The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house. Most of you spend most of your time there, so it's important that it's a place where you feel at ease. If you're thinking of renovating your kitchen, Corian® is an ideal material, both technically and aesthetically. In this article, we'll take a look at the various options available to you for renovating your kitchen.
The technical advantages of Corian®
First of all, why choose Corian® to renovate your kitchen? Corian® is a brand of Solid Surface, a blend of natural stone and acrylic. Corian® has a number of advantages that make it an all-round material, perfectly suited to use in the kitchen. It's hygienic, because it's antibacterial and seamless, so no bacteria can penetrate or lodge in it. It's stain-resistant and resistant to shocks and impacts. It can still be repaired if necessary, so you can keep your worktop and simply repair the crack invisibly. Corian is an ideal material for kitchen use, as it has been designed to meet American and European standards for food use. Last but not least, it's a material that's very easy to maintain on a daily basis and cleans very easily, which is essential for kitchen use.
Corian® as a worktop
Corian® as a worktop is the primary application for which you can use it, as its material and various advantages are perfectly suited to its use in the catering trade. Its qualities are unrivalled in terms of hygiene, with its smooth, non-porous surface preventing the proliferation of bacteria. Solid surface allows you to create real structures in a single block, creating surfaces with no visible joints and offering an aesthetic finish of the highest quality. What's more, this material is available in a wide range of colors, so you can customize your furniture to suit your every whim.
Corian® for sinks
Corian® can also be used to create your own sink, ensuring a completely uniform surface right down to the same color. Here, too, Corian is ideal, as it allows you to create a completely custom-made piece. You can create a sink of any size and shape you like. Despite intensive use over time, its various colors will not change, and white in particular will not yellow. Again, it's easy to clean. Corian® is non-slip in contact with water and is considered practically fireproof, so it won't allow fires to spread.
Corian® for kitchen tables
When it comes to kitchen tables, Corian® allows you to come up with truly customized architectural concepts. From a design point of view, there are no limits, and the various techniques for working with Corian can produce surprising and original results. Corian® can also be backlit, allowing you to create a unique, designer dining table. When choosing a worktop for your table, you can choose between a matte, glossy or satin finish. The satin finish is generally the most recommended, as it is slightly less exposed to micro-scratches, particularly when used in kitchens.
To accompany your furniture, you can also create shelves or small storage units to give your kitchen a uniform look.
Corian® as a wall covering
It's also possible to use Corian® as a wall covering, which can be particularly practical if you want to put it above your worktop to avoid splashes on your wall. Its flat surface is very soft to the touch, and will hold up well in any space. Its lightweight material is easy to install and manipulate for fixing panels to walls, and is antistatic. Corian® is also regularly used as a wall covering, as it is resistant to solar and uv radiation.
Corian® is therefore the ideal material to use in your kitchen as part of a renovation project, as its many advantages will ensure ease of use on a daily basis and flawless long-term durability. With Corian®, you can have a kitchen that lives up to your expectations, completely customizable and unique. With Corian®, the design possibilities are endless.
