Additional costs for tear out,bullnose edge etc. the total job for 57 s.f. is $3938.00. The product looks to be Samsungs version of Dupont Corian and has a 15 year warranty. Home Depot current promotion is they will throw in for free a integrated double sink of the same material. I can save myself $342.00 if I tear it out myself and I'll probably do that. So what do you guys know about this stuff ? I'm not interested in a debate between this,granite etc. as the wife likes what she picked. Just curious about this product. Thanks |
If you don't want to drop the money for granite, buy Silestone. You can get it virtually any color, texture you want, and it is heat resistent. I had Corian in San Diego, after having Granite in NY. The Corian had scratches and the counter was less than 5 years old. If I had lived in San Diego any longer, the kitchen would have been redone with Granite.
