The Advantage Of Corian Solid Surface Material

Corian is a brand of solid surface material created by DuPont and invented in 1967 by Donald Slocum. It's main use is for countertops which makes it an ideal material for reception desks and counters.  A cross-section cuts shows consistent colour and pattern being evenly distributed, giving the name 'solid surface'. Corian is a very durable and flexible and is used by architects across the world as it can be styled and cut in a number of ways. The majority of these reception desks are delivered in modular pieces and then the joining lines and seams are smoothed and made invisible by the specialist installation team.

Solid surface (also known by various brand names, including Corian, Krion, HiMacs and Avonite) is an ideal material choice for bespoke reception desks and other workplace or hospitality furniture. It is non-porous and highly durable, which makes it hygienic, easy to maintain and, should it become scratched or worn over time, easily repairable.

Unlike many other furniture materials, solid surface can be cast or thermoformed into almost any shape, which makes it incredibly versatile, able to create even the most unusual or sculptural of forms. Aesthetically, solid surface can be engineered to mimic natural stone finishes such as marble or granite, as well as coloured to complement, or contrast with, any design scheme.

And, when it comes to specifying bespoke solid-surface furniture, size is no object, as individual pieces of solid surface can be joined together invisibly by Onebest expert craftsmen.
