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 cleaner 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 cant' 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
~ Corian© is not designed to withstand extreme heat, such as the direct application of a hot pot or pad directly from the stove or oven; a trivet should always be used.
~ When combining Corian© with other materials near a stove, 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.
