    Reflection Countertop

    I'm looking at replacing my kitchen island with something a bit better designed for me (incorporate a dishwasher and counter height bar). Does anyone know who makes the countertop and what material it is?

    I'm pretty sure the countertops are Corian made by Dupont.

    It's doubtful they're Corian because of the cost. Probably a copy cat, less expensive manmade countertop.

    You might be correct. I thought I remember reading GD used Corian, but of course I cant find it anywhere. All I can see is "solid surface" countertops.

    Either way, Dupont can provide a new countertop if someone desires to make a new island, no clue on their prices or timeline.

    Patrick Industries is who supplies GD with counter tops. Didn't dig deep enough into their site to see if they sell to the general public.

    Dupont's patent has expired and now many manufacturers offer "Solid Surface" countertop material.

    @chemist308 I too doubt that ours is the Dupont product (I priced Corian just 2-3 years ago and it was more expensive than stone then) but I don't know where it comes from.

    I wonder if Grand Design would tell you? Please report if so.

    EDIT: Ooops, @WhittleBurner already solved it. Thanks Marcy.

    I thought it was HI-MACS. This was noted previously on this web site but I could be wrong.

    I used the directions at HI-MACS to repair the scratches as have others. Worked well but then could work on all solid surface counters for all I know.

    Why am I not suprised the info supplied on GDs corporate site is not correct (that is where I got the Patrick Ind link). GD is notorious for not updating manuals or customer support info. Not sure why I even looked there knowing this.

    Hello,
    The main component in these type of countertops is acrylic (think Plexiglass, cast type) with some binders or additives (ATH, epoxy, polyester, fillers, etc.) It can be easily cut with standard carbide tipped tools (saws, routers, lathe tools). It is a thermoplastic polymer rather than a thermoset so it can be thermoformed or vacuum formed. It can be purchased at the big box stores much like plywood in various lengths, widths, and thicknesses.

    Here are a couple of pens I inlaid with cutoff counter scraps.
