Challenges

• Constructing a stylish bath and shower area with minimal seaming for a smooth, continuous design
• Choosing a durable, practical surface that could withstand daily use with water
• Finding a surface that can meet specific design considerations, such as the routing of custom textures, use of custom edge treatments, and use with glass and stainless steel

Solutions

• Versatile Corian surfaces provided a seamless, clean, modern look that can be used in a variety of applications including: bath surround, tub deck, shower stall walls and floor, and vanity top
• Durable, yet flexible, Corian surfaces were thermoformed for optimal drainage and custom cut to fit with steel and glass elements
• Corian used on shower floor was routed into a grid pattern for both design consistency and added traction for the homeowner
