You’ll also have to reseal your quartzite countertop annually to combat the natural porosity and reinforce your cabinets to account for the added weight.

Corian® is a nonporous surface that won’t absorb stains, so you shouldn’t try to stain these counters. If you’re unhappy with the look of your Corian® countertops, you can try to resurface them by sanding them back to their original shine, or you can paint them to match your kitchen aesthetic.
