DIY SOLID SURFACE/CORIAN COUNTERTOPS

For just a little over $1000.00, our new countertops were on their way to our doorstep. And after a few days of work, our DIY solid surface countertops look absolutely A-MAZ-ING!

We are so thrilled with the results, we wanted to share our experience and give others tips and advice if this is something they would like to consider doing themselves.

First thing you need to understand when looking at purchasing solid surface material is that there are many brands to choose from.

THE PURCHASE

Once we decided white was our color I looked at the different brands and shades (yes, white apparently has shades).

THE TOOLS

Along with the corian itself I had to buy several accessories to finish off the project.

– Glue  – Glue gun – Glue tips – Sanding and polishing kit

THE INSTALLATION

Now that we had everything we needed I was ready to start.  After a deep breath and a mental pep talk I started to measure and cut the pieces.

After all the flat surfaces and edges were cut, I started to glue the pieces together.

The glue isn’t always a perfect color match so if your cuts aren’t exact or completely pressed together along the seam that is where you will see the line.
