Introduction to Corian Stone and Its Advantages

Corian stone is a colloquial term used to refer to solid surface sheets. Solid Surface ( Solid Surface ) is the technical name for solid and homogeneous sheets produced through a specific formula and synthetic materials in a chemical process. These sheets closely resemble natural stone in appearance and certain physical properties, which is why they are also colloquially referred to as « artificial stone ».

What are the components of Corian?

Among the components of Corian, hydrated alumina is notable; it is a type of product derived from bauxite and clay.	Resin or liquid polymer is another component used in the production of Corian, acting as an adhesive that lends flexibility to this product.	Pigments and decorative additives are employed to provide variety in designs and patterns.

Solid Surface or Corian is a type of artificial stone that features uniform colors and textures, and is durable, resembling natural stone in strength and beauty, similar to warm wood in terms of cut ability, and maintains cleanliness and hygiene akin to china and ceramics.

Given the unique characteristics of Corian, such as its sanitary capabilities, antibacterial and antifungal properties, desirable durability, flexibility, and ease of installation, it is considered a suitable alternative to natural stones, wood, MDF, ceramics, and more in residential, office, commercial, restaurant, clinic, hospital, and other settings.

The Corian sheets produced by Atistone, in addition to the specific advantages of Corian, possess a range of aesthetic and decorative capabilities, including an extensive and infinite variety of colors and textures, moldability and shape acceptability, light transmission, and workability, which transforms Atistone Corian into a practical and exceptional material for interior decoration and the creation of whimsical and decorative items and structures made from Corian.

The unparalleled properties of Atistone solid surface inspire our design capabilities and creativity, assisting us in realizing dreams and crafting desired environments.

With Atistone Corian, you will face no limitations in the color and texture of your desired surface applications.

For bonding stone sheets together, Corian adhesive is used, requiring nearly 40 minutes for complete adhesion between two pieces.
