Need a hip, attractive, durable counter? Try to top these.

Arctic Blast: The Arctic Series is not the manufacturer’s typical Corian product. Calling it “the next evolution of surface translucency,” the company has created five new offerings that are a combination of white and a tinted backdrop color that emits a ghostly glow when lit from underneath. Available in a 1/2-inch thickness, the product can be thermoformed, bent, and textured. DuPont. 800-426-7426. www.countertops.dupont.com.

Standard Pacific released first-quarter earnings post market close last night that beat Wall Street analysts' posted predictions. After a near brush with death in 2008, and life-support from MatlinPatterson's real estate funds, Standard Pacific's strategic, operational, and tactical planning and execution are playing well in what continues to be an adverse market environment in most of its competitive arenas.
