic
sophistication, or cozy warmth, Corian® is totally comfortable in its
surroundings, complementing everything it touches.
Corian® also works well alone, using combinations of the many colors of its
palette. These combinations can create contrast. Define borders. Inlay
textures. Layer color on color, tone on tone. The spectrum of possibilities is
virtually endless.
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.
