Could a Corian installer put a thin (like 1/4") layer of Corian over my existing Corian countertop?

Question

My new house has very plain vanilla-colored genuine Corian countertops that are in excellent shape--except they're boring.

Since Corian sheets come in different thicknesses, couldn't an installer just bond a thin new layer onto my current countertops and clean up the edges around the sink and the bullnose with a router?

Why install all new countertops? They are structurally fine, I just want a different color.

Answer 1

I've never heard of doing that but you could check with your local Home Depot and ask them if it can be done....

Answer 2

Corian Sheet Thickness

Answer 3

I don't believe Corian would warranty an installation like that.

They do have a product that a contractor can use to design and cut a contrasting color pattern into the current surfaces.
A contractor would route a pattern (racing stripes, lines, geometric shapes, etc) into the existing top, and fill it with a mix version of Corian, and then sand and polish it. Nothing has to be changed structurally, and the warranty remains intact.

Answer 4

You could check with somebody at Home Depot or some place like that,but years ago I moved into a house that had these horrendous butcher block laminate countertops. I called this place called NuSurface and they came out and sprayed this stuff on it ( I chose a glossy off white and they went back over it with this thing that sprayed droplets of the other two colors I selected - tan & brown). It looked really good and cost only a fraction of what new countertops would.

Answer 5

I have never herd of this. I don't think it would be covered under a warranty. I do know a company that had tried a Solid surface veneer witch was a 1/8" piece of solid surface material on a sub strait and they stopped making it due to problems and they are still doing warranty work 10 yrs later. I do not recommend it
