Why would warmer to the touch be a plus point? Personally, if i’ve sunk mega bucks into a poxy surface then I want to know every time I touch it that its as cold as my ex wife’s heart.
The seamless thing seems a nice plus point on face value, but if im not mistaken, I believe that under the fancy Corian surface (around 8-10mm down) lies a standard wooden board to which the Corian is bonded. I’ll take a solid material over this every time thank you very much. (or is that Minerva?)
I think Corian is a Dupont (or similar) trademark, and prices seem to be extortionate based on marketing hype alone. If you shop around you can find kitchen surface specialists whom will take a template and cut their own stone/granite etc – usually works out cheaper.
I can see the attraction to a Corian surface finish and was tempted myself at one point – but under certain lighting conditions I found it can occasionally look a bit flat – and resemble a plastic/laminate finish.
In the right colour, and the right kitchen, im sure it can look pretty spiffing. I guess it comes down to how much wedge you’re willing to splash.
