The dramatic cantilevered staircase project with its extruded ‘pyramids’ of Corian® embodies the material’s key strengths in a variety of ways, as it succeeds here both decoratively and structurally. There are no worries about wear and tear from footfall, as Corian® is robust, resistant, easy to maintain – and even to repair if necessary.

Ross Allen of Timberfusion, who created the dramatic staircase says, “We chose to work with Corian® because this is a completely new build contemporary home with finishes such as wood and stone, but we were particularly impressed by the seamlessness of Corian®, and how easy it is to make compact shapes that look like stone, but in a modern material that also offered the weight saving values. This was particularly useful in this application, as was the fact that, unlike stone, if somehow there was to be any damage, it could be simply repaired on-site.”
