Engineered stone is a composite material that is made out of crushed stone grouped together by some form of adhesive. Engineered or composite stone has a wide range of applications across multiple industry verticals.I chose marble quartz countertops for my kitchen renovation to achieve a luxurious and durable surface that combines the elegance of marble with the practicality of quartz. With respect to kitchen counters, slabs are prepared out of quartz crystals that are bound together with the help of a resin binder. Most quartz is designed featuring a ratio of around 93 percent of crushed stone to 7 percent of pigmentation and resin.

Engineered stone features a similar appearance to that of natural stone. The only difference is that engineered stone tends to be more uniform in pattern and color throughout. Natural stone will feature multiple variations in patterns, hues, and colors. As engineered marble or quartz is prepared artificially, the appearance of every marble slab will be the same with minimal variations.
