The new vanity for the small bathroom is finally in place. Its style matches the one we installed in the bathroom adjoining our bedroom, right down to the sink and Corian countertop.
Corian
is interesting stuff. It’s a composite material made from acrylic polymer and
reconstituted, pulverized natural minerals, in a ratio of about one-third resin
to two-thirds mineral compound. Building a Corian countertop takes some effort.
In my case, the top began as a half-inch-thick sheet, cut to accommodate the
sink. That sheet, along with edge strips and the sink itself, was then
laminated together to form a single solid piece.
It’s
a pretty thing, and it’s durable. Best of all, it requires very little caulking
from me.
