Fw: [OT] Granite worktops

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There are other resin products - but none like Corian

Corian themselves (DuPont) have a Chinese version they sell - Montpellier
- and even that isnt anywhere near as good - it's the stuff B&Q sell.

We also tried Apollo with is a product similar to Silestone, Minerelle,
etc - and they do stain easily. We stuck a banana (unopened) and half an
hour later, you had a nice yellow stain - needed sanding to remove.

Corian is 13mm think, Montpellier is 13mm, Apollo is 6mm, and some of the
other cheaper products are only 3mm thick. You can do much less with them.

A mate's got it in his kitchen and it looks like is wears pretty well...

There are also a few other Corian like products around but their name
escapes me at the moment.
