Quartz Benchtops

Our Quartz slabs are engineered with natural quartz crystals mixed with resins, pigments, and other additives. This process makes them highly customizable and available in a wide range of colours and styles. Engineered quartz is incredibly durable and resistant to scratches, stains, and heat. It is non-porous, which means it doesn’t absorb liquids and is less prone to bacteria growth.

Granite Benchtops

Granite is a natural stone sourced from quarries around the world. It is renowned for its beauty and uniqueness, with each slab having a distinct pattern and colour. Granite Benchtops are highly durable and heat-resistant but require more maintenance than Quartz. Because Granite is porous, it needs to be sealed regularly to prevent stains and bacterial growth.
