Corian sinks are terrific. Easy to clean, sanitary, and non-staining. No caulk.

Best sink ever!!!!! I adore my Corian big single sink. It's SO easy to care for - never shows the hard water spots that made my stainless sink always look dirty.

It's my understanding that they can only be integrated (ie, seamless) when used with a Corian countertop, but can be done as an under mouth with any countertop material.

For clients with maintenance and durability concerns, I usually recommend a quartz composite sink like the ones from Elkay or Blanco.

I'm torn, I have read several reviews stating the Blanco Silgranit sinks stain easily, particularly the lighter colors. I have heard the Corian sinks can be sanded if necessary if they get scratched.

I had a white Blanco sink in my last house and I just put one in our new house. I love them! I'm a big fan of going to bed with an empty sink every night, so keeping it clean isn't a problem. If you let things sit in it for long periods of time I could see potential for staining. I do highly recommend the steel grid for the bottom so that it's easier to rinse out even if you have dishes in there. The one time I did notice some staining I used a magic eraser sponge and it came off immediately.

"I have heard the Corian sinks can be sanded if necessary if they get scratched."

You have heard correctly. They are literally new when refinished.

Loved Corian counter and integrated sink every day for 24 years, and are just selling the house this week. Very easy to care for. “Soft sounding” and easy to brighten up coffee and tea darkness with a spray of Clorox cleanup. Two minutes! Loved it. Sink is off white, and counters a beige speckle. Never felt out of date, and no big scratches or chips. Good luck!

I thought about the integrated sink but decided to get a SS Karran Edge with my Glacier White Corian counters. I love it! It's a seamless undermount.

Man, I don't know what to make of the "nonstaining" claim -- my bathroom sinks are both discolored where the water runs. Perhaps I need to go after them with bleach or something abrasive, but so far the stains just deepen (yellowish) every year...

acm:

Are you positive your sinks are Corian and not cultured marble?

From what I understand a corian sink doesn't stain in the sense that wine, coffee, etc. won't seep deep into the material. However, it does color the surface (which still seems like a stain to me). But that can easily be buffed out with a mild cleaner (softscrub, or baking soda). And corian can be re-finished to look brand new several times over. As with anything, there is a give and take and you have to decide what works best for your lifestyle.

The Home Depot does Corian countertops with the integrated look of white corian sinks...If it were me, I wouldn't get a corian sink. I've heard mixed reviews. It's a softer material and since the only available colours are white it will show scratches. I would trust a Blanco siligranit sink more - even if it were white because you can wash with bleach if you need to.

I love my Corian sink ( off white) and countertops. They are so easy to care for and look great.

@acm do you have hard water?

In a prior home I had true Corian sinks, and about the hardest water to known to man. Zero issues. I think sometimes people don't know if it's really Corian or not (like Joe said above, maybe it wasn't truly Corian).

Yes my Corian sink stained. But there was no stain I couldn't get out with soft scrub.

I've also had a silgranit sink and I liked that just fine too. That also stained, and also cleaned up easily.

I currently have granite because I wanted to try something new when we built our current house - but I would have a corian sink and/or counter again with no reservations.
