  3. materials. But there are some things to consider before rushing out to buy. One of the first things to keep in mind is that engineered stone is not as heat resistant as natural stone. You should always put engineered stone on a trivet or other protective surface. Otherwise, you can end up with a countertop that is damaged from the heat.

  4. Another thing to think about is how easily scratches can occur on engineered stone. This is less of an issue on quartz-based engineered stone counters, but it is still something to be aware of. A good rule of thumb for protecting your polished finish is to use a non-abrasive cleaner and use warm water and soap for routine cleaning. Also, be sure to protect your engineered stone from direct sunlight.

  5. Unlike natural stone, engineered stone isn’t porous. Therefore, it’s resistant to spills and acids. And its non-porous properties make it easy to clean. Compared to natural stone, engineered stone also holds up better against staining. Using acidic materials like vinegar or lemon on your engineered stone will not affect its appearance. However, you should be careful about using hot pans on it.

  6. There are two main types of engineered stones. The first is quartz. Quartz is a natural mineral that occurs in nearly all geological environments. Another type is granite. Granite is an extremely hard rock. During the manufacturing process, minerals in granite are bonded together with a resin. Because of the process, it is more stain resistant than other stones.

  7. Other types of engineered stone include sandstone, limestone, and travertine. These are the most common types. Although these are not the strongest, they can provide a modern, high-end visual. Engineered stone is available in a variety of colors, textures, and patterns. For instance, SileStone is a great granite substitute that is highly durable and comes in a wide variety of colors.
