If you are looking for a surface that balances luxury and durability, Smartstone is an excellent choice. Discover the brief overview and exceptional properties of a Smarstone kitchen countertop before starting your kitchen renovation.
What is Smartstone?
It is a leading brand of engineered stone, traditionally quartz-based, and has recently pivoted to Sintered or Porcelain collections in response to global silica regulations.
What Makes It an Ideal Kitchen Countertop Material?
These are the factors that make this engineered stone the perfect kitchen countertop material.
Durable Composition
It is far more durable than marble, offering high resistance to physical damage and easily enduring the demands of a busy culinary space.
Stain Resistant
You don’t have to worry about sealing your kitchen counters or panicking over a spilled glass of wine. Unlike porous natural stones that stain easily, its solid surface is built to repel common kitchen liquids effortlessly.
Slab Consistency
This material provides a consistent pattern across every slab, ensuring your countertops appear exactly as planned with perfectly matched seams.
Hygienic Surfaces
Its non-porous quality prevents the growth of bacteria and mould, ensuring the material remains hygienic and safe for contact with food.
Sophisticated Aesthetics
This brand is well-known for its marble-inspired range, offering the exquisite look of premium natural stone without the demanding upkeep.
What Are the Factors to Watch Out For?
Consider these aspects to mitigate the potential pitfalls when installing your new benchtops.
Heat Sensitivity
Due to the resin content in standard quartz materials, the surface is susceptible to heat damage. Direct contact with boiling pots can cause permanent yellowing or cracking. However, the latest sintered collections are engineered to withstand much higher temperatures.
Not UV Stable
Because quartz lacks UV resistance, it is best suited for indoor use to prevent discoloration or yellowing from intense sunlight.
