• does anyone have experience with different types of 'corian' solid surface worktops?

    Are all the different brands more or less the same or are some better than others?

  • Corian ( by DuPont) is the original and is an acrylic - I think it’s all synthetic - the other brand of this type I’ve looked at is Hi Macs. They tend to look less natural. Can look a bit plasticky and be a bit soft compared to quartz.

    Dekton is sintered stone - much tougher - no resin so higher heat resistance. More lab worktop vibe etc but do market to domestic.

    Quartz - silestone / Caesarstone are at the big brands - natural stone / mineral dust and chips bonded in resin - supposed to be harder than granite but not heat resistant.
