Corian® is a solid surface countertop and made by blending acrylic polymers (plastic) and stone-derived materials. This mixture is then poured into molds to create ½” thick sheets. In the past colour choices were limited but many new designs and colours are becoming readily available.
Marble
Marble is a carbonate rock with a special crystalline texture acquired by recrystallization and heat and pressure during metamorphism. Marble is available in soft hues and a multitude of patterns. It should primarily be used in low traffic applications because it is easily etched and reacts with mild acids such as lemon juice or vinegar. Even though it is soft compared to granite, It has a timeless beauty that will never go out of style.

This is the only countertop made of quartz with bacteria protection, giving it excellent hygienic properties. It is a perfect surface for kitchen countertops, bathrooms, and floors because it uses the least number of joints. It comes in a variety of different shades of color, offering a number of decorative possibilities for any kitchen or bathroom.
