Ideal Applications for Engineered Stone
Engineered stone is not just beautiful to look at, it is also a versatile, robust and performance-oriented material that can be used in a variety of places. Its durable structure, great looks and easy cleaning make it a perfect choice for homes as well as large commercial projects.
Uses in Residential Spaces
1. Kitchen Countertops:The kitchen is a place where durability is required along with style. Engineered stone is scratch-resistant, non-porous (does not absorb stains and water) and heat-resistant. It is very easy to clean and remains as good as new for a long time.
2. Restroom Vanities: Moisture and water are common in restrooms, so the waterproof and bacteria-resistant surface of engineered stone makes it ideal for restroom vanities. Its smooth finish gives the restroom a premium look.
3. Backsplash: Whether it is a kitchen or a restroom – a backsplash is a must for style and protection on the walls. Engineered stone is not only water-resistant but also comes in many colour and design options.
4. Bar tops:If you have a mini bar in your home or a bar top in your dining space, engineered stone is a great option. It is spill-resistant, so even if drinks spill, it does not stain.
Use in commercial and hospitality sector
1. Reception counter
The first glimpse of a hotel, office or clinic is seen from the reception. The shiny and uniform finish of engineered stone makes this place professional and classy. Also, it easily withstands heavy traffic.
2. Conference Tables: Meeting rooms in corporate offices see daily use. Engineered stone tables look great and won’t get damaged by laptops, coffee cups or notes.
3. Restaurant and cafe countertops:Eating, spills and crowding are common here. A non-porous and food-safe surface is a must – and engineered stone has all of these qualities.
4. Medical and Educational Institutions: Hygiene is of utmost importance in places like hospitals, labs or schools. The non-porous and NSF certified surface of engineered stone is perfect for these places.
5. Perfect for large projects: Another feature of engineered stone is its uniform look. If a project requires multiple slabs of similar colour and design (such as a hotel chain, mall or hospital), this material fits the bill.Also, its easy availability, custom cutting options and international quality certification make it a smart investment for large commercial projects.
