Corian sinks: do people like them?

Corian sinks: do people like them?

I have noticed in some of my website traffic statistics that multiple people have found my website or blog on Google by asking this question. Do people like Corian sinks?

As with almost anything, there are those who love them and think they are the best thing that can happen to a kitchen countertop. On the other hand, I often come across people who absolutely hate their Corian sink. And by the way, I’m saying “Corian” sink, but it’s actually the same with all solid surface brands. Although there are serious and definite differences in the quality of one solid surface sump to another, the issues that determine whether people like them or not are basically the same.

The main thing people love about their Corian sinks is the undercounter recessed installation. Provides a smooth ride for any crumbs or mess you wipe off the countertop. There is no part of the sink above the counter, so there is nothing in the way that can catch the crumbs and cause the edges of the sink to shoot up, which would take extra effort to clean.

Another benefit that makes people love your Corian sink is the fact that there is nothing to seal or caulk. It’s just that it’s nice and simple without any maintenance other than basic cleaning.

What most people complain about with Corian sinks is the staining that will occur if you don’t care about keeping the sink clean. Life keeps people very busy and the hectic routine of the day can make it more likely that you will dump your last coffee in the sink and then dance out the door before it goes down the drain. If things like coffee, tea, or other colored liquids are allowed to sit in the sink and are not cleaned almost immediately, the yellowish stain becomes a major source of unhappiness for the owner.

If stained, they can be put back in good new condition with vigorous cleaning, but most homeowners don’t know exactly how to do vigorous cleaning. They usually give it a gentle clean and maybe let the sink sit with bleach and then wring it out. That alone won’t do it, but I’ll cover it in another article.

Do people like Corian sinks? Yes. And no.
