Corian tabletop - williamcharrison - 07-16-2007 04:34
My corian tabletop mysteriously developed 2 sharp edged cracks while
I was parked with the levelers down. I realize that it should be
replaced by a professional but I wonder if anything I did contributed
to the cracking. Also, what should I expect to pay for the job?

I've been warned about putting very hot items on corian; i.e.,
pots and pans - always use a trivet of some sort. Is it possible
that heat caused the cracks?

Chuck,
Corian can, in many cases, be repaired invisibly. During the early
90's BB used some 1/4" Corian glued to plywood. While the two
materials expand and contract about the same with changes in
temperature, the best bet is to use 1/2" Corian over support strips.
If your table top can be unscrewed from underneath, I would take it
to a kitchen design/installation dealer that specializes in Corian.
They can probably repair it to good as new condition. Cost of repair
will be much less than a new one which will also vary greatly
depending on how the edge was/is styled and built.

Anyone have any experience with cracking of the corian on the dining
room table? Mine has cracked in two places and I was told by the local
table and counter shop that it can't be repaired because part of it has
lifted (with razor sharp edges).

Been gone to California for a week or so. I did not see a response to you
question. Corian will not crack unless it is unstable and moving around. The
only repair is a new one and figure out why the original broke.

It is an off-white, if I had to guess I would say bone.

I never got a reply from you. I am a terrible judge of color but
I know it is off white.
