Does that have a genuine Corian grip?

Nahh Corian screams 90s, Women want granite these days.

Stylestone is the new granite.

That is one of the products generally referred to as "quartz". I have
about 50 square feet of it stacked next to my garage. It is basically
stone chips and other aggregate in an epoxy matrix.
It is definitely an inferior product to natural stone. It is not
particularly hard to work tho.


Actually not. It requires less maintenance than natural stone. It is
stronger than natural stone (no unseen fissures or cracks) A really nice
looking piece of stone will cost a small fortune. The more ordinary
looking pieces are at the same price point as the quartz products.
Corian ain't cheap either. We'll be picking something out next week for
the new house.

We've had both granite and Corion in houses. The Egg Harbor had all
Corion countertops as well. I've heard good things about Stylestone but
have never seen it.

Corion looks great when new but it can scratch and become marred. The
good thing is that you can refinish it by light sanding and polishing
but I think granite is much better of the two.




We have corian in the kitchen. Still looks great, and we redid the kitchen
at least 15 years ago. But ours is the dark green, with speckles, not
white.
