Engineered stone is a composite material made of crushed stone bound together by an adhesive. This category includes engineered quartz, polymer concrete and engineered marble stone. The application of these products depends on the original stone used.

Is engineered stone the same as quartz?

This material is often referred to in the industry as quartz, but the name engineered stone gives you a better idea of what it is. Unlike natural stone countertops that are cut from pure granite, marble or sandstone, engineered stone counters are made from quartz crystals held together with a resin binder.

Is engineered stone good quality?

Strong, durable, and attractive, engineered stone is very consistent in look and pattern. The non-porous surface is easy to maintain and heat-resistant, too.
