New DuPont™ Corian^® Custom Color Program

Revolutionizes Countertop Personalization

Made to Order Service Available Exclusively
Through Specialty Kitchen and Bath Retailers

ATLANTA, May 1 - 3, 2009 – The creation of the revolutionary DuPont™ Corian^® Custom Color program has paved the way for personalized kitchen and bath countertops in virtually any color, texture, shape and finish. From the deepest blue in a beloved Renoir, to the color jade on treetops outside a nearby window, to the plush scarlet of a favorite cashmere scarf, all designers need to do is bring their inspiration to the table.

"Today, there is a premium placed on individuality," said Maureen McGeehan, marketing manager – DuPont Surfaces. "Personalization is driving much of today’s marketplace, and DuPont is driving customization in a category where it’s unexpected, yet possible."

Local authorized DuPont™ Corian^® Custom Color retailers will work side-by-side with customers to understand color choices and embellishments, such as a solid surface or a countertop with added particulates. To ensure accuracy, the retailer will request a color swatch, and within two weeks, customers will receive a color chip from DuPont for their approval. Once approved, a perfectly matched custom countertop will be delivered and installed in approximately four to eight weeks.

"Specialty kitchen and bath retailers are the ideal partners to bring this service to life because they specialize in one-on-one, personal service," McGeehan said. To find a retailer, visit countertops.dupont.com. While there is no minimum quantity on custom orders, cost will vary based on quantity and color complexity.

DuPont™ Corian^® solid surface material can be used in a variety of residential applications including kitchen and bathroom countertops, backsplashes, wet bars, tub decks and tub and shower surrounds. DuPont™ Corian^® is nonporous and with proper cleaning does not promote the growth of mold, mildew or bacteria, and includes a 10-year residential installed transferable limited warranty.
