Corian for bathroom sink and counter
Comments (17)My name is Andy and have been fabricating solid surface in Southern California for 25 years. Solid surface will burn if a hot curling iron is placed directly on the material and left for a period of time. That said, we as fabricators don't have many calls about a burned Corian countertop in the bathroom. Nail polish remover with Acetone will technically make a mark on the Corian if left long enough.

I also have a medicine cabinet that I think is terrific. Though I don't use it as much as I thought I would. I have drawers in the vanity for most things. I do love the large mirror. The history of my medicine cabinet is that I aquired the mirror for free back in the early 90's, before I knew what I had. I thought it was a lower cabinet door for a fancy home bar. So when I was redoing my one bathroom 4 years ago, I noticed mirrors in the show room that reminded me of the mirror I had stored in the basement. It was a Robern fairly large mirrored medicine cabinet mirror. So I had my wonderful carpenter make me a cabinet to go with the trim and cabinetry in the bathroom. I love it, and I think it's pretty....See MoreAny one out there with Arctic White quartz as a bathroom countertop?
Comments (2)As to color and not the material--Made the mistake of using pure white Formica for a bathroom counter. Just don't do it unless you're keen on using a vacuum to clean the counter every single time you use it. Pure white shows every last strand of hair that lands on it. The counter can be clean, as in sterile, and one hair lands on it and it looks really bad. My advice is to pick something that has a bit of a pattern....See MoreQuartz countertop for bathroom
