 CORIAN
CORIAN COUNTERTOPS WERE FIRST
INTRODUCED BY ‘DUPONT’ COMPANY,
FORTY YEARS AGO AND SINCE THEN IT
HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR
MATERIAL USED OVER THE YEARS.
IT IS COMPOSED OF ACRYLIC POLYMER
AND ALUMINA TRIHYDRATE (ATH),
CORIAN IS MANUFACTURED IN THREE
THICKNESSES:
6 MILLIMETRES (0.24 IN)
12 MILLIMETRES (0.47 IN)
19 MILLIMETRES (0.75 IN)
 MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS

• DAMAGES CAUSED TO CORIAN

COUNTERTOPS CAN BE REPAIRED EASILY
• CORIAN WORKS BRILLIANTLY TOGETHER
WITH MATERIALS LIKE STAINLESS STEEL,
WOOD, AND GLASS
• EASY TO CLEAN
• HYGIENIC MATERIAL BECAUSE IT IS A
NON-POROUS MATERIAL, BACTERIA AND
MOULD HAVE NOWHERE TO HIDE. WHEN
CORIAN LOOKS CLEAN, IT REALLY IS
CLEAN
• AVAILABLE IN ANY COLOUR

 DIS ADVANTAGES OF CORIAN

• CORIAN IS EASY TO CLEAN, BUT IT’S NOT AS DURABLE AS

STONE COUNTERTOPS LIKE GRANITE
• IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. THOUGH THE PRICE OF CORIAN IS NOT
AS HIGH AS THAT OF GRANITE, IT CAN BE COSTLIER THAN
THE OTHER TYPES OF MATERIALS, WHICH ARE USED IN
BUILDING THE COUNTERTOP.
• ALTHOUGH IT IS A STRONG MATERIAL, DIRECT HEAT AND
SHARP OBJECTS SHOULD BE AVOIDED AS THEY COULD CAUSE
DAMAGE.
• CORIAN WORKTOP CANNOT WITHSTAND HEAT, MAY DENT
EASILY WHEN HEAVY OBJECTS FALL ON THE SURFACE.
 PRICE IN SQ./FIT

• CHINA 1250 TO 1500

• DUPONT’ 1650 TO 3500
• JUPITER CORIAN EXPENSIVE MORE THAN 2400

 HARD WOOD
•Hardwood is wood from dicot
angios perm trees
•The term may also be used for the
trees from which the wood is
derived;
 HARD WOOD

•Hardwoods have a more complex
structure than softwoods
•Dark in colour
•Expensive
•Slower growth rate
•Higher density
•Heavy in weight
•More fire resistant than soft wood
•Strong in compression and
tension
 HARD WOOD
Examples - Oak
•Light in colour
•Heavy
•Ring porous
•Open grain
•Hard to work with.
•When treated it looks classy and
elegant

 HARD WOOD
Examples - Maple
•Maple is so hard and resistant to
shocks that it is often used for
bowling alley floors.
•Its diffuse evenly sized pores
give the wood a fine texture and
even grain.
•Maple that has a curly grain is
often used for violin backs.
•Burls, leaf figure, and birds-eye
figures found in maple are used
extensively for veneers.

oBecause It is not grown
specially for timber but instead
have timber as by product

 SOFT WOOD
•Softwood is wood from gymnosperm
trees such as conifers
•Softwood is the source of about 80%
of the world's production of timber
•Softwoods are not necessarily softer
than hardwoods
•The woods of long leaf pine, fir, and
yew are much harder in the
mechanical sense than
several hardwoods
 SOFT WOOD
Characteristics
•Cheap comparative to hard wood
•Faster rate of growth
•Lower density
•Softer than hardwood
•Light in colour
•Light in weight
•Poor fire resistant
•Strength in tension but week in
sheer
 SOFT WOOD

 SOFT WOOD
Examples –Red wood
•The best quality redwood comes
from the heartwood which is
resistant to deterioration due to
sunlight, moisture and insects
•Redwood burls have a "cluster of
eyes" figure.
•They are rare and valuable.

NATURAL WOOD
SEASONING
•Reduces moisture content of wood
•There are two main reasons :
i. Woodworking: when wood is used as a construction material,
whether as a structural support in a building or in wood
working objects, it will absorb or desorb moisture until it is in
equilibrium with its surroundings. Equilibration (usually drying)
causes unequal shrinkage in the wood, and can cause damage to
the wood if equilibration occurs too rapidly. The equilibration must
be controlled to prevent damage to the wood.
ii. Wood burning: when wood is burned, it is usually best to dry it first.
 COMPOSITE WOOD
 Composite wood is a general term for built up bonded
products, consisting either wholly of natural wood or of wood
in combination with metals, plastics, etc.

 Forms of composite wood :

I. Plywood

II. Laminated Wood

III. Core Boards

IV. Sandwich Boards

V. Fiber Boards

VI. Form Board

 PLYWOOD
 Plywood is the term applied to glued wood construction built
of veneers in such a manner that the grain of each veneer is at
right angle to that of the adjacent veneer in the assembly. This
method is called the cross-bonded construction.

 The most significant advantage is the modification of strength

properties to a maximum advantage.

 The outer plies in a plywood panel are called faces, or face

and back and the centre ply or plies, the core.

 The core may consist of veneer, timber or various combinations

of veneers and timber.

 Plywood is used for interior walls, exterior walls, floors, doors

and fitments.
 LAMINATED WOOD
 Laminated wood may be defined as a built up product made of wood
layers called laminae, all laid with their grain parallel and glued or
otherwise fastened together.

 The laminae may vary as to species, number, size, shape and

thickness.

 Glued laminated wood construction or the structural material

resulting from glued lamination, is called glulam.

 It is used for furniture parts, cores of veneered panels, sports goods,

aero plane hangars, auditoriums, exhibition halls, churches, green
houses, gymnasia, theatres, warehouses, etc.
 CORE
BOARDS
 A core board is a composite board built up of a core composed of
strips of wood of various dimensions glued together or otherwise
jointed together to form a slab, which is in turn glued between two
or more outer veneers with the direction of the grain of the core
strips running at right angles to that of the adjacent veneers.

 It is called a batten-board when the strips of wood are not more than
7.5cm wide, a block-board when the size is not more than 2.5cm
and a lamin-board when each strip of wood has a thickness not
more than 7mm.

 It is used for doors and partitions due to its low weight, better
stability, good acoustic and heat insulation properties.
SANDWICH
BOARDS
 A sandwich board is a general term for built up boards having a core of
light material, faced on both sides with a relatively thin layer of
material having high strength properties.

 Sandwich construction are composites of different material bonded

together into a unit, to achieve a combination desirable properties
which are not attainable with the constituent themselves individually.

 The construction is also economical, since the relatively expensive facing

material is used only in small quantities and the core materials are
inexpensive.

 Sandwich construction finds application in aircraft components, motor

boats, table tops, flush doors and containers.
 FIBER
BOARDS
 A fiberboard is a sheet of material made from fibers of wood. The
wood is first defibrated or pulped and the fibers are then
interfelted into a mat and consolidated by pressure and heat.

 Bonding agents and supplementary materials may be added at the

felting stage to improve mechanical properties.

 Fiberboards are used as core material in core boards and sandwich

boards.

 These are manufactured for the use as panels, insulating and cover
material in buildings and for components of cabinets, cupboards.
