Corian is manufactured in three thicknesses: 6 millimetres (0.24&nbsp;in), 12 millimetres (0.47&nbsp;in), and 19 millimetres (0.75&nbsp;in). Most Corian is manufactured at a DuPont facility near <a href="/en/Buffalo,_New_York" title="Buffalo, New York" class="wl">Buffalo, New York</a>.<a href="#cite_note-3" style="counter-reset: mw-Ref 3;">[3]</a> Cross-section cuts show consistent color and particulate patterning evenly distributed throughout the material, giving rise to the category name "solid surface".

Corian must be sold and installed by a DuPont certified fabricator; such installations come with a 10-year warranty covering both the product and installation, for interior residential applications.<a href="#cite_note-4" style="counter-reset: mw-Ref 4;">[4]</a>
