I have a white corian and love it. It brightened the kitchen so much. I think the Only thing you can set hot pots on is ceramic tile. I have made trivets out of pretty tiles. Go to the store and find a tile you love buy one or two and then cut felt slides that stick, like for the bottom of a chair leg or buy precut ones. These are great! I use them on lots of things. They are under my coffee pot, toaster, large cutting board, garbage bowl I keep on the counter, anything I move that's kind of big or heavy on the counter. Corian requires no sealing. Only thing that has thought about staining so far was grated carrots, or the skin gratings from carrots. But then I just worked on the spot lightly with a scotch bright pad. I saw somewhere that someone else tried a mr clean eraser n corian. Staining in my integrated white sink is zero. Installed in January 2013. I have had corian in a previous house with no problems also.

Where in Ireland can I purchase the above & what style would you recommend with a grey kitchen. Thank you Siobh Kelly.

My new kitchen counter island is 90 cm high floor to counter surface. What is the ideal stool seat height to sit comfortably under the counter top? I do not want adjustable height stools. Thanks Mike

We need some wall color inspirations for a kitchen with white a cabinets and black countertop. The duck egg blue we have now in some parts does not go with the black countertops. Any suggestions?
