Pomme 2 Report post Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Hi all, For LG Hi-Macs, to save cost pls go to the distributor, Luxx Newhouse Pte Ltd directly. They are located @Sungei Kadut. If u need to know more on the product, samples or even in-house demonstration, you can tried to ontact William or Ms Nor directly. In fact, they have done all the in-house testing on all solid surface brands like corian, staron, cresto, etc. How do I know it? I was their ex-staff in A&P/marketing team. Their Portfolio: TCS actress Kym Ng home, Brunei Embassy, The Pier, The Jade@Bt Batok. Can try visit their website. ------------------------------------- Hi poseido_gal, of course u can placed the appliances directly on top the soilid surface.

Smallboy 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 I install Corian top for my kitchen counter. Honestly dont know the difference bet Bellus and Corian. Now barely 2 weeks into my new house, my Corian top got lots of scratches. Wondering if I make the right decision to have Corian. Might as well go for cheaper brand. SIGH. What's the big deal with Corian anyway? No offense to anyone but I am just frust with the product and price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No offense to anyone but I am just frust with the product and price. hi smallboy, Corian is actually the only material that is approved by the national sanitation foundation on direct food contact.... due to its non porous feature, any stains or scratches can be easily removed using detergent or scouring pad. any cracks or burn marks can be easily repaired as well Corian is a scratch resistant material.. not scratch proof.... only corian will give u a 10 yr limit product warranty..... hope i can let u have more understanding in Corian products Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smallboy 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2009 is it white or black? Heard scatches on these two colours very visible. That's why I avoided white and black..... I chose grey. SIGH... still more scratches after 1 month now. Aggrrr....... getting more upset as I see the scratches. I found the culprit. The bottom of my plates and bowls got some 'unfinished' sharp edges......... I sand down these edges now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spearhawk 1 Report post Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) hi all, was given a Urban Works solid top...anyone used it before? thanks! Edited August 2, 2009 by spearhawk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidfung 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2009 hi all, was given a Urban Works solid top...anyone used it before? thanks! hi spearhawk, urban works solid top is actually not 100% acrylic. it is a polyester material. which means it is porous and does not have high heat resistance and scratch resistance. if the material is porous, that means if u spill and wine on the top, it will be absorb into the material and thus creating a patch of wine stain on the top. usual place will be the sink area, as there are moist and especially the soap area. the material will have a patch of stain at the soap area. maybe u would like to consider corian solid surface as it is a 100% acylic material and its non porous. feel free to give me a call for a non obligated appointment. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
