ENGINEERED STONE QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS & SLABS
If you are looking for an alternative option to a solid marble or granite countertop or slab, then engineered quartz countertops and slabs are a good option to consider.
What are Engineered Quartz Slabs?
Engineered quartz countertops and slabs are often referred to in the industry as quartz slabs, but the name engineered stone gives you a better idea of what it is. Unlike the granite or marble in our natural stone countertops and slabs range, engineered quartz countertops are not 100& naturally formed. Contrastingly, they are manufactured from crushed stone crystals held together with a polymer resin binder. Some can have a similar appearance to natural stone but can offer a colour consistency, should you prefer that to the movement seen in natural stone slabs.

Choosing between Engineered Quartz and Natural Stone
If you are looking for an alternative option to a solid marble or granite slab, then Engineered Quartz Slabs or Sintered Stone Slabs are something to consider. Below are a few simple factors to consider when deciding between engineered quartz and natural stone.
How unique do you want your countertops or surfaces to be?
Unlike natural stone slabs (such as marble or granite), engineered quartz slabs are not each unique. With natural stone, nobody else will ever have a surface exactly like the one you choose. However, this is not the case with engineered stone quartz slabs. They are manufactured. As a result, there will be thousands and thousands of others just like yours.
Are you willing and able to care for the surface the way each material requires?

How much value do you place on a completely natural material?
Natural stone is an exclusive material. This is because it is unique and therefore luxurious. It not only has a reputation for elegance, but also a long history of use in very iconic architectural projects. Therefore, for many homeowners, natural stone is more desirable. However, for other homeowners, the timeless nature of natural stone is not a big factor in their decision.
