There are advantages to choosing manufactured stone over natural stone. Through the manufacturing process, the slab takes on tendencies that will benefit you in the long run such as resistance to abrasions, dents, and more. They are also heat resistant and unlikely to stain.

One of the most appealing features is the wide variety of colors, textures, and patterns of manufactured stone. This means you’ll be able to find a slab that meets your price point and has the features you are looking for. Many brands are constantly innovating to come up with new colors and patterns meaning you’ll benefit from friendly brand competition.

Manufactured stone products are easy to obtain. Many stores work with a variety of brands who produce slabs that can be used for your project. Since the product is manufactured, the availability isn’t dependent on the natural resources of the world. Engineered stone, such as quartz, is abundant and the final slab is nontoxic and hypoallergenic. All of these factors combined means they don’t need to be replaced often making them a more ecofriendly option.
