The colour in Saturday kitchen is a group 1 colour known as Beach Glass and was fabricated a couple of years back now. It’s a funny story as to why it was Corian instead of glass (and when I say funny of course what I truly mean is - mildly interesting with a possible smirk factor). We originally had glass planned for the all new Saturday Kitchen - as those of you who may remember Antony Worrall Thompson jumped ship to ITV (the traitor!!) and BBC rebooted the Saturday morning cooking show using James Martin as the host - but when we attended site with samples etc.. they reflected the entire lighting rig of the studio. It would appear that neither the lovely people at Cactus TV and ourselves (many years dealing with glass I should add) had realised that glass is in fact highly reflective!! It may be perfect for bringing vibrancy and light into your domestic kitchen but in a TV studio it’s a bit of a no go. So we regrouped and decided that Corian was the best option and could at least still add that touch of pizzazz which Cactus were trying to achieve.
As stated in the above parenthesis the humour may be somewhat hard to locate in that tiny tale. However Corian worktops are not so hard to locate. Have a look at our corian page and while you’re there view the splashbacks page as most folk we sell Corian to buy splashbacks aswell thus saving on site costs etc… Have fun!!
