Engineered stone is a non-porous, highly durable surface made from natural quartz and resins. It is stain-resistant, low-maintenance, and available in a range of colours and finishes.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Simply clean with warm soapy water or a mild detergent.
• Good-quality spray and wipe products are safe to use.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, and abrasive scrubbing pads.
• Stubborn marks can be removed using a soft cloth and an approved stone cleaner.

Heat Resistance

• Engineered stone is resistant to moderate heat, but prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause discolouration or cracking.
• Always use a heat pad or trivet to protect the surface.

Granite is a natural stone formed over millions of years. Its durability and unique patterns make it a popular choice for benchtops.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Wipe regularly with warm soapy water or a gentle spray and wipe product.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads, as they can dull the finish.
• As granite is naturally porous, sealing is required to prevent staining.

Sealing Your Granite Benchtop

• Your benchtop has been sealed upon installation, lasting up to 5 years.
• Signs that resealing is needed include watermarks that darken the stone.
• To reseal, apply a stone sealer with a soft cloth and buff dry.

Heat Resistance

• Granite is heat-resistant but can still suffer thermal shock from direct contact with high temperatures.
• Always use heat pads or trivets to protect the surface.

Marble is a luxurious natural stone known for its timeless appeal. However, it is softer and more porous than granite, requiring extra care.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Clean daily with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
• Avoid acidic cleaners, as marble is sensitive to substances like vinegar and citrus juice.
• Do not let spills sit—wipe them up immediately to prevent etching.

Sealing Your Marble Benchtop

• Your marble benchtop has been sealed upon installation, typically lasting between 6 months and 3 years.
• If watermarks appear after spills, it may be time to reseal.
• Sealing is a simple process—apply a stone sealer with a cloth and buff dry.

Heat Resistance & General Care

• Marble is heat-resistant but can suffer thermal shock—always use a trivet.
• Marble is more prone to chipping than granite, so avoid impact from heavy objects.
• Do not sit or stand on the benchtop to prevent cracks or fractures.

Acrylic benchtops offer a seamless, non-porous surface that is durable and easy to maintain. With proper care, they will retain their beauty for years.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Clean daily with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
• Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to remove stubborn marks.
• Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or acetone, which can damage the surface.
• For minor scratches, buff gently with a soft sponge and a mild abrasive cleaner.

Preventing Damage

• Always use a cutting board—direct cutting can scratch the surface.
• While acrylic is heat-resistant, it is not heatproof—use trivets for hot pots and pans.
• Avoid dragging heavy or sharp objects across the surface to prevent scratches.

Repair & Maintenance

• Light scratches and marks can often be buffed out using a fine abrasive pad and a polishing compound.
• Deeper scratches or damage may require professional refinishing.
• Acrylic benchtops do not require sealing, making them low-maintenance and hygienic.

• Clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
• Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, acids, and abrasive cleaners.
•  Use trivets and heat pads to prevent heat damage.
• Reseal porous stones (granite and marble) as needed.
