Dupont is a well respected name for many areas of home living. You may have heard of the brand with regards to kitchen counters. If you thought they only offered one type of countertop product, think again. Dupont offers a range of countertop materials that also includes natural stone.
Dupont carries four main counter products for home use: Corian, Zodiac, Simplicity and Granite certified by Dupont. All of the products come with a limited warranty (usually 10 years).
Simplicity, Zodiac and Corian counters all have a non-porous surface that resists staining as well as growth of bacteria and molds.
Zodiac is slightly different from the other types because it contains 93% quartz crystals. Quartz is a hard, natural substance that is admired for its beauty. Like Corian and Zodiac, the surface doesn’t need to be sealed. Zodiac can be used for many purposes including as a wall surface and facings.
Because actual stone is used within the material, many varieties of Zodiac have visible crystals. Some Zodiac countertop varieties have large crystals and some are barely visible. Many new colors have been introduced this year in keeping up with current trends.
Corian and Simplicity are man made solid surface counters. A definite advantage of Corian and Simplicity is that minor scratches in the surface can be repaired. Corian has a huge range of colors and patterns to choose from.
For those wanting natural stone, try Granite Certified by Dupont. Their granite has been carefully selected and has strict quality controls to offer a high quality product. They work with installation professionals who have been specially trained to properly install their granite countertops.
If you haven’t yet looked at Dupont’s entire counter top line, their selection is definitely worth a look.
