The Benefits of Corian Solid Surface in Kitchens and Bathrooms

At Poulin Design Center, we’ve seen all kinds of countertop and shower surfaces come and go. But not Corian. It has stuck around, and there’s a very good reason for that.

We handcraft DuPont Corian Solid Surface right here in our in-house fabrication shop. This is hugely important to us because it allows our team to deliver the level of quality, precision, and speed our customers deserve.

So, if you’re planning a remodel and want something that looks good and makes life easier, keep reading. Corian just might be the best choice on the market.

What Is Corian?

Corian is a solid surface material made by DuPont. It’s been around for decades, but it’s nothing like your grandma’s laminate. It’s sleek and seamless. It’s also non-porous—this is one of the most important features, which we’ll look at in a little more detail below.

Why Homeowners Choose Corian

People remodeling their homes share a lot of the same goals.

  • They want something that’s easy to clean.
  • They don’t want grout lines that become dirty or even moldy over time.
  • They want something that will last years—even decades.

Corian delivers on all three. And more. Some of its features include:

  • Non-porous. No little holes. No cracks. Nothing for water or bacteria to hide in.
  • Easy to clean. Wipe it down with a cloth and a gentle cleaner. That’s it.
  • Seamless installation. You get a smooth, continuous surface.
  • Custom fit. We shape it to your space, not the other way around.
  • Beautiful variety. Pick from a wide range of colors and styles. There’s truly something for every home.

Made to Handle Life

Let’s talk durability.

Kitchens and bathrooms get used a lot. Corian is up to the challenge. It resists scratches and stains and can withstand pretty substantial impact damage. This makes it an ideal choice for families with kids or pets—or just messy cooks!

And if it does get scratched? The surface is renewable to new. You don’t have to rip everything out and start over, which can be costly.

What About Germs?

Corian takes a smart approach:

  • It’s non-porous, so germs can’t get inside in the first place.
  • You can clean it with any EPA-approved disinfectant.
  • There’s no coating to worry about damaging.

In the end, a cleanable surface is a safer surface. That’s what Corian is.

A Great Choice for Shower Walls

Tile looks nice, but without upkeep, the grout starts to get grimy and mold begins to grow. Then it looks like an all-day chore and potentially an ongoing health hazard.

Corian helps you avoid all of that.

With Corian shower walls, you get:

  • A mold-resistant, grout-free surface
  • Seamless edges that don’t trap water
  • A custom fit to your space
  • A premium, high-end finish

Proudly Made, Locally Crafted

Corian is made in the USA. And at Poulin Design Center, we cut, shape, and install it ourselves. We don’t outsource to a third party, so there aren’t any surprises or misunderstandings.

Our in-house approach gives us full control over quality, timing, and how your finished space turns out.

Is It Right for You?

If you’re over cleaning grout or dealing with cracked tiles, Corian’s a step up. It’s clean, tough, and easy to look after. We make it ourselves in-house, so it’ll fit your space exactly.
