Polishing and Finishing Solid Surface / Corian Worktops

What Are Solid Surface Worktops?

Corian:

A type of material created by DuPont co. in 1967, due to its many good properties it is an ideal material for use in kitchens and bathrooms, mainly as worksurfaces.

Some of its best qualities are here as follows:

  • Stain Resistant
  • Thermoformable (flexible when heated)
  • Non-Porous (does not absorb liquid)
  • Non-Toxic

Solid Surface Worktops:

The creation of Corian led to many similar materials being created by other companies. These materials, along with the original Corian, are all classed as solid-surface worktops, and all share the same qualities.

They also share the same basic creation process, just with a different ratio of compounds going into them, meaning they all need finishing to the same high standard.
