Natural stone
Stone types differ in porosity and response to spills. Discuss the specific stone, any sealing needs and suitable care. An impregnator improves resistance to absorption but does not make a surface damage-proof.
Engineered stone surfaces
Composition and performance depend on the brand and range. For example, Silestone recommends trivets for hot objects. Do not assume that all stone-like worktops behave the same way.
Laminate on a substrate
Joints and the sink cut-out need particular attention. Do not leave water around seams, where it can reach the wood-based substrate. For every worktop, agree supports, overhangs and sink installation.
Check before ordering
- Brand and range specified
- Joints and sink planned
- Care guidance available
