How does natural stone compare to solid  surface or other engineered stone?
 

Natural stone is elegant, durable and each piece has a distinct design that makes it ‘one-of-a-kind.’ That means the stone that you choose is distinctively yours. Manufactured stone products are made with stone fragments held together by an epoxy or resin and colored with pigments. These products can have the look and feel of stone, but they are mass-produced and not ‘one-of-a-kind.’

 

Should I seal my natural stone?
 

Sealing is a common step taken on some stones as an extra precaution against staining. Sealing products used in the stone industry are “impregnators” which act as a repellent rather than a sealer. Sealing does not make the stone stain proof; rather it makes the stone more stain resistant. The application of impregnating sealers is a common practice. However, when consulting with your stone supplier, you may find that many stones do not require sealing.
