Chico Custom Counters

Have you heard that Corian countertops are a "plastic" material? While it's true that they are made with acrylic resins, it's important to look at the full picture.

Engineered quartz countertops, another highly sought-after material, also use a resin binder, typically made of polyester. In both cases, this resin is essential to the countertop's composition, giving it key performance characteristics like durability and non-porosity. Understanding how these materials are made can help you make an informed decision for your project.

Corian is an elegant solid surface material created by blending natural minerals with acrylic resins. This composition provides its unique seamless appearance and non-porous surface, making it resistant to stains and easy to clean.

Similarly, engineered quartz is a durable material made from a combination of natural quartz stone and a polyester resin binder. This binder is what makes it highly resistant to chipping and cracking.

Both materials use a resin binder to achieve their exceptional performance and durability, offering excellent, low-maintenance options for your kitchen or bathroom.

Many years ago, we made a deliberate choice to focus exclusively on fabricating acrylic solid surfaces. This decision was based on our long-standing commitment to the health and safety of our skilled fabricators and our dedication to providing a product we believe in completely.
