New Corian colors 2010
This document provides a list of 38 color names under the categories of "Classics" and "Archive" for Corian solid surface material. It notes that library colors are offered on a limited availability basis and includes contact information for local sales representatives to obtain details and pricing for library colors.
How to fabricate solid surface (corian) backsplash
The document discusses the benefits of cove backsplashes for solid surface countertops and provides instructions for fabricating cove backsplashes. It notes that cove backsplashes provide a seamless transition from countertop to backsplash that improves appearance, sanitation and convenience. However, cove backsplashes are often overlooked due to the cost and lack of know-how required for fabrication. The document then provides a step-by-step process for fabricating cove backsplashes using common shop tools, in order to make this option more accessible and reduce the cost barrier.
Whats your color personality ?
This document is an advertisement for DuPont that includes information such as the client name, ad title, featured products, and call to action text. It promotes a color personality quiz and chance to win a home design consultation by scanning a QR code linked to DuPont's website. The ad features images of quartz and solid surface materials in various colors that could be used to reflect a homeowner's personality and interests.
Social media is here to Stay.
The document discusses starting and using social media for a business. It recommends first creating a website, then focusing social media efforts on Pinterest and YouTube. For Pinterest, the document instructs how to create boards, tag locations, and include website information to drive traffic. For YouTube, it suggests making short videos by setting music to photos from Pinterest boards and including contact details. Proper titling and tagging of videos can help them rank highly in searches.
What's next for Social Media?
This document is the table of contents for Volume 4, Issue 4 of the magazine "Countertops & Architectural Surfaces" published by the International Surface Fabricators Association. The issue includes articles on solid surface countertops installed on a bookmobile in Germany, an overview of ADA requirements for countertops, using soapstone as a countertop material, a profile of a concrete countertop fabricator, ensuring shop safety compliance, and adapting sales strategies for the current economy. The document also lists information about the magazine publisher, staff, and how to contact ISFA.
Solid Surface trends
The winners of the Innovations in Design Competition were announced. CREA Diffusion, a company located in France, took the top prize for their Art Gallery project. The article discusses some of the top solid surface trends for 2011 and beyond, including an increased interest in 3D thermoforming, green surfaces, custom sinks, and the use of solid surface in furniture and other OEM applications.
Solid Surface thermoforming
This document discusses solid surface thermoforming and provides guidance on the process. It begins by emphasizing the design potential of solid surface thermoforming and provides an example of a kitchen countertop with a dramatic drop edge. It then describes the thermoforming process, including heating solid surface to a flexible state, shaping it, and allowing it to cool and harden in the new form. Key considerations for the process like material type and oven selection are also covered.

Plinth assem dwg
The document provides assembly drawings for a plinth system made of Corian pearl gray material. It will include 4 plinth sections of varying lengths that decrease in size, aligned with and supporting granite tread sections. Corian risers will be installed to coordinate with the granite treads. Sections, details, materials, and assembly are shown to scale for installation.
Back Splash options
The document shows 5 different pattern options (A-E) for a solid surface counter splash. Pattern details include dimensions and a note that patterns can be interchanged. Scale drawings provide more details on sections and dimensions of the patterns.

Solid Surface On The Cutting Edge. 1
Solid Surface materials like Corian can be used for more than just flat countertops. Designers appreciate that it can be molded into complex shapes through thermoforming and machining, allowing for unique, sculptural designs. Solid Surface provides designers with almost limitless creative possibilities for abstract lighting fixtures, speakers, inlays, and other applications beyond traditional surfaces. To get involved in this type of specialized Solid Surface work, fabricators need to invest in CNC machines, ovens, and software while finding architects, designers, and shops interested in more experimental uses of the material.
