FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
What is considered natural stone for benchtops?
Natural stone benchtops are made from slabs of quarried rock that have been cut, polished and finished for use in kitchens, bathrooms and other interiors. The most common types include granite, marble, and quartzite. Each type of stone has its own characteristics. Granite is known for its strength and resistance to heat, marble for its luxurious appearance and soft veining, and quartzite for its durability and subtle patterns. These stones are extracted from the earth, meaning every piece is unique in colour, texture and pattern. Unlike engineered surfaces, natural stone does not contain resins or fillers and requires sealing to preserve its natural qualities over time.
Is granite or marble better for a kitchen benchtop?
Both granite and marble have benefits, but the best choice depends on your priorities. Granite is more durable and resistant to heat, scratches and stains, making it a practical option for busy kitchens. It’s ideal for everyday cooking and doesn’t require as much care beyond periodic sealing. Marble, on the other hand, offers unmatched beauty and elegance but is more porous, meaning it can stain or etch if not sealed properly. It’s a great choice for those who value style and are willing to maintain the surface over time. If low maintenance is a priority, granite may be the better fit. If you're after timeless appeal, marble is hard to beat.
How do you maintain natural stone benchtops?
Maintaining natural stone benchtops involves regular cleaning, sealing and mindful use. To clean the surface, use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid using acidic substances like vinegar or lemon juice, as these can damage certain stones like marble. For protection, natural stone surfaces should be sealed regularly, typically once every 6–12 months depending on the type of stone and how heavily it's used. Use trivets or heat pads for hot pans, and wipe up spills promptly to avoid staining. With proper care, natural stone can retain its appearance and functionality for decades.
