Engineered Stone Benchtops: 4 Premium Options + Benefits

Overview of Engineered Stone Benchtops

The engineered surfaces you would find in the kitchen or bathroom, where natural stone looks like a finish but provides superior strength, are non-porous, stain resistant, and easy to keep clean. These engineered surfaces do not chip, are able to withstand heat, and maintain their consistent colour for years. Engineered surfaces are also easy to maintain with normal cleaning methods. Further, the surface will offer long-term use in both residential and commercial spaces. Thus, they provide a solid, elegant foundation for everyday activity at home or at work.

Advantages of Engineered Stone Benchtops

Durability and Strength

Engineered stone is highly durable, tough against knocks, abrasion, and continued use. As a result, they maintain their overall good condition for years of durable performance in commercial kitchen and high-traffic areas without showing obvious signs of scratching or dulling quickly.

Low Maintenance

Non-porous surfaces are liquid and stain resistant, meaning that they do not need as much cleaning. Regularly wiping down a countertop will help keep it looking like new, and they are also resistant to moisture entering through the surface, making it easier to maintain and keep clean. This makes them healthier and easier to maintain in kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial locations.

Aesthetic Versatility

Engineered stones can be made in a variety of colors, patterns, and all stone slabs have the same pattern from slab to slab. Whether treated with a polished or a matte surface, the materials' surface will hold its finish through regular use allowing perfect coordination of engineered stone with cabinets and all design styles.

Scratch and Heat Resistance

Due to its scratch-resistant and heat-resistant qualities, engineered stone offers protection to kitchen surfaces from both utensils and cookware. Though no engineered stone surface is 100% scratch proof nor heat proof, the engineered stone will resist any marks due to its durable composition, allowing for the surface to keep its fresh look even in a busy, everyday home environment.

Engineered Stone Benchtops

Engineered quartz is a man-made material that combines crushed quartz and resins to create a strong, non-porous surface similar to granite or marble. Manufactured with color and pattern repetition, engineered quartz can resist stains, scratches, and heat damage. Engineered stone edges can be made in almost any shape and are created at the factory by joining two surfaces together to make as smooth a transition as possible between them. Engineered stone surfaces require very little maintenance and are durable enough to be used in modern residential and busy commercial applications. Engineered stone surfaces are hygienic, stain-resistant, and easy to clean.

F&Q About Engineered Stone Benchtops

What are engineered stone benchtops?

The engineered stone benchtops are made by fusing together crushed quartz and resin to create a very dense, smooth, and non-porous material. They mimic the appearance of natural stone while offering greater durability than natural stones/increased strength/uniform coloring and easier maintenance than natural stones do.
Although engineered stone has good resistance to heat for cooking and to hot cookware, it is not a heatproof material. You should use trivets, avoid placing hot cookware directly on the surface, and immediately clean up spills to help protect the surface.
Cleaning is easy - simply use a mild soap and water or detergent/cleaning solution - make sure the cleaner does not contain harsh solvents or abrasive pads. Your benchtop will remain looking new without having to ever reseal it, as it is made of a non-porous material that doesn’t require resealing. You will have very little trouble maintaining your benchtop over time.
Absolutely yes, engineered stone countertops can be specialized for size, shape, thickness, and finish. You can choose between square, eased or full bullnose edge finishes; thickness options are available between 12mm to 20mm also; fabricators will work with you to meet your requirements during this time period.
