Bathrooms are for Living

Life is full of surprises.

Thankfully, Corian^® isn't.

A thoughtful gesture. A candlelight interlude. Surprises like that are fine. But surprises are the last thing you need when you're investing in something as important as your bathroom.

That's why it pays to look beyond the surface.

Other surface materials may resemble CORIAN. Or you may hear them described as "just as good as CORIAN". No wonder. The tremendous consumer acceptance of CORIAN has encouraged lots of imitators.

Some of these look-alikes are impressive in one way or another.

But there is only one surface that delivers the unique balance of proven performance, long-lasting beauty, design flexibility and quality assurance that makes CORIAN such a solid value.

And that's CORIAN.

Before you decide on a bathroom surface, explore all your options. And be sure to include a visit to a bath products retailer. There's a showroom near you.

It's easy to find out where. Just call toll-free: 1-800-4-CORIAN.

Thank goodness CORIAN is so forgiving.
