Before
you decide what counter top to put in your new kitchen,
you may want to consider a relatively new product called
engineered stone. Ninety percent of its mass consists
of crushed stone, while the remaining ten percent is
made of resins and pigments.
Because
the stone is engineered, it has no weak fissures or
veins that could crack like natural stone. It also means
that you won't need to search all over the stone yard
for matching pieces.
The
toughest engineered stones are made from quartz. Some
products that are made from quartz and won't scratch
or stain include Silestone, Cambria, and Dupont's Zodiaq
line. Others made from marble and other stones may need
sealing.
