CORIAN® is... Magazine - Volume Three, Number One
No material is indestructible. But members of the historic Essendon Rowing Club in Melbourne, Australia, might beg
to differ.
In 1991 the club installed a new bar, topped with CORIAN®. It was one of the first installations of Sierra Pink Coral in the country. With a sleek integral sink and dramatic 180º radially routed drainboard, it was the pride and joy of the Club. And it quickly became the hub of social life for members.
The happy hours ended abruptly when vandals poured gasoline under the bar and set fire to the Club. The building was gutted. And the CORIAN® bar appeared to be a total loss, blackened and buckled by the flames.
But to everyone's amazement, the original fabricator, Colin Petts of 'A' Series, removed the soot, thermoformed the buckled surface back to its original shape, repaired one damaged section and put the same CORIAN® top back into service.
The restored bar looks as good as new.
They thought it was "toast". But today any member of this Club will be glad to join you in a toast to the remarkable durability and renewability of
CORIAN®.
