Natural Stone vs. Engineered Stone for Your Kitchen


The difference between natural and engineered stone is a common query in Sydney from those in the market for stone. Interestingly, each has its own set of attributes that buck common mistakes as to what kind of stone is "the best".

Natural Stone vs. Engineered Stone

It is necessary to choose the type of stone that will satisfy both your want for a beautiful finish to your home, along with the durability to withstand what your requirements are and practicality for your use.

Natural Stone

Natural stone is specifically that – naturally forming stone, that has existed for thousands of years and is quarried at various locations around the world. The location determines the colour and type of stone found. Natural Stone is different with no two pieces alike.

Natural stone is stain, scratch and chip resistant

This should not be mixed with stain, scratch and chip-proof, as no one can guarantee Mother Nature’s product. This is a standard grievance about natural stone, which is why is it necessary to select a stone that is practical to your lifestyle.

Engineered Stone

Engineered stone has general consistency in colour and style due to each piece being made to exact recipes. It contains almost nil porosity which makes it resistant to scratches, stains, and, chips, giving it an added hygiene factor when used in a kitchen setting.

Conclusion: Natural Stone vs. Engineered Stone

Basically, there is no one type of stone that can be assumed that “better” than another, much less choosing on whether the natural or engineered stone is “better”, mainly because each person’s definition of quality and value are varied from one to another.
