Worktops & surfaces

Corian worktops

Seamless solid surface tops with integrated sinks, coved upstands and gently curved shapes - templated and fitted by our own team across Scotland.

Corian in real homes

Why choose Corian

Corian is an acrylic solid surface - mineral filler bound in resin - which means it can be bonded, shaped and sanded like a solid material rather than simply cut like a slab. It suits long uninterrupted runs, sociable islands and anyone who wants a softer, quieter finish than stone.

Seamless, joint-free runs

Sheets are bonded and sanded back so long runs, returns and island tops read as one continuous surface with no visible join line.

Integrated sinks and drainers

Sinks, drainer grooves and upstands can be formed in the same material, so there is no rim or silicone line for dirt to collect in.

Thermoformed curves

Corian can be gently heated and shaped, which makes curved island fronts, radius corners and coved upstands possible.

Non-porous and hygienic

The solid surface is non-porous throughout, so it does not need sealing and wipes down easily around sinks and prep areas.

Repairable and renewable

Scratches and scuffs can be sanded out on site and the surface brought back to its original finish - a real advantage in a busy family kitchen.

Warm, matt appearance

A softer, quieter look and feel than stone or ceramic, in solid colours as well as subtle veined and particulate patterns.

Corian sinks and bowls

Because a Corian bowl is bonded into the worktop rather than dropped on top of it, there is no rim or silicone line at all. Choose a prefabricated Corian Elements bowl or have one made to your own dimensions, with drainer grooves and a coved upstand formed in the same sheet.

Corian Spicy 965 sink bowl

Spicy 965

Generous single bowl with square internal corners - a good match for wide sink runs and a coved upstand behind.

Corian Sweet 809 sink bowl

Sweet 809

Softly radiused bowl that suits smaller runs and utility rooms while keeping the seamless Corian look.

Corian Sweet 871 sink bowl

Sweet 871

Deeper bowl for family kitchens, bonded flush into the worktop so there is no rim to clean around.

Corian Smooth 850 sink bowl

Smooth 850

Gently curved bowl with a smooth transition into the top - ideal alongside a formed drainer groove.

Corian is NSF/ANSI 51 certified for food contact and non-porous, so it resists stains and the growth of mould, mildew and bacteria with normal cleaning.

Corian questions

Is Corian better than quartz or ceramic?

It is different rather than better. Quartz and ceramic are harder and more heat resistant, so they suit heavy-duty use and stone-look schemes. Corian wins on seamless runs, integrated sinks, curved shapes and the fact that damage can be sanded out rather than replaced.

Can you put a hot pan on a Corian worktop?

No - always use a trivet or heat pad. Like most solid surfaces, prolonged direct heat can mark it, though marks can usually be polished out.

How much do Corian worktops cost in Scotland?

As an indicative guide, Corian sits between a good laminate and premium quartz for a typical kitchen. Cost depends on colour group, run lengths, edge build-up and whether you specify an integrated sink, so we price each kitchen from your plans.

Do you template and fit Corian yourselves?

Yes. Worktops are templated after the cabinetry is installed and fitted by our own team, so the same person looks after your project from design through to completion.
