Where Can Corian Be Used in the Home

Du Pont™ Corian® is an advanced blend of natural minerals and pure acrylic polymer. It is man-made material, perfectly constructed to make it suitable for all environments inside and out. In Corian designers, architects and home owners have a material that can transform all environments. Within the home Corian is very versatile and be used in many ways other than Corian worktops but below are some of the most common uses for this wonderful material.

Kitchen

No room says ‘home’ like the kitchen, and no room reveals more about the way we live. With its many colours Corian has the ability to lend itself to any style and design of kitchen whether that kitchen is modern or traditional. Using Corian your kitchen worktops can add warmth and feel or whatever mood and style you are trying to achieve. Corian worktops have the ability to be formed into any shape you wish with no visible joins creating a smooth finish as if it were one piece of material, creating a harmonious, hygienic solution. Its not just all about looks though, Corian unlike many other materials holds heat very well making the worksurfaces warm to touch making them a joy to work on.

Bathroom

In recent years the bathroom has become a place of supreme relaxation instead of the gloomy functional rooms that they were of the past. Corian can be utilised to help your bathroom achieve the feeling of heightened relaxation with its formability, expansive colour range and its warmth on touch. Corian can transform your bathroom into an elegant sanctuary and a place within your home that you are proud to spend time in. Corian can be thermoformed into custom wash basins, bath designs and contemporary wet rooms, all this whilst being resistance to stains, scratches, mould and mildew making your Corian bathroom hygienic and easy to maintain.

Garden

With its stone-like strength, elegant colours, and smooth finish, Corian® can also find its place in a garden environment with natural style. The purpose of the garden is to entice and to inspire. It should be a place to entertain and to relax and Corian can help achieve this. Even finding its way into the Chelsea flower show Corian can be customised in various ways within the garden, such as cladding, fencing, walkways and water features. Corian can even be used to create mood lighting by adding a backlit effect utilising its translucent nature.

Although the above are possibly the most common ways of utilising Corian within and around the home the possibilities of where Corian can be used are almost limitless. Many Corian fabricators started off life as trained carpenters as many of the tools and skills needed to work Corian are the same as that of woodwork. Corian can be fabricated like hardwood therefore many of the ways hardwood is used can also apply to Corian from Corian worktops to Corian window sills and Corian stairs. This is why Corian is now the material of choice for many designers, architects and home owners as well.
