Using
countertops with corian®
Corian
countertops are within the many options of solid surface
countertops certainly the ones with the utmost flexibility
to the kitchen designer. DuPont® developed and
markets the corian® material
and has done a wonderful job in offering a endless variety
of colors and designs. This article wants to dive into
some of the options you have with corian countertops to eventually redesign the entire look of your kitchen.
Corian ® allows
a new way to integrate counter tops and sinks
One
of the biggest advantages corian counter tops offer
against any conventional laminate
countertops is the
perfect integration of kitchen sinks into the look
of the kitchentop. With sinks available in the corian® material
as well, countertops and sink can be glued together
with virtually no way of finding any gap. So they look
like one entire corian countertop. So the times where
a stainless steel kitchen sink stood out of the kitchentop
are gone. Now its this one-piece look, which gives the
kitchen a very modern look.
From
a technical point of view corian countertops can be
cut very similar to formica
counter tops. So TCT blades
and drill bits are a must, preferably diamond coated
cutters and saws are used. Most important tool when
working with countertops made out of corian ® is
the router or the cnc routing center. Especially a
router with at least 2.5 HP is recommended for any
kitchen sink cut outs or corner joints of the counter
tops.
All
in all corian ® gives you a huge versatility
and freedom to design new shapes and forms around your
countertops and kitchen island tops. Being
a material with such a enormous flexibility corian ® should
be one of the best choices you might consider for your
kitchen countertops.

kitchen countertops is available directly from DuPont ®.
