Advantages of Natural and Engineered Stone Slabs

Stones have an inherent glory of their own. Whether used in patios or in the kitchen, the elegance and sparkle that stones render to the entire surrounding is incomparable. Stones come in all shapes and sizes and are largely distinguished depending upon the cut, finish and cost. You can opt for natural stones like marble or granite or go with engineered stones like quartz depending upon your choice, need and budget.

Engineered Stone Slabs

Quartz is an engineered stone that is manufactured from quartz crystals which are held together by a resin binder. Quartz stones have several advantages which have made them highly popular among the middle income house owners.

·         Quartz looks just like a natural stone slab, but costs half the money.

·         The surfaces of engineered stone tiles do not get scratches so easily. This makes them a great choice for families with super busy kitchens.

·         Unlike natural stone tops, quartz is not a porous material, which is why it is immune to any staining from tea, pickles or spices. You don’t have to run with a cleaner in your hand every time you work in the kitchen. You can cut, chop or marinate any vegetables, fish or chicken without worrying about the slab getting stained

·         Quartz stone slabs come in wide variety of colours and sizes, which makes it easy to customise your kitchen as per your need.

Natural Stone Slabs

·         Natural stones have a long life and generally last for a lifetime.  Homeowners would only need to change the countertop to match their changing taste.

·         Natural stones don’t need changing often, which helps to prevent a lot of green house gas emission into the atmosphere. The rate of greenhouse gas emission is considerably lower, when compared to engineered stone tops

·         Countertops made from natural stones are strong and sturdy. They are cut and polished at the warehouse. Besides that, not much processing needs to be done.

·         They are free from all kind of pollutants usually found in wide range of building materials used for engineered stone counter tops.
