Natural Stone Benchtops
Natural stone benchtops stand out because they have the beauty and durability of a natural stone. By natural stone we mean materials like granite, marble or quartzite that are cut from solid rock. Each slab is unique and adds character to your kitchen, while being long-lasting, unique and adds character to your space.
Why Pick Natural Stone
One reason homeowners pick natural rock surfaces is that no two slabs look the same; you get veining, texture and natural variation that gives your kitchen that premium feel. These stone surfaces offer strong performance, and if you treat them well they will age beautifully.
Benefits And Considerations Of Stone
Here are some key advantages and things to know:
- The unique patterns of natural stone make your space look bespoke and high quality
- The material is strong and durable, built from rock formed under nature’s pressure, a big advantage for busy kitchens
- In many cases heat resistance and scratch resistance are very good when the stone is well-sealed
- Because it is porous, you do need to seal the surface regularly and wipe spills
- promptly to avoid staining

Some things to consider when choosing your benchtop
Colour tone: lighter tones make a space feel larger, darker tones add drama but show crumbs more. Darker colours with diamond sprinkles will remedy this.
Splashback match: choosing the same material for splashback creates a seamless look. However, you may choose to add some contrast by choosing another colour splashback or tiles.
