Engineered stone blends resin with crushed stone, compressed under high pressure to create a robust, uniform surface. It boasts a density that ensures durability and a surface that resists stains and doesn’t require sealing. Available in 20mm and 30mm slabs, these benchtops can be mitred for a thicker appearance and come in a plethora of colours. They are among the most accessible benchtop materials to maintain, though, like granite, they require templating prior to production.
