Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is mineral stone?

    Mineral stone is a man-made surface composed primarily of natural mineral mixed with resins and pigments. The result is a dense, durable material that mimics the look of natural stone but offers more uniformity and improved performance. 

  • Is mineral stone better than natural stone?

    Whether mineral stone is "better" than natural stone depends on the application and personal preference. Mineral stone offers consistent colour, pattern, and texture across slabs, which is a major advantage for those seeking a uniform look. It’s also non-porous, meaning it resists staining and doesn’t require sealing like natural stone.

  • Does mineral stone scratch or stain easily?

    Mineral stone is made to be highly resistant to both scratching and staining, making it an excellent option for benchtops in kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-use areas. However, while it holds up well under regular use, it’s still advisable to use chopping boards and avoid direct cutting on the surface to maintain its appearance.

  • Is mineral stone suitable for everyday use in kitchens?

    Yes. Mineral stone is designed to handle daily wear. It resists stains and scratches and stays easy to clean, so it works well in family homes and high-traffic areas where surfaces are used throughout the day.

  • Can mineral stone be used for vanities or commercial fitouts?

    Absolutely. Mineral stone works well for kitchen benchtops, bathroom vanities and commercial surfaces. Its strength and consistent appearance make it a practical option for projects that need both durability and a clean modern look.
