Twenty years of proof - Corian® countertops stand the test of time!

When The Ivey Spencer Leadership Centre constructed their guest rooms in 1992, DuPont™ Corian® countertops were selected for the bathrooms as they were both functional and aesthetically-appearling.  And, twenty years down the road, the initial investment in DuPont™ Corian® paid off; the countertops proved that they could stand the test of time, and they ultimately survived a series of guest room renovations.
 

The decision was made to renovate the guest rooms at The Ivey Spencer Leadership Centre to bring a more "trendy" appeal to each room and to address the general wear-and-tear that the rooms had undergone over the years. As the initial renovation planning began, each component of the rooms was evaluated and decisions were made as to what needed to be updated. To much delight, the Corian® countertops were still in spectacular condition - so much so that the decision was made to keep the countertops and to simply update the space around them.
 
"With the addition of a modern wood skirt re-facing, the bathroom vanities now look brand new. I was incredibly surprised at how well the Corian® countertops looked - and still look - nearly twenty years after their initial install," said Derek Grimaldi, General Manager at The Ivey Spencer Leadership Centre. "In addition to their spectacular condition, the countertops still fit in incredibly well with today's design trends."
 

The renovations have proven to be a worthwhile investment, and guests at The Ivey Spencer Leadership Centre are now enjoying an incredibly modern and welcoming environment. Here's to another 20+ years of proving that an investment in Corian® can be an investment that lasts a lifetime!
