orous, it is joined with inconspicuous seams, creating surfaces that are both elegant and easy to clean. This makes it the perfect solution for spas, beauty salons and wellness areas, as well as for guest and public bathrooms. Hotel owners naturally want to keep cleaning time to a minimum in order to reduce costs and disruption. With Corian®, washbasins are integrated with inconspicuous joints, so there are no awkward corners where dirt or humidity can accumulate. Corian® is exceptionally quick and easy to clean using common household products and, provided it is properly cleaned, will not support the growth of mold and mildew. A DURABLE SOLUTION Corian® is durable, non-porous and does not delaminate. It is also stain-resistant and scratchresistant. If scratches and cigarette burns do occur, they can easily be removed, while more major damage can be repaired on site, minimizing the time that rooms are out of service.

Intense, dark colours that are easy to maintain While dark colours offer impact from a design point of view, in the past they have been less practical than white or light colours since scratches are always more visible on dark surfaces. However thanks to DuPont’s new DeepColour™ Technology*, Corian® has recently launched a range of intensely dark colours that offer improved wear performance and easier thermoforming, seaming and finishing. This means that designers and architects can specify dramatic dark tones that were previously inadvisable for heavy traffic environments, and hotel owners can rest assured that these colours will be easier to maintain. The first DeepColour™ Technology* collections consist of four intense black hues (Deep Anthracite, Deep Black Quart

As confirmed by the world’s leading hotel chains, DuPont™ Corian® solutions offer lower costs in terms of maintenance and cleaning, repair or replacement, and project refurbishment costs, including ‘out of use’ room time during installation. This means that in the long-term, Corian® offers an excellent return on investment. Corian® can
