Man Made Stone Benchtops: 4 Premium Engineered Stone Options

Overview of Man Made Stone Benchtops

The engineered stone countertops combine superior durability with the ease of maintenance of natural stone. Engineered stone offers a non-porous surface, which means no mess will get stuck on the countertop surface, and the surface is easy to clean when spills occur. With a great variety of colors and finishes available, these beautiful countertops add elegance to any kitchen, bathroom, or commercial location for many years to come.

Advantages of Man Made Stone Benchtops

Durability and Stain Resistance

The engineered stone has a very high resistance to impact and is non-porous so that it will not be stained by materials that are common in kitchens and bathrooms, which makes cleaning easier and allows it to maintain its original appearance for a much longer period of time than most other surfaces would require (no sealing or refinishing).

Low Maintenance and Hygiene

The non-porous nature of engineered stone provides resistance to bacteria and growth, making it easy to clean. No sealing is needed, which saves you time and costs associated with repairs and maintains a uniform appearance regardless of the size of the slab, type of edge detail used, or how it was installed.

Design Consistency and Versatility

Engineered stone contains consistent colors, patterns, and textures from slab to slab, allowing you to achieve an uninterrupted flow on all types of countertop surfaces. It can accommodate numerous types of edges and finishes such as matte, honed, and polished surfaces for modern or classic design styles.

Environmentally Conscious Options

Several engineered stone products contain reusable materials and produce low amounts of off-gassing when they are being installed, allowing the product to be used multiple times. They have a long life cycle; they can be recycled after the end of their useful life; and the supplier has transparent sourcing and cumulative evidence of responsible manufacturing processes.

Man Made Stone Benchtops

Engineered stone countertops consist of crushed stone mixed with resin, creating a uniform, hard surface that isn’t porous. Engineered stone is resistant to stains, bacteria and has good resistance to UV light and excellent resistance to heat and impact if handled properly. Because engineered stone is non-porous, it does not require sealing which makes it easy to maintain; all spills are easily wiped off and most cleaners will not damage the finish. Engineered stone comes in a wide array of colours, textures and edges to suit many home and business applications.

F&Q About Man Made Stone Benchtops

What is engineered stone benchtop made of?

Engineered Stone is created by mixing crushed quartz and resins to produce a dense, non-porous surface that is similar in appearance to natural stone. This produces an engineered stone countertop that has consistent colour, excellent wear; and however, has less maintenance than standard granite or concrete countertops.
While engineered stone has excellent heat resistance properties when utilized with common kitchen practices, it should never come into contact with extreme, direct heat. Place trivets or hot pads under hot pots or pans; avoid placing pots or pans that are extremely hot directly onto the surface itself.
The process of installation includes measuring, templating and professional fabrication through the use of high-quality adhesive to achieve a perfect alignment and a seamless pattern. With good cabinet support and edge selection, you can eliminate flexing and gaps.
The range of colours that engineered stone can be made in spans from cool white to deep black and the patterns that can be achieved using engineered stone can draw inspiration from nature. Polished, honed or matte surfaces can form part of the engineered stone surface and create a uniform appearance when combined with consistent veining and edging details.
