FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
What is the best stone for kitchen benchtops?
The best stone for kitchen benchtops depends on your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences and budget. Granite is a popular choice for its natural beauty and durability. It’s resistant to heat and scratches, making it ideal for everyday cooking. Marble offers timeless appeal with elegant veining, but it’s more porous and may require sealing to prevent staining. Quartz (engineered stone) is non-porous, consistent in colour and very low maintenance, while sintered stone is an ultra-durable surface option that resists heat, stains, and UV rays. Mineral stone is a cost-effective alternative, offering good strength and a clean, modern look. Each type of stone has unique properties, so it’s important to consider how it will perform in your space before making a decision.
How do you clean a stone kitchen benchtop?
Stone benchtops are relatively easy to maintain if cleaned properly. For everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using acidic or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the surface, especially on natural stones like marble or granite. For quartz and sintered stone, a non-abrasive spray cleaner works well for tougher spills. It’s also important to wipe up liquids promptly to prevent staining, particularly with porous stones. Sealed granite and marble surfaces may need resealing every 1–2 years depending on usage. Always check with your installer or supplier for care instructions specific to your benchtop material.
How long does installation take for stone benchtops?
The installation timeline for stone kitchen benchtops typically ranges from 1-3 weeks after measurements are finalised. This includes time for templating, cutting, polishing and preparing the benchtops for delivery. The installation itself usually takes just one day for standard layouts, though larger or more complex kitchens may take longer. Factors like site access, plumbing, and custom edge details can also affect timing. To speed things up, many suppliers offer phone-based quoting and off-site prep work to reduce disruption in your home. It's best to confirm your timeline during the quoting stage to plan your renovation accordingly.
