Granite or Engineered Stone?
Both granite and engineered stone come with unique features that make them both attractive choices. Choosing between the two can be difficult, and while one material might work in a home, it might not work in another. It would help if you considered these products' individual qualities and placed them against your own needs. The following is a detailed overview of each materials' qualities.
What Is Engineered Stone?
Engineered stone is a popular term for what we in the industry call- quartz. Our engineered stone countertops are made from quartz crystals that are placed together with the help of resin and pigments. This makes them different from natural stone countertops made from stones such as marble and granite. Quartz countertops and other quartz products such as backsplashes provide the look of natural stone with increased benefits due to the stone being engineered.
The Benefits of Engineered Stone
Engineered stone has been around for a long time, and with good reason. It comes with countless advantages, which makes it a popular choice for construction, especially of countertops. Some of the many benefits of engineered stone countertops are:
Durability
Quartz is one of the hardest materials available to us. Its strength and durability make it next to impossible to chip and break. Your quartz countertops will last you a long time.
No maintenance
Engineered stone offers close to zero porosity. Engineered stone countertops don't absorb liquids, making them extremely easy to clean.
No staining
While natural stone is prone to staining, engineered stone is highly resistant to staining. This makes it a perfect addition to kitchens, where spills are common.
Versatility
Engineered stone is available in diverse colours and design options, making it a suitable fit for any style of home.
Reasonable cost
Generally, engineered stone tends to be cheaper than natural stone and comes with the increased benefits.
