Benefits Of Installing Corian Kitchen Worktops

Corian kitchen worktops are the best of all the solid surfaces sold today, and compete effectively with granite worktops and quartz worktops. Corian worktops are formed by combining acrylic resin with natural minerals and do not have a chipboard core.
  
1. Flexibility in design: The structural nature allows it to have limitless design flexibility you can fabricate them in any shape you want. You can have it shaped like hardwood and make seamless the joints between worktop sections and other kitchen elements (like splash backs). You can end up with a a beautiful, smooth and stunning finish if this is done correctly.

2. Wide range of colors and patterns: Just like Granite Worktops Manchester and quartz worktops, Corian kitchen worktops come in more than 100 color and pattern range, meaning you can get what works for you. You could also consider the color customization options from DuPont if stuck. However, it is not advisable to go for this color customization if needing only a small amount of worktop as it can be very expensive. One thing you should understand when dealing with Granite Worktops, Corian kitchen worktops is that shades affect durability, with some shades and colors being less hard-wearing than others. Dark, heavily pigmented colors will show scratches, dust and ordinary wear and tear compared to the lighter, textured colors according to Corian literature. This is important, acknowledging that Corian worktops will develop small scratches and abrasions, which alters the satin finish present at installation. You need to have and stick to a cleaning plan in order to have luster developing evenly.

3. Great performance and durability: Corian worktops, like granite worktops and quartz worktops, do not just offer aesthetics: the material is a bit durable and high performing since it does not delaminate and stands up well to daily wear and tear. DuPonint also says that the solution resists most of the impacts, nicks and cuts common in heavy traffic areas.

4. Non-porous: This means it is hygienic. There are no joints to allow penetration of germ and grime traps, in addition to the fact that dirt and bacteria does not penetrate into the counter.
 
5. One can overcome most of the damage to the surface: You can also remove minor scratches and marks occurring on the surface, using every day cleaning products. You can renew damaged areas on site although you need a professional to do it. The above does not mean that Corian kitchen worktops do not have disadvantages. However, most of these are associated with other types of solid surfaces as well. In addition to picking scratches over time and having durability that varies based on color or shade, the surface does not work well with hot pans and utensils -- you must use some other surface such as a trivet (with rubber feet) to protect the counter from the direct heat. You must also avoid cutting directly onto Corian and instead use a chopping board or worktop saver – this will help avoid scoring or marking the surface.
 
Price of Corian worktops is the biggest impediment to people buying it. However, although it is more priced than other surfaces, it is of a higher quality. It is more expensive than all laminate worktop, many wood worktops, but almost equally priced to granite and some of the Quartz Worktops options.
