lmost born in the bathroom. In the early 1960s, DuPont researchers set out to create a totally new material. An advanced composition with all the best attributes of stone, steel, wood and laminate. And none of the limitations.

DuPont saw commercial bathrooms as the ideal application for their amazing new material. And why not? Not only was it easy to clean, it delivered the aesthetics, performance and long-term value that commercial specifiers were looking for.

In 1966, DuPont gave their brainchild a name: "CORIAN^® ". (After several years of referring to it as "acrylic slab stock," the new name was music to everyone’s ears.)

Before long, CORIAN became a house-hold word. Not in the bathroom, but in the kitchens of America, as the premiere countertop material.

Today, in the U.S. and around the world, CORIAN is far more than a counter or vanity top. Because design professionals know CORIAN has too much potential and versatility to be limited to a handful of end uses.
