Q. Can I put a hot pot on my Corian ®? A. It is not recommended. When excessive heat (300 °) and pressure (weight) are applied to the surface you may get a 'blush' mark. Q. What if I do damage my Corian ® countertop? A. Corian ® is repairable. Cracked or heat damaged sections can be removed and a new color matched piece seamed in it's place. Each customer receives a piece of color matched material to use in this event. Q. Can I use my Corian ® countertop as a cutting board? A. It is not recommended. Although minor scratches can easily be removed, regular cutting on your countertop will necessitate more maintenance by the homeowner. Each customer gets a cutting board made from sink cutout material. Q. Will anything stain my Corian ® countertop? A. No. Corian ® is non-pours so nothing permanently stains it. Some items may leave a residue on Corian ® that looks like a stain but those are easily removed. Customers receive a Care & Maintenance Kit and Video to show them how to clean their countertop. Q. Is there any special care for Corian ®? A. Unlike granite, marble or tile there is no annual sealing recommended. Because Corian ® is non-porous there is no reason to seal. Q. What does the warranty cover? A. Du Pont's covers any failure of a Corian ® countertop. This includes material failures or those that may be a result of fabrication or instillation error. It does not include customer abuse (i.e. hitting a countertop with a blunt heavy object) Q. What is the difference between Corian ® and the other brands? A. Corian ® was invented thirty-five years ago. No product has been on the market and tested as long. Corian ® has a secret acrylic formula that is entirely unique. The majority of competitive brands are made from polyester resins. Acrylic is superior to polyester in the following ways: Other acrylic manufacturers have limited color selections, and inferior acrylic blend and yet are priced similarly. Their inferior acrylic blends are vulnerable to discoloration from common household cleaners (use recommended against in their literature). Q. Isn't this new solid surface veneer the same thing as Corian ® but cheaper? A. By definition any true solid surface is in a superior product category vs any veneer. This is evidenced by the fact that veneer manufactures continue to produce a 1/2" solid surface and promote it as the "pinnacle" of countertops surfacing. Corian ®, in particular, has a superior acrylic formula that unlike veneer won't be discolored by ordinary household cleaners (Clorox, 409, Fantastik). And Corian ® won't delaminate under any circumstances since it is not applied to a full substrate. Because it is solid acrylic and not overlaid to particleboard, Corian ® is 'waterproof' not just water-resistant. Whereas water that can easily get behind backsplashes and other areas will damage the particleboard support for a veneer, Corian ® will be unharmed.
