Artificial Granite Countertops: Durable, Non-Porous & Low-Maintenance

Overview of Artificial Granite Countertops

Artificial granite (or engineered stone) countertops offer a non-porous surface which are more durable than natural granite countertops and require very little maintenance. These types of countertops are made up of quartz aggregate material that has been bound together with resin. They have excellent resistance to scratching, staining, and being damaged by heat. Artificial granite provides a consistent colour, pattern and high end timeless design in both kitchens and bathrooms. The surface is easy to clean and retains its bright finish.

Advantages of Artificial Granite Countertops

Durability

Granite countertops built to an engineering standard offer scratch and impact resistance which creates a durable surface that can support high volumes of daily use and maintain both structural integrity and appearance throughout years of use. Their consistency in composition, as well as their high quality control standards, help maintain these properties for the life of the product.

Non-Porous Surface

The moisture-resistant nature of the surface will keep bacteria from accumulating, making it possible to clean the surface using only a mild detergent. These features make this material ideal for use in an environment that must be hygienically maintained, therefore making artificial granite countertops are a good option for homes with children or lots of visitors.

Heat and Maintenance

Heat resistance permits the placement of hot pots and pans on top of the product without damaging it or its surface. Its standoff type construction or chemical structure of the product makes it able to withstand thermal shock, extend the life of the finish, and assist in maintaining a uniform high luster which increases utility and value.

Design Versatility

Designers can create an atmosphere by mixing and matching multiple colors and patterns. Each color and/or pattern has a consistent vein and texture that mimics the look of natural granite without having any surprises. The use of custom edges along with the seamless joining of panels gives the entire project a cohesive and integrated look in kitchens, bathrooms, and islands.

Artificial Granite Countertops

Artificial granite countertops look similar to real granite because they are manufactured using quartz aggregates bound by resin. These combined materials create a durable non-porous surface that effectively resists scratches, stains, and heat damage. All artificial granite surfaces consistently maintain the same colour and pattern across all curves, edges, and seams to provide design flexibility for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial buildings. Artificial granite countertops are very easy to clean and remain looking like new all day every day. Routine care is minimal.

F&Q About Artificial Granite Countertops

What is artificial granite made of?

Granite countertops made from artificial materials consist of quartz aggregates bound together by resin, producing nonporous surfaces that are strong, stable, and function like natural granite. This allows manufacturers to produce an exact match of each color and design style for modern kitchens and bathrooms using durable, high-quality materials.
Artificial granite is a non-porous and dense material, therefore, it is resistant to most stains when cleaned immediately and does not absorb moisture. Artificial granite can withstand typical kitchen heat; however, to prevent extreme temperatures from damaging artificial granite, trivets or pads should always be used.
Engineered for durability through precisely polished edges, artificial granite has been developed with reinforcement through resin bonding. Although no stone is immune from damage due to a heavy impact, utilizing the correct edge profiles and proper installation techniques will reduce the chances of damage and support a seamless appearance.
Artificial granite is less expensive to manufacture and install than natural granite, both because of its lesser thickness and ease of fabrication. Professional installation by a qualified installer can guarantee proper under layment, accurate cutting, and no visible joint between the two pieces for a durable finish.
