  • How well does Corian® Quartz withstand heat, scratches and stains?

    Corian® Quartz is resistant to heat, scratching and staining. However, the use of trivets or hot pads is recommended.

Spills should be wiped up quickly; a nonabrasive cleaning pad and a non-bleach cleaning product may be used to remove stubborn or dried spills.

  • Can Corian® Quartz and Corian® Solid Surface be used together?

    Yes. A Corian® Solid Surface sink can be installed in a Corian® Quartz countertop, for example.
