CORIAN® gives you more ways to bring your kitchen ideas to life.
CORIAN® gives you more choices, more flexibility than any other surface material you can buy.
Classic Value
Start with the basics: a Classic CORIAN® countertop with a simple edge treatment, square
backsplash and a color chosen from a select offering. Then drop in a sink of your choice.
It’s an affordable way to make a good kitchen great.
Custom Touches
With CORIAN®,
it’s easy to add a coved backsplash, custom inlay, unique edge treatment and integral
sinks. A custom touch here and there turns sensible into sensational.
Signature Style
To show your signature style...form it, shape it. Mix it with other materials. Let your
kitchen counter flow into tables, bar tops and windowsills. CORIAN® helps to make your dream kitchen
come true.
CLASSIC value: With just a plain edge treatment, square backsplash,
a drop-in sink and a color chosen from a select color offering, an ordinary kitchen is
made extraordinary with CORIAN®.
CUSTOM touches: A pristine countertop of CORIAN® flows gracefully into an integral
CORIAN® sink. A
simple edge treatment with an elegant inlay and a color-coordinated accent strip of CORIAN® adds drama and distinctively
unique twists.
SIGNATURE style: The design flexibility of CORIAN® allows your
imagination to run wild. Create countertops with distinctive edge treatments and coved
backsplashes. Add a CORIAN® sink and an inlay of CORIAN® or other materials to show your true signature style.
