Recent Questions
- Q: Why does a shop need to be certified to fabricate Corian residentially?
- A: Residential installations carry a 10 year installed warranty. Both DuPont and C.H. Briggs financially support the warranty. DuPont wants to ensure that the product is fabricated and installed to the most current specifications to prevent warranty claims. This is accomplished by requiring individuals working in the shop to be trained and the company to be certified.
- Q: Are there any specific requirements for installation of food service for Corian or Zodiaq?
- A: Yes, these requirements are outlined in the Zodiaq Food Service Bulletin and the Corian Fabrication manual. This information can also be obtained by attending the training sessions for Commercial Food Service installation.
