Corian is one of the first solid surface materials that has had extensive use since it was created by DuPont in the 1960s. While it is suitable for kitchens surfaces, and any other countertop surface, using it for troughs has several benefits.
Wash troughs tend to take up a lot more area than regular vanity units with basins or sinks, so choosing a lower-cost material such as Corian is a wise option to keep overall expenses down.
Other benefits of Corian wash troughs in bathrooms include:
A real perk of Corian is the hygiene it provides. Because it is so non-porous and resists almost anything that touches its surface it is extremely easy to clean and can withstand many harsh cleaning chemicals. This makes it a good choice for industrial and medical settings where effective hygiene is essential.
Choosing a trough in your washroom has many advantages for hygiene too, so pairing this design with Corian materials helps maximise hygiene levels. A trough provides a communal hand washing space that is simple to clean and also causes minimal splashing while offering complete drainage.
Areas where a Corian wash trough can be advantageous include:
Although Corian has the potential for almost unlimited use, these are some common settings where a low-cost and highly-durable material is particularly beneficial.

The following are some frequently asked questions about Corian, wash troughs and the services we provide:
No. Corian is cheaper than granite. Although granite and Corian do not diverge so much on price in terms of materials, installation takes considerably longer. The difficulty and time it takes to install granite will usually make it a much more expensive choice.
Corian is what we call ‘heat resistant’ and not ‘heatproof’, so it is important to minimise any high temperatures on the surface. This is not an issue for bathrooms, but kitchen installations using the material will require pads or alternative surfaces if they have high exposure to heat regularly.
The specific materials in Corian are acrylic polymer and a substance called alumina trihydrate.
Yes. Corian has extensive safety certifications from a wide variety of regulatory bodies. It is non-toxic, non-allergenic and suitable for many different settings.
