TEXTURE (CNC/BAS-RELIEF)
In certain colours and thicknesses, DuPont™ Corian reveals its full radiance and depth
when it is exposed to light. This quality lends DuPont™ Corian® not only to the creation
of atmospheric room lighting, but also to sensuously-shaped lamps, dramatically
illuminated furniture, and screens which reveal an intricately-carved pattern when
backlit.
In particular, lighter and solid colours are the best for use in this kind of application.
These kinds of effects can be obtained by locally reducing the material’s thickness via
routing or engraving. For greater light transmission, DuPont™ Corian® can be reduced
to
a
thickness
of
2-3
mm
to
allow
more
light
to
pass
through.
When
a
specific
point
of
light is required, an integrated LED light source positioned in the back of a hole is a good
option. This type of set-up is often used to create a logo or signage.
®
DuPont™ Corian® makes it possible to obtain innovative three dimensional effects,
which gives a new perspective to architectural design and home decoration.
Creating a 3D texture on DuPont™ Corian® can be done through CNC routing or via basrelief. With the bas-relief technique, the DuPont™ Corian® panel is heated to 160°C and
then pressed on a “stamp” with the required pattern.
SAND BLASTING
Just like wood, glass and other materials, DuPont™ Corian® can be sandblasted with
different mediums. Playing with the roughness and depth of the blasting can create
numer
