How silica-free benchtops are made?
Silica-free benchtops are crafted using alternative materials and processes to avoid the health risks of crystalline silica, which can cause inhaled silicosis. The production of these benchtops involves using different materials that provide similar durability, aesthetics, and functionality without silica.

Natural vs. Engineered stone for bench-tops.

Unlike natural stone benchtops which are cut from pure granite or marble, engineered stone counters are made from quartz crystals. The crystals are tightly compacted and held together with a polymer resin.
Taking care of your engineered stone bench-top.
Engineered stone is a man-made rock composed of a variety of crushed stones, primarily quartz crystals, that are tightly compacted and then bonded with a polymer resin. Quartz is highly resistant to scratches and chips, measuring a six to seven on the measure of hardness scale (Mohs).
Considerations when selecting a headstone.
