Hi Dean. Thank you for your question. The island in this kitchen is 14'-0" long. I wanted to sculpt the island with no seams and Corian was the perfect solution. There are no regrets. Red wine, tea and coffee spills are cleaned easily with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It can be buffed periodically to smooth out any fine scratches. I would suggest you view local applications in your area and order a sample online from Corian to experiment with. Corian is a very versatile product. We used Casearstone on the perimeter countertop. It looks fabulous together! This house recently sold and the new owner loves his new kitchen. No complaints whatsoever. If you have a great installer you should not be able to see any seams.

How large is your island? There are other materials to consider. Dekton is great and very durable, heat-resistant product. Price is comparable to granite. For a tighter budget you can look at large format porcelain tiles that can be cut and fitted together to appear like stone. You will be limited to about 10'-0" in that application.

There are granite slabs that come larger than 10'-0" but you have to take the time to search and you will be very limited in your selection.

Cheers,

Lisa, thanks so much for your quick response. Right now our island design would be 80" wide by 106" long with some waterfall on the front and all along the fridge side, would be more square than linear. I've attached a picture that further shows how it will be. Thanks for the links, will check on tile and dekton options.

You're welcome. That is a huge island! For the proportion of this island I think Corian would be your best bet. The top is so large no matter what you use there will be seams. With Corian those seams will not be noticeable if installed by an experienced professional. Keep me updated!
