In line with modern hygiene requirements, Corian® Solid Surface is a non-porous surface that is easy to clean, disinfect and decontaminate.
We live in a historical moment in which the essential values of our lives – but also behind architecture and design projects – are rapidly changing: health, safety and ecological awareness are key factors in everyone's daily life. This pushes companies and designers towards conscious choices and great rigour in the creation of products.
Attention to healthy environments and sustainability are central to the realisation of Corian® Solid Surface: a durable, non-porous material that does not encourage the growth of microbes. Its surface can be easily and effectively cleaned and disinfected using commercially available cleaning products. In addition, because it can be jointed without creating voids, Corian® Solid Surface further minimises the presence of dirt and germs.
For this reason, we find many excellent case studies using Corian® Solid Surface not only in the domestic or commercial sector, but also in the healthcare field, where hygienic performance is a key factor: major hospitals, private clinics, beauty salons and various health and personal care institutions choose Corian® Solid Surface for interior cladding.
When designing today's healthcare facilities, each surface must offer an attractive design and high performance. Corian® Solid Surface combines style and ease of maintenance, allowing you to design environments that are easy to work in, more durable and easier to clean, and to contribute to sustainable building design.
The best way to sanitise surfaces is regular cleaning: performed with a normal household disinfectant, it can kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria in less than 10 minutes. Many products that are described as "antimicrobial", based on specific photocatalytic properties, often do not perform as well as they claim. Any slower or incomplete disinfection action should be greeted with scepticism.
Corian® Solid Surface has recently been awarded the prestigious independent certification "Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort Gold". This important certification includes the strictest European regulations and voluntary industry performance standards. This means that the product has a very low release of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and contributes to improved indoor air quality.
