How thick is a Corian backsplash?
We are standardizing all DuPont™ Corian® sheet world-wide in an effort to provide more consistent sheet gauge to our valued partners. As a result, Corian® half-inch sheet will be produced to tighter tolerance with a target thickness of 12.0 mm (472 mils).
How much does a sheet of Corian weigh?
approximately 130 lbs.
Because of the weight (each 1/2″ [12 mm] sheet is approximately 130 lbs. [59 kg]) and sharpness of sheet edges, proper safety shoes and appropriate gloves should be worn. All individual sheets must be handled by two people and carried on edge with one hand under to support, and one hand over to control the sheet.
How is Corian made?
A solid surface or Corian counter is made by blending acrylic polymers with other minerals and stone-derived materials. This acrylic polymer mix is poured into molds to make half-inch-thick sheets. The composition is consistent all the way through; in other words, it is solid and is exactly the same inside and out.
Can you use silicone on Corian?
