Corian is a brand of solid surface material created by DuPont. Its primary use is as a countertop/benchtop surface, though it has many other applications. It is composed of acrylic polymer and alumina trihydrate (ATH), a material derived from bauxite ore.
Besides, is Corian cheaper than granite?
While granite is more expensive than Corian, the price difference isn't that great. Corian costs $40-150 per square foot, while the price of slab granite starts at $40 and can reach up to $200. There's also installation to consider, and the cost often varies from region to region.
One may also ask, is Corian durable?
Corian is a synthetic, solid, nonporous, surface countertop material developed by Dupont. One of the many advantages of Corian is that the countertops feature a nearly seamless joint. Corian is also extremely durable and easy to maintain. It is stain, heat, and sunlight resistant.
Compared to other materials, it holds its own, price-wise. It's durability makes up for the higher price point, although Formica also makes a solid surface, and Corian does tend to be more expensive than the Formica range of solid surface options. When considering the price, comparing them to other materials is tricky.
