Kitchen Stone Benchtops

Engineered stone is a man-made slab comprising approximately 95% natural quartz aggregates blended with polymer pigments and resin. Quartz is one of the toughest substances on the planet, but when it is blended with polymer resins, the resulting engineered stone benchtops become heat-proof, resistant to cracking and virtually indestructible for many, many years. Because of their robustness, engineered stone benchtops are practically maintenance-free. They don’t need regular resealing like some natural stone alternatives and can handle the clatter of a busy kitchen. Being chip, scratch and stain resistant, engineered stone benchtops are well equipped to handle the demands of years of heavy use and can be wiped down and cleaned with standard cleaning solutions and cloths.

Engineered stone options are affordable and beautiful, and with the removal of any ongoing maintenance costs, they make an attractive investment for anyone looking to equip their kitchen with benchtops that look fantastic and can keep their ‘good as new’ appearance.

While you can’t go wrong with either engineered stone or natural granite when selecting the perfect material for your new bathroom or kitchen benchtops, there are subtle differences with either choice. To the untrained eye, it’s quite hard to tell the difference between the two. With granite, no two pieces are the same. Being a naturally occurring material, it is impossible to replicate two exact slabs of natural stone, so nature itself designed the final pattern, grain and colour of your natural granite benchtop – which can feel exceptionally luxurious when using it. While there is more consistency in the final product of an engineered stone benchtop, your natural granite top will be uniquely yours, contributing to a special finish for your room.
