Frequently Asked Questions

Care and Maintenance

What is the best way to clean my stone benchtop?
For all types of surfaces (natural stone and engineered stone) generally a clean, damp cloth will do the trick. For more stubborn stains, use a few drops of non-bleach, non-abrasive, neutral PH stone cleaner (available at most hardware stores like bunnings), or a small amount of mild liquid dishwashing detergent mixed with warm water.

For best results, use a clean rag mop on floors and a soft cloth for other surfaces.
NOTE: Some manufacturers (like Caesarstone or Smart Stone) will send you a complimentary cleaning kit with cream cleaner included, when you register your warranty online. Check manufacturer’s websites for details.

Can I put hot pots and pans directly onto my stone benchtop?
This is not recommended for any natural or reconstituted stone benchtop as the sudden change in temperature can cause it to react and either stain (burn), fracture or crack.

Product and Purchasing

Blank
Should I use marble or granite for my kitchen benchtop?
Granite is a more suitable and durable stone than marble to use for a kitchen benchtop as it has a high resistance to scratching and heat, will not etch with acidic liquids and does not absorb moisture like marble. It is also more resistant to bacteria as it is less porous. Beware of cheap imitation granites though as these contain some calcite and will etch. Test with lemon juice to ensure the stone you are purchasing is pure granite. If the stone contains some calcite it will etch or develop a dull spot. If you use marble, expect it to stain, and understand that to keep it looking good it will require regular repolishing.
Can I order the stone benchtop by itself, without installation?
Yes, you can. Simply specify on your quote request and we will give you a supply only price.
Is the removal of my old benchtop included in the quote?
No, however, we can include a cost to remove your old benchtop if required. Please contact us on 0433 472 142 to discuss the details so we can recommend the best course of action and ensure you are not without a benchtop for too long.
