While individuals who value natural stone&#8217;s individuality may see this as a drawback, the upside is that the engineered stone you use throughout your kitchen will match flawlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Kitchen counters of engineered stone are available in <strong>various colors, including rose, grey, and many earth tones spanning the color spectrum<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Most of the color originates from the Quartz&#8217;s inherent tint, while colorants are available to achieve the right tone. <a href=\"https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/epoxy-kitchen\/\"><strong>Check this out<\/strong><\/a> if you want to know about epoxy kitchen countertops.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Durability\"><\/span><strong>Durability<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Although natural and engineered granite is tough and long-lasting, one advantage of manufactured granite countertops is that it is hardly ever chipped or cracked. It is the ideal surface for today&#8217;s hectic lifestyles because it is also very heat, stain, and scratch resistant.<a href=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/countertops-in-kitchen.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5984\" src=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/countertops-in-kitchen.png\" alt=\"countertops in kitchen\" width=\"700\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/countertops-in-kitchen.png 700w, https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/countertops-in-kitchen-300x174.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a> Also, this material is resistant to cuts and scratches to keep its brand-new appearance for a long time.

But because granite is porous, stains can quickly build up on it. Bacteria, which may be hard to eliminate, can penetrate pores and fissures. Juice, oils, and red wine might be your worst enemies if you need to seal your countertop properly.<a href=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/slab-with-tea-cup.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5990\" src=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/slab-with-tea-cup.png\" alt=\"slab with tea cup\" width=\"700\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/slab-with-tea-cup.png 700w, https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/slab-with-tea-cup-300x127.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Synthetic granite countertops&#8217; surface will not absorb liquids, making cleanup simpler and more efficient.

Granite is still porous but <strong>less permeable than marble<\/strong>. The primary issue with porosity is how much simpler it is to discolor. Wine and coffee have intense colors and can seep into pores, dry out, and leave their pigments behind. Then, it takes some effort to remove the stains.<a href=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/classic-kitchen.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5983\" src=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/classic-kitchen.png\" alt=\"classic kitchen\" width=\"700\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/classic-kitchen.png 700w, https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/classic-kitchen-300x135.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Natural stone seals prevent this. Sealing covers an object with a water-resistant substance, such as plastic or natural wax. The stone becomes <strong>smoother and brighter<\/strong>, and its stain resistance increases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The stain is considerably less durable than the stone, so constant use will eventually cause it to fade. As a result, the stone will eventually begin to show stains. You&#8217;ll need to clean the stain out and reseal the stone to correct this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Engineered granite is <strong>free of this issue<\/strong>. It no longer requires routine restaining and is <strong>far more stain-resistant<\/strong>. All the pores in the stone fill with thoroughly soaking it in highly durable epoxy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cracking_and_Chipping\"><\/span><strong>Cracking and Chipping<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Natural stones could be better, but they can be highly durable. With continual use, they <strong>begin to deteriorate<\/strong>. Any material will experience this, but the stone&#8217;s porosity may hasten the process since liquid intrusion can weaken the bonds holding the minerals together and cause unexpected chemical reactions.<a href=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/engineered-stone-countertops.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5985\" src=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/engineered-stone-countertops.png\" alt=\"engineered stone countertops\" width=\"700\" height=\"377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/engineered-stone-countertops.png 700w, https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/engineered-stone-countertops-300x162.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> The stone may begin to chip and develop cracks over time. The <strong>corners require extra caution<\/strong> when handling because these parts frequently break first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On the other hand, engineered stone is significantly <strong>less prone to chipping and cracking<\/strong> due to its significantly lower porosity. Also, because it is more cut-resistant, you can cut food on top of it. That is a significant characteristic; however, a cutting board can increase its toughness and preserve its look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/appearance-of-granite\/\">The Appearance of Granite | How Is It Different From Others<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><strong>FAQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n        <section class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card \">\n            <div>\n\t\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_benefits_do_engineered_stone_kitchen_countertops_offer\"><\/span>What benefits do engineered stone kitchen countertops offer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>                <div>\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe advantage is that all engineered stones in your kitchen will completely match.
