Engineered Stone Countertops: Durable, Hygienic & Low-Maintenance

Overview of Engineered Stone Countertops

Stone countertops made from engineered stone consist of a blend of artificial quartz and resin which give you the benefit of having a consistent colour, exceptional durability and very little maintenance. Engineered stone countertops also resist scratching, staining, heat and bacteria making them the perfect hygienic, non-porous surface for your kitchen, bathroom or island. If you want a stylish, durable upgrade to your current countertop, engineered stone is for you! There are many different texture choices available to fit just about any design and still be low-maintenance.

Advantages of Engineered Stone Countertops

Scratch and Stain Resistance

The composition of engineered stone has a crust of fine particles of quartz. Today, this material offers excellent resistance to scratches because of its ability to withstand the cuts that make up daily wear and tear. Besides, the surface of engineered stone being non-porous safeguards it from engraining stains from spills, thus enabling easy and predictable cleaning, while preserving a clean and homogeneous look for a long time.

Hygienic, Non-Porous Surface

Engineered Stones are non-porous materials that do not allow moisture or bacterial growth; therefore, they are easier to sanitize when used in kitchens and bathrooms. The seamless surface can be consistently cleaned and wiped with cleaners, therefore saving you time and creating a healthier living environment without the need for sealants or treatments.

Color and Pattern Consistency

Uniformity in color, pattern and texture are features of engineered stone that exist throughout the slabs, edges and counter surfaces. Because of the use of controlled manufacturing practices the amount of veining and pigment variation is minimized allowing for cohesive design, consistent quality of fabrication, and predictable replacement of products during installation and with multiple slab jobs.

Low Maintenance and Longevity

Engineered stone has a low maintenance level even with heavy usage. In addition to wiping up spills quickly, use a soft cloth and mild dish soap for cleaning and do not use abrasive pads. Extremely durable, engineered stone is resistant to heat, impact, discoloration, and shows little to no signs of micro scratches.

Engineered Stone Countertops

Quartz countertops made from a mixture of natural minerals (quartz) and synthetic resins are engineered to provide a very durable non-porous work surface that is resistant to staining, scratching, and heat. Each manufactured slab has been engineered to have a consistent look in its color and pattern while providing a variety of textures and edge profiles that can match any design style. These quartz countertops are easy to clean with most general-purpose cleaners making them sanitary for household use, and they will remain sanitary for a long time with very little ongoing care. A great material for high-end homes.

F&Q About Engineered Stone Countertops

Is engineered stone heat resistant?

Engineered stone can withstand a typical kitchen's level of heat and hot pots, but long-term exposure to extreme temperatures should be avoided where possible. When cooking with hot pots, protect the engineered stone surface with a trivet or heat pad to keep it looking good for many years to come.
Undermounted sinks can be mounted to engineered stone when they are adequately supported with a compatible substructure. Inset and edge-mount options are also available; both provide a clean line, little or no gap and easy to clean around the sink area.
Because it’s non-porous, engineered stone requires no sealant. Regular cleaning with a mild cleaning agent and water will keep your engineered stones looking new, but do not use any harsh abrasives as they may scratch the surface and create dullness.
Maintenance of this material is easy: simply use a soft towel to wipe off spills, use mild detergent and avoid using abrasive pad for cleaning. You do not need to seal; the non-porous surface will not absorb stains, and by doing regular maintenance, it will retain color, texture, and durability.
