Hard Flooring Guide: Corian
Durable, practical and good looking, what do you need to know about Corian before you buy?
Why We Like It
In a league of its own, Corian is a durable and hygienic acrylic-based material that can be shaped for a seamless fit between the floor and the wall.
Your Choices
Available in more than 100 colours, including whites, neutrals, pastels, brights, solids and textured colours.
Looks To Go For
Put colours together to create the impression that the floor is made from one seamless piece, or match the floor to a Corian work surface in the kitchen, or sinks and countertop in the bathroom for a homogenous look.
Where To Use It
It is most commonly used in bathrooms and wet rooms, where it makes for a seam-free, easy-to-clean surface that looks both sleek and contemporary. It also makes a fabulous kitchen work surface - and can be run into the splashback, too.
How To Look After It
A quick wipe is all that's needed to keep it in tip-top condition, and scratches won't show as the colour goes all the way through. If it gets damaged, it can be 'sanded' back (by a specialist) to look like new.
What It Costs
Here's the catch - it starts at around £300 per linear m.
