Engineered Stone: Durable, Non-Porous Countertop Solution

Overview of Engineered Stone

A sturdy, non-porous surface that is made from mainly natural quartz, engineered stone combines the use of durable resins to produce a consistent colour that has exceptional scratch and stain resistance and a surface finish requiring no sealing or maintenance. Engineered stone surfaces provide long-lasting beauty in areas such as counter tops, backsplashes, and those requiring long periods of use with high levels of durability (to withstand frequent use) and the ability to withstand hot pots and pans.

Advantages of Engineered Stone

Durability

Durable engineered stone is the result of a dense composite of quartz and advanced resins which provides exceptional longevity by resisting scratching, chipping and impact. It has considerable strength that will perform well for heavy duty cooking and on high-traffic areas without deteriorating its form or function as time passes.

Non-Porous & Stain-Resistant

This material is resistant to staining from wine, coffee, and oil due to being made with a non-porous composition; thus, spills can be easily wiped up. The durable matrix also provides an effective barrier against the growth of bacteria creating a hygienic and safe food preparation surface for kitchens or bathrooms.

Consistent Aesthetic

Engineered Stone has a uniform surface and colour with each slab, making the seams between them nearly impossible to see. Designers can create cohesive designs with engineered stone since they can predict how colour and pattern will look on the finished product; therefore, they can create visually pleasing products that maintain their beauty from exposure to sunlight and wear.

Low Maintenance & Eco-Friendly

Simple cleaning, no sealing and low maintenance make for an easy clean up. Sustainable production practices (i.e., using recycled aggregates) and low environmental impacts (due to using recycled materials) means that engineered stone is a good long term investment for modern kitchens while also providing a durable product with minimal need for replacement.

Engineered Stone

Advanced resins and natural quartz are the components of engineered stone, which creates a dense, non-porous surface that resists heat, scratches, and stains when compared to most natural stone products. Engineered stone's uniform texture; predictable surface patterns; and broad colour palette all make it well-suited for use in countertops, kitchen islands, and wall applications. Cleaning ease and non-reactivity helps with long-term durability when used in high traffic residential and commercial locations. Edge profiles can be finished with many different options for a polished look.

F&Q About Engineered Stone

What is engineered stone made of?

Engineered Stone, man made surface consisting largely of quartz crystals, are created from crushed quartz that is combined with resin (A bonding agent). This combination results in a surface that is hard, non-porous, and looks like natural stone while also offering uniformity in color, pattern, and performance from slab to slab.
Although engineered stone provides good resistance against heat, it cannot withstand thermal shock either. Always use a trivet or other means of protecting your engineered stone from hot surfaces and consider using a cutting board to protect the edge and finish of the product from high-temperature items.
With a mild soap and water solution or a non-abrasive cleaning product, cleaning is easy. Remove any spills immediately, use soft cloths, and avoid the use of harsh chemicals or abrasive pads when cleaning. Regular maintenance will help keep the surface shiny and intact (preserving the non-porous surface).
Engineered stone has many different uses in indoor settings as well as outdoors in temperate climates. When installing engineered stone for an outdoor kitchen or commercial application, confirm the product's specifications for UV resistance, color stability and warranty to guarantee durability in the long term.
