Common questions about stone | Engineered Stone
Engineered Stone Engineered Stone combines natural quartz and silica sands under extreme pressure at very high temperatures to create an agglomerate product that looks like granite, marble, or travertine but is more durable and flexible. Below are some Faq's about Engineered Stone. - Engineered Stone is manufactured with a patented process. The stone aggregates are mixed with a precise ratio of color pigments and resins and then vibro-compacted under 90 tons of pressure to remove any air and compress the material into a formed slab. The formed slab is then placed in a curing oven at 190 degrees for 7 hours then finally polished to a high sheen with diamond polishers. - The polished surface of Engineered Stone is done with multi stage diamond polishing wheels. It is extremely durable and resists scuffs and scratches that would damage the matte finish on other types on countertops such as solid surface or laminate. - Engineered Stone is completely nonporous and even substances like hair dye can be easily cleaned off. Engineered Stone has such a low liquid absorption rate that it does not need to be sealed like natural granite and is impervious to all but the strongest industrial chemicals. - There are no fissures created by nature and the slab maintains a consistent strength throughout, making it much less likely to crack. - Engineered Stone seams will be more like granite but they will be much tighter and thinner than granite. A color-matched epoxy designed specifically for Engineered Stone colors is used so that the seam blends remarkably and becomes much less noticeable than natural granite. However, will not completely disappear. Common questions about stone | Engineered Stone |
