Frequently Asked Questions

What is Corian exactly?

Corian is the brand name for a solid surfacing material created by DuPont that has earned trust and respect as a proven material that brings design versatility, long-term performance and value to any environment. 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.

Is Corian stain-resistant?

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.

Is Corian heat-resistant?

We do not recommend placing a hot pot directly on Corian. Although Corian remains stable and undamaged in temperatures up to 212 °F (100 °C), 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.

How do I clean my Corian?

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.
