Are you considering renovating your bathroom or kitchen? Or maybe you are in the construction business and are looking for bathroom and kitchen surface options. There are many options in the market, including granite, marble, engineered stone, recycled glass countertops, and even stainless steel. Corian is also a premium decorative surface that is non-porous, doesn’t stain, and looks seamless.

Donald Slocum invented Corian in 1967. At that time he was working as a Chemist for DuPont. The surface was patented in 1968 and introduced into the market in 1971 in Houston, Texas.

Product Sub-Brands

Over the years, DuPont has created sub-brands of the original Corian material that have unique design elements or manufacturing methods, including:

• The Private Collection saw the introduction of colour inspired by nature into the product line. The colours resembled natural materials like stone. All colours had intricate non-repetitive patterns not found in other products within the product range.
• The Terra Collection was introduced in the 2000’s and contained anything from sixty to twenty percent recycled content.
• The Illumination Series introduced its first colours in 2007 and has a semi-translucent appearance. This feature allows for those designs that require backlit applications to illuminate beautifully.
• The Metallics Series
