Can I recut or modify the edge profile of my corian countertop?
Comments (8)Yes, but it can be very hard to repair any mistakes or defects you make in the new edge. Corian is shaped with carbide bits in a router, with a few bits actually 'tweaked' to give better performance in Corian (compared to wood). Unless you have a decent amount of router experience it would be worth paying a Corina installer for the work. They may want a lot of waivers though They do not want to find an internal defect ad then have to replace a piece. It will also cause a snowstorm of corian shavings unlike anything you may have seen....See MoreCorian remnants -- can I just glue them to cab'ts 4 countertops?
Comments (4)Corian is sold in 1/2" sheets and the thicker look you see used for countertops has the edge bonded together with strips and then edged. If you didn't care about using a "standard" height countertop, then the 1/2" could just be edged and perimeter glued. It's a more contemporary look....See MoreBathroom countertops - I want white, husband wants natural material
Comments (6)Use marble on your counters, not your shower. You don’t put porous natural stone into a steam shower. Mold can grow inside the stone if you do not design in a forced air ventilation system with supplied air into the shower and exhaust out. Just a standard vapor sealed steamer exhaust is not enough. You need a vapor proof active sealed dampered make up air system for a prolonged period, to dry out the big sponge that you've introduced and forced water vapor into. That takes a 25K steam shower and makes it into a 35K steam shower. Which, if you have the 100K+ trim finish out after construction budget for your bathroom, probably isn't a blip to you. But finding the experienced hvac pros who know how to vapor proof their systems is a really big challenge. Use porcelain or quartz inside your steamer. Coordinate with whatever on your vanity top. Your designer should be helping you with both the technical and aesthetic requirements here....See MoreCORIAN Sparkling White, Glacier white, designer white
Comments (3)Thanks all. I priced the corian and it cost more than quartz or marble!!!! When I asked how could rhat be,, the fabricator told me that they no longer sell it, but he could source it for me, but due to low demand, I would have to buy an entire slab of it for the price of $3,200. Real thassos marble would have only cost me $1,400! i ended ip just getting the quatrz replaced . Tried to find the slab with the least black imperfections, but they still have them . Would never buy quartz again. Burns me up that I paid for it. feels like the feeling you get after paying for a lousy meal at a restaurant. 😡...See MoreBeth H. :
