Materials
Non-Porous Surface
A countertop or cabinet surface material that does not absorb liquids, stains, or bacteria because it lacks microscopic pores or openings. Non-porous materials include quartz, solid surface (Corian), stainless steel, and glass. They are highly hygienic, require no sealing, and resist staining — making them ideal for kitchen environments. Non-porous surfaces contrast with porous natural stones like granite and marble that require regular sealing.
