Reconstituted Stones
The newest and most innovative form of bench top is the large range of reconstituted stones from a variety of suppliers. These stones are man made from crushed granite and quartz and on par with the natural stones in their beauty but also can be more resiliant to breakages and more stain and heat resistant. The colours are more consistant than the natural stones however there can be differences between batches.

Quantum Quartz
Quartz engineered (aggregate) stones combine two major ingredients: a natural mineral and glass, metal and oyster shells (the ‘filler’) and a resin (the ‘binder’), along with a range of additives. These are combined and then cast in a curing process to produce sheets of engineered stones. The main filler used in quartz-based engineered stones is quartz. In addition to this, coloured glass, oyster shells and metal are used to enhance the surface features of the stone. The proportion of quartz used varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Quantum Quartz® is made using a combination of 93% quartz, the remaining 7% is made up of resin, recycled coloured glass, oyster shells, colours and binders. Quantum Quartz offer a 10 year limited warranty.
Quantum Quartz® is a non-porous, easy-care engineered stone that can be worked and shaped in the same way as marble and granite. It doesn’t require sealing and is highly resistant to heat, chips, stains and scratches. The manufacturing process ensures uniformity of colour, and the finish has no veins, cracks or pores. Quantum Quartz® is available both in honed and highly glossy finishes, in slab and tile format.
A wide selection of colours, ranging from neutrals to bolds, is available.
