This year pamper yourself with a new kitchen bench. Upgrade from laminate to Granite or Engineered Stone tops. Go in for a swanky new look and its easy maintenance too!. Granite is a natural stone product and it stands up well to heat and abrasion. Granite at 30mm thick tends to be more heatproof than engineered or composite stone products.

However light coloured granites can be more susceptible to staining if not resealed on a regular basis so it is more sensible to opt for engineered stone top if you are unlikely to carry out regular maintenance. Being natural stone there is variation in the colour and so we advise that you visit our yard to view and pick a slab of your choice. Each slab has its own character and its a great feeling to pick your own piece of stone.

Engineered stone, on the other hand is man made and has been gaining popularity over the last 10 years. It is a mixture of chipped up quartz stone and granite mixed with resins to bind the stone together and seal it off. It comes in sheet form and varies in thickness varies from 7mm to 30mm.

The product is abrasion proof, stain resistant but not as heat proof as natural stone i.e. Granite. It is important that any composite stone must have stone content of at least 90% and 10% resin to make for a bench top that is not too soft and prone to scratching.

The price is $300 a linear meter upto 650 and $400 a linear meter up to 1000 finished product cut and polished.
