• How about quartz?

    What’s the difference between quartz, corian and Fenix?

  • quartz, is good value, but can stain.

    corian allows you to have seamless moulded sinks and whatever those mini lip splashback things are called. Together this makes it an incredibly practical choice for hard water areas where you inevitably get lime buildup in small cracks and crevices. It can also be repaired.

  • My in-laws have got corian, it’s pretty impressive but I think quite soft compared to more recent composites?

    Pretty soft water where we are, luckily.

  • We were strongly steered away from corian by our kitchen company - apparently it's pretty bad environmentally.

    (We so far just haven't done the kitchen at all, so the most green option taken instead!)

  • I have mounted our Corian sink seamless, and it is really awesome, from a cleaning perspective and touching it is so satisfying. From a DIY perspective it is meh (getting the glue gun for example) but it can be repaired I think even more easily than wood, like sanding, re-glueing pieces into it invisble – but I guess @Dramatic_Hammer someone is mounting this for you, so no DIY advise needed?
