| Re: Caesarstone, Marble or Granite We have a lot of clients with honed carrera and they love them. Honed limestone is also very popular. It can still stain, scratch and etch, but if you seal the stone you will minimize the staining and if you have a honed finish you will not notice the etches as much (vs polished). If you choose honed carrera you can often remove the etch marks (rings/drips) with a very fine grit sandpaper. If you like a high polished surface go with granite. Some granites are very porous and need to be sealed, but they are very resistant to scratches and etches. Engineered stone can never match the beauty of natural stone. You can also expect your natural stone countertops to last several hundred years... don't know how long engineered stone will last. |
