How to Get Your Corian Counters to Shine

Corian is a solid surface countertop material trademarked by DuPont. Made of a blend of polymers, Corian is available in a wide range of patterns and colors and is durable and easy to care for. Most Corian countertops have a matte or satin finish that is not shiny, but semi-gloss and high-gloss finishes are also available. Taking proper care of your countertop will keep the finish looking pristine and maintain the original appearance of your investment.
