DuPont has launched its latest collection of DuPont™ Corian® solid surfaces: the translucent Illumination Series. The Illumination Series, which includes four new colors – Mint Ice, Strawberry Ice, Lime Ice and Glacier Ice – was inspired by light, an essential component in today’s building materials.
Corian's new range
When lit from behind, the colors allow much more light to pass through than other colors from Corian®, combining the many dimensions of light with a material that can be formed, bent, textured and cut, and allowing builders to create stunning, yet unexpectedly imaginative, sensorial environments.
“This is another innovation from DuPont, the science company that set the standard for solid surface materials,” said Tom Schuler, vice president and general manager, DuPont Building Innovations. “In addition to the existing benefits Corian® offers, consumers can now see Corian® in a whole new light. This is another example of how DuPont continues to use science to provide new opportunities for architects and designers, and to offer new experiences for consumers.”
The DuPont™ Corian® Illumination Series is available in North America through DuPont distributors. It also is available in Europe and will soon be available worldwide.
DuPont™ Corian® is nonporous and does not promote the growth of mold, mildew or bacteria, and carries a 10-year residential installed transferable limited warranty. Scratches are easily removed without marring its beauty and uniformity of color. Available in a wide range of colors, Corian® can be thermoformed into custom shapes and contours, sandblasted, routed, carved, laser-etched and backlit, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
