Engineered stone is man-made. Ground up quartz is mixed with resin and colors to create pseudo-stone designs. By weight, the material is about 90% stone. The raw material usually arrives in slabs (10’ x 4.7’) much the same way natural stone (8.5’ x 4.5’) is delivered.
One of the attractions of engineered stone is that it has a three-dimensional natural look and color and veining are consistent. If your palette requires predictability, this is a great option. In addition, if you think you might like marble in your kitchen, engineered stone offers excellent alternatives. Have questions?
The quartz and resin in engineered stone is non-porous so it resists staining.
Engineered stone is more predictable in color and can sustain exacting edging cuts for falls and other precision applications.
