Engineered stone is usually polished to a high gloss shine and installed in solid slabs like granite, but the colors and patterns are more consistent. The combination of quartz and resins make it nonporous, resistant to heat, scratching, stains, chemicals, molds and bacteria with no need for sealing. It is also more flexible, stronger, and easier to work with than natural granite, enabling manufacturers to offer warranties on their products.
