Engineered Stone combines natural quartz and silica sands under extreme pressure at very high temperatures to create an agglomerate product that looks like granite, marble, or travertine but is more durable and flexible.

  • Nonporous, engineered stone is stain-, acid-, and mold- and mildew-resistant and hard enough to resist chips and scratches.
  • Available in a variety of colors, patterns, and finishes, it is produced in 1/2", 3/4" and 1/4" thick slabs.
  • From $50 - $65 per square foot.
