We usually suggest Home owners not to compare material on basis of prices. If you cover your furniture with Laminate, it is goign to cost very low, but once laminate gets scratches, they are going to stay.
If you want to use stones for some application, high quality, good decorative Italian marble, is going to cost as much as Rs 1500 or more.
Solid Surface or Corian costs Rs 700 to Rs 1300 per sq. ft., sometimes Rs 1400 per sq ft.
Most important thing to know, above prices are for material & installation included.
Why is Cost of Corian in such a wide Range ?
There are 4 common price ranges – there are plain colors, most common are white coloured solid surface & cream solid surface. Special plain colours red, yellow, orange. Solid Surface with small specs (grains ) in it and Solid surface with bigger grains.
Then there are few colours which fall in special range, that is price range of Rs 1300.
All these prices are with installation cost.
Above prices which we spoke about are of material made with high quality standards. Example of companies are Corian, Tristone, LG hi-mac, Samsung.
There is material available in market which is almost half price of above. Some Imported material from China & solid surface Made in India are always cheaper.
Even though these non-standard material is low cost, you will never find them getting used in projects. Reason is experienced Architects and Designers who have tried low cost Solid surface material have already burnt their fingers. These low cost material do not last longer, good chances of getting stains.
Low quality alternative is usually Rs 50 – Rs 100 cheaper then good material. So a Home Owner will never take such chance. A Good Contractor or Designer who wants to take responsibility of his work, will never use low cost Indian & chinese alternative.
For example if a certain colour of a Good Quality Tristone Surface is priced Rs 450 – Rs 500 per sq. ft. , Chinese alternative will cost Rs 400. If you are making your own home, its not worth saving that money & getting material which may not last its glory in long run.
If you want to save money anyways then go for low cost Decorative laminate in your house. But dont try to buy poor quality Solid surface corian & save 20-30% money.
Very valuable article..
Great, Keep it up, I would also like to be a part of it. I am based in Kolkata.
sir, please call us on 9920620009. Thank you for writing from Kolkata
Very useful information. Sir . Is there any workshop or guidelines for us ( new architects ) about installation or about new material related to interior or exterior .
Thank you for writing Snehal !
That is really cool idea, however I am not sure if any corian companies hold demo sessions. I nany case it takes lot of experience to do fabrication work with solid surface so best is to let experienced fabricator do his thing.
I was wondering if we can do 2D designs as well just like corian in tristone as well so that we can have the lighting effect from the inside out? if so, is it possible for me to get a list of dealers of tristone in gujarat?
Good Article. We want to install Corian (6 mm) white for our kitchen top. There is already Granite fixed. Pl advise should we use LG or DuPont Corian.
all top/popular brands of solid surface – provide very reliable and quality products. Usually Fabricators and their supplier will have inclination towards certain brand. However nay top/popular brand will get you quality material.
Dupont is pioneer of S.S. lg also good brand. Eg dupont is like a iphone but lg as if Samsung mobiles. ( Dupont will give like long life comparatively other brands)

What’s the cost for medical grade corian panel?
Sir, we really dont know protocols for medical facility. Corian or Solid Surface materials are Food Grade OK, means they are allowed in Kitchen and eating places. No Hygiene problem. Not sure about Medical dos & donts
Hi
I have a corian counter top at home. It worked well, but now I am having some issues. I am now unable to find anyone to fix problems. Their website does not list any phone numbers of people who work with it. Do you know of people who can work with it?
please find shops which sell corian, they will have fabricators/applicators. Corian related professionals are easily available, may be because of covid situation there could be some temporary issue.
Good article and with my experience, I can vouch for the points mentioned 1. Go for good brand and 2. Cost variations in the branded ones depending on the colour and fabrication work (straight, rounded, etc.)
Any good distributor and installer of coins in Aurangabad Maharahstra?
