Most of us would pay attention to the design of a benchtop first and foremost, which is understandable. However, afterwards we’d also need to consider the materials that our benchtop is built with. Below, we discuss some of the best stone benchtop surface options among benchtops enthusiasts!

Engineered Stone Benchtops

Engineered stones have over 20 years of technology backing it up. It’s easier to care for than natural stone materials, and you can find them in a variety of styles, colors and finishes. You may know engineered stone as quartz as well - they’re made from quartz granules, marble dust or glass chips, mixed with resin or a polyester base. It’s difficult to scratch, but note that benchtops with this surface can be prone to chipping or stains!

Granite Benchtops

Natural stone presents itself as an elegant option for any onlookers. Having a granite benchtop will make your kitchen look luxurious! Granite is a durable material - hard to scratch and will last very long. However, its porous nature also means that you will need to seal it now and then to keep it from absorbing stains from any spills.

Marble Benchtops

Marble surfaces are a classic. They’re well-loved because of their delicate and beautiful appearance. These surfaces come in various patterns, and each of them are unique! However, marble surfaces are not as durable as granite benchtops, and are more prone to stains, chips, cracks or even scratches! However, they can be cheaper than granite or engineered stone benchtops.
