Quartz slabs consist of 93% natural quartz and silica, combined with 7% binding agents like polyester resin. This composition emphasizes sustainability since the manufacturing process is designed to minimize environmental degradation. As a result, the final product retains the timeless appearance and texture of natural stone, while offering exceptional quality, an anti-bacterial surface, and an elegant aesthetic. With its heat and scratch resistance, quartz becomes an excellent choice for kitchen and bathroom worksurfaces.

Granite is an all-natural solid stone, while quartz is an engineered stone that is made up of crushed quartz and other stone byproducts.

A new kitchen is a big investment, so it is natural that you want to make sure you choose the right surface for your needs. As quartz surfaces are man-made, they are available in a wide range of colours and all slabs of a specific colour can show the exact same pattern. This provides you with consistency throughout your work surface that is not always possible with a natural stone. 

As granite and marble are natural materials, each piece is different, making it a more “unique” worksurface which may be considered a benefit to some, but a drawback to others as you will not fully know what your kitchen really looks like until the worktop is fitted.

Food can be cut directly on top of the surface without it being damaged. Even so, adapted cutting boards or boards made of other materials should be used for cutting.

No extra care or special products are needed to clean it. Stains can be removed with water or mild cleaning products.

Kingstone surfaces come with a 25-year residential warranty and 10 year commercial warranty for added peace of mind.
