Stone bench tops have been popular with homeowners and builders in Perth for years, because they add a bold sign of quality, style and class to any kitchen, bathroom, ensuite or laundry. But stone bench tops that are made entirely from naturally occurring granite, marble and quartz are not without their drawbacks. When granite is sourced from quarries in India, Brazil and China for example, the transportation times for suppliers to get the right piece to your home in Perth can be ridiculous, as can the costs. Naturally occurring granite can also come with unpredictable patterns and strength. Colours and dimensions for single piece slabs are also limited to what occurs naturally and what can be sourced. For these reasons, most builders and homeowners are choosing engineered stone bench tops. Engineered stone has the benefits of traditional stone, but with some other important benefits.

Engineered stone bench tops look stunning and they can be manufactured right here in Australia, so the transportation times and costs are significantly lower and more reliable and consistent. Engineered stone bench tops are usually made from a mixture of natural minerals, such as quartz, and resins.
Engineered stone bench tops are a popular choice among homeowners for their kitchen, bathroom, ensuite and laundry bench tops due to their durability, versatility and low maintenance requirements.
Engineered stone bench tops are known for the following qualities:
Beauty and Consistency: One of the key benefits of engineered stone bench tops is their uniform appearance. Unlike natural stones which can vary greatly in colour, pattern, and texture, engineered stone has a consistent look and feel, making it easier to match with other elements of the room.
Strength and Durability: Engineered stone bench tops are highly resistant to scratches, chips, and cracks, making them a great option for high-use areas like kitchens and bathrooms. They are also resistant to heat, making them ideal for placing hot pots and pans directly on the surface without fear of damage.
Low Maintenance: Engineered stone bench tops are much easier to maintain than natural stone countertops. They are non-porous, which means they do not absorb liquids and bacteria, making them much easier to clean. In addition, they do not require sealing, polishing, or any other special maintenance, making them a convenient and low-maintenance option.
Versatility: Engineered stone bench tops come in a variety of colours, patterns, and finishes, making it easy to find the perfect option for any kitchen or bathroom design. They can also be shaped and cut to fit a variety of countertop shapes and sizes, making them a great option for both standard and custom designs.
Affordability: Engineered stone bench tops are generally more affordable than natural stone countertops, making them an accessible option for homeowners who want the look and feel of natural stone without the high cost.
Engineered stone bench tops provide many benefits over natural stone bench tops like granite, marble, and quartz. They are durable, low-maintenance, versatile, and affordable, making them a great option for homeowners looking for a stunning, high-quality and practical bench top solution.
