Engineered Stone | Stone Benchtops

Benchtops, countertops, splashbacks, floors and wall cladding; in kitchen and bathroom. Not suitable for outdoor use. Minimum 10 year warranty.

• Extremely hard wearing, non-porous, heat, stain, scratch and chip resistant. It is stronger than natural stone and is one of nature’s hardest minerals. Less chance of cracking, consistent color for matching slabs of stone.
• Engineered Stone bench tops are manmade and therefore have much more consistent patterns. Beautiful quartz look.
• Most engineered quartz benchtops will only withstand temperatures of about 150°C. Engineered Stone benches are resistant to moderately high temperatures for a brief time. However prolonged exposure to high heat can cause discolouration or cracking from thermal shock. We therefore recommend hot pots and pans not be placed directly on the benchtop.

We also can cut out shapes and install the sink (bowl) for you. Click here to see our bowl options. Cut-outs can be used for anything including hobs.

A sealer is always applied to the surface of a stone benchtop. A benchtop's shape can be curved and multiple slabs are joined together using clamps to make a tight join that is only visible under very close inspection.

We also make large pieces of furniture such as boardroom table tops and executive desks.
