Corian upstand and tiles

[Lelivre]

The fabricators are saying it looks naff to tile to the upstand. If we tile it should be to the worktop. Upstands are for painted walls.

But...is I wanted to live with the kitchen before deciding to tile or not. But I am thinking a Corian worktop/upstand join/edge is more hygienic than a tiled/worktop one having had the latter.

Any thoughts?!

I agree that upstand + tiles just looks wrong.

We have tiles to our dorian worktop (no upstand). Has never struck me that it's not hygienic?

Perhaps it was the way our tiles were finished; quite a heavy line of grout and sealant. I thought it was a bit of a dirt trap. The upstand although a separate part looks seamless with the tiny amount of glue used. But I probably will want to tile...
