At S & W Kitchens we carry a full line of Corian
colors and styles. Corian® is the brand name for a solid surfacing
countertop material created by DuPont. More than just countertops,
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®. Corian® is stain-resistant. Because
Corian® is nonporous, stains can't penetrate the surface, so it's easy
to clean and maintain. Unlike natural stone, Corian® never requires
sealing. We do not recommend placing a hot pot directly on Corian®.
Although Corian® remains stable and undamaged in temperatures up to
212ºF (100ºC), high heat or flame will damage your surface. In most
cases, this damage can be repaired. To protect your Corian® from heat
damage, always use a hot pad or a trivet with rubber feet when using hot
pots, or heat-generating appliances like electric skillets or electric
cooking pots. Corian® is easy to clean. Soapy water or an ammonia-based
cleaner is all that is necessary for day-to-day care of your Corian®.
Minor scratches, burns or discoloration are also easy to repair. Major
damage should be repaired by a Certified Fabricator/Installer of DuPont
Corian®. Contact an Authorized Retailer of Corian® for assistance.
Corian® is nonporous. Unlike natural stone, Corian® never needs sealing
making it easy to live with! Corian® is a beautiful, maintenance-free
surface that you're sure to enjoy for many years to come.
About Corian
Corian ® - it is an original solid surface
material for finishing, invented by DuPont in the middle of 60's.
Beautiful and strong, fashionable and practical it is the new standard
of high class finishing.
Environmentally-friendly, chemically-stable material of DuPont has been
produced in America since 1963. Firstly its production was secret, but in 70's
Corian became very popular. Americans as people able and used to counting money,
at once appreciated its unusual cheap price. Unusual – because corian is not
just an expensive, but extremely expensive material, that is why its cheap price
is the matter of time and progress. Corian is notably durable. Products made of
it after many years of utilization have the same condition as they had on the
day of their production: exterior doesn’t change. Cigarette burns, scratches or
spots, left on the surface of corian products can be easily removed with the
help of sand paper and it will look brand-new.
Another unique property of this material is that the glued joints are not
visible. It’s possible to install any kinds of surfaces and constructions –
joints are seamless, all this looks like a monolith. Joints have 10 year
warranty, which is also unique.
Corian ® composition and properties
Corian ® - is a composite
material. A bit cool at touch it is produced of natural stones and highly
technological acrylic resin – this kind of combination has many advantages over
other materials.
Corian ® - is an imporous material and that makes it resistant to stains and
bacteria. Being solid balanced and colored through all its depth (Corian has no
surface or laminate upper layer which could be scratched) it is very durable and
lasting.
If a damage occurs Corian ® can be easily renewed with the help of domestic
means or soft sand paper. Corian ® products are impact resistant. But if a
product breaks, the broken piece can be cut out and replaced by a new one. And
after this the exterior doesn’t change and looks unrestored and absolutely
undamaged.
Corian ® is produced in the form of panels and its parts are assembled with
the help of super strong glue. These joints are invisible and make an impression
that the object is cut out of a whole stone monolith.
Range of colors
One of the values of Corian ® is its wide range of
colors. Using predictions of professional colorists DuPont produces Corian ® in
big variety of colors and this meets the requirements of its most serious
clients. One can find ever popular pure colors and a variety of stone-like
designs as well as innovative modern color compositions.
Total number of Corian ® colors and shades is achieving 100. All of them are
offered to clients and this helps them to select and design any interior of any
style, combining other materials - wood, ceramic, stone, stainless steel.
In addition to this rich color range Corian ® DuPont offers special exclusive
colors for particular commercial projects. They can be developed under draft and
correspond to company’s color, emphasizing its image. Orders for ‘private’
colors often come from airports, banks, huge departments. For instance, German
Rail Ways ordered its own special color for finishing new trains and
railway-stations.
