Hop on the Hogwarts Express! We’ll take you on the journey of how SurfaceLink used their magic to restore and refinish the Corian countertops at Universal Studios’ Harry Potter World.
Within the Wizarding World of Harry Potter of Universal Studios, behind the Leaky Cauldron, lies an alley of shops, entertainment and restaurants called Diagon Alley. Down this pathway of all things wizardesque, you can spend the day on the Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts thrill ride, test out wizarding equipment, and even buy some Quidditch supplies. Once you’ve exhausted all your energy (and magic), you can stop by the vendors to quench your thirst with some refreshing ButterBeer.
The food and beer carts, like in any theme park, are the most popular stops for most muggles (the Wizarding World term for non-magic folks).
Constant use of these beer carts led to scratches, dings and dull areas to the Corian solid surface countertops leaving those at Universal to wonder, “Is there a spell to remove all these issues? Who will repair these Corian countertops and bring them back to life?”
Our SurfaceLink Certified Technician, Calvin, was the countertop wizard for the job! Calvin worked all through the night restoring the Corian countertops. With our patent-pending Watermist Refinish, we were able to make all those scratches vanish and liven the solid surface countertops to like-new conditions. No dust or mess was left behind. In fact, Harry Potter patrons enjoyed the ButterBeer carts the very next morning! The results were magical to say the least.
