Can I sit a hot pot on it?

No, use a trivet.

No, use a cutting board. We supply a FREE cutting board with all Corian Kitchens.

What is it made of?

Corian and all of the other solid surface countertops are a mixture of a natural mineral Aluminum Tri-Hydrate (which in it's natural state is similar to chalk) that is the filler and 50% acrylic resin as the binder. Silestone, on the other hand, is made up of 93% Quartz crystals and 7% acrylic resin. The hardest part of natural Granite is Quartz - which typically makes up 20% - 30% with the balance made up of Feldspar and other misc materials. This makes Silestone much stronger than Granite so it can support it's own weight up to 12: where Granite is good up to 8" unsupported.

Do i need sub tops?

No, we will supply all of the necessary support for their countertops.

How tall above the cabinets will my countertops be?

1-1/2" for Corian, etc. and 1-1/4" (3CM) for Silestone and Granite slab.

Can i get Vertical panels for Tub or Shower Surrounds?

Yes, we recommend the 1/4" LG Hi-Macs sheets because they have the most colors available (50) - Average Retail price = $35-$40/SF

What about the Warranty?

Corian, Avonite, and Starton and Silestone all have a ten year warranty. LG Hi-Macs has a 15 year warranty and Granite slab has a 1 year warranty.

Can I place a hot pan directly on Corian®?

We do not recommend placing a hot utensils directly on Corian®. Although Corian remains stable and undamaged in temperatures up to 212 F, high heat or flame will damage Corian®. In most cases this can be repaired. To protect your Corian® from heat damage, always use a heat pad or a trivet with rubber feet when using hot pots or heat - generating appliances like frying pans or electric cooking pans.
