Comparing Corian And Granite Countertops To Reveal The Better Choice
By ALEX FLOYD-DOUGLASS
Granite is a popular choice when it comes to choosing the right countertop for a home. However, Corian countertops, an affordable but lesser-known option, also merit attention.
Corian, a brand name coined by DuPont for its solid surface countertops, is created by blending natural minerals with acrylic resin. It costs $70 to $130 per square foot.
Its appeal lies in the extensive range of colors and styles available, making it an ideal choice for those looking to customize their kitchen's look without a hefty price tag.
Granite countertops, costing between $40 to $150 per square foot, are renowned for their durability and can last a lifetime with proper care. However, they require annual sealing.
In contrast, Corian countertops are easier to maintain and eliminate the need for yearly sealing, but they don't match granite in terms of resistance to heat and damage.
