Re: Caesarstone, Marble or Granite

Engineered stone is not all its marketing hype claims. I have samples in my shop of the engineered stone which are stained - and not intentionally. If you have engineered stone in your house and it should catch fire - just get out. Don't even try to fight it. The plastic resins binding the quarts are flamable and toxic. I just proved this in a class at my shop last weekend. Joh has the pictures to prove it.
If it is the white look that you like about the marble check out Bianco Romano granite. Natural stone does not take nearly as much care as you may think. Do a water test every couple of months to be sure your sealer is working but do not put any more sealer than you need because ver sealing will leave a haze on the stone. Use a proper cleaner and your granite will be trouble free. I recommend a cleaner like the Lustro Italliano.
