Engineered Stone Countertops

Engineered stone countertops, also commonly known as quartz countertops, are made up of 93% quartz with pigments and polymer blends. This combination makes for a durable, non-porous, and easy-to-maintain countertop surface that is quickly becoming one of the most popular options for homeowners. Call Sheppard’s Countertops & Floors in Benton, LA, to schedule a consultation and learn more about engineered stone countertops.

Advantages of Engineered Stone Countertops

One of the biggest advantages of engineered stone countertops is their durability. Because they are made up of mostly quartz, they are incredibly resistant to scratches, chips, and cracks. They are also non-porous, which means that they are resistant to stains and do not absorb liquids like natural stone countertops. This makes them a great option for families with young children or messy cooks.


Another advantage of engineered stone countertops is their low maintenance requirements. They do not require any sealing or special cleaning products, making them an easy-to-maintain option for busy homeowners. All that is needed is a simple wipe-down with soap and water or a mild cleanser to keep them looking their best.

Engineered Stone is:

  • Non-porous, so no need to seal it!
  • Scratch resistant
  • Stain resistant
  • Mold and mildew-resistant
  • Less likely to crack or chip than granite or marble
  • Sanitary

How to Care for Engineered Stone Countertops

While engineered stone countertops are low maintenance, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure that they stay looking their best. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, as these can scratch the surface of the countertop. Additionally, it is important to avoid exposing the countertop to excessive heat, such as placing hot pots or pans directly on the surface. While engineered stone countertops are heat resistant, prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause damage.
