Granite is mostly used for kitchens and bathrooms. It can resist heat, stains and scratches. Many of them love it because of their natural appearance which attracts the room. But engineered products are gaining popularity slowly. Engineered stone is 90 percent made up of natural quartz. But granite is only 40 to 60 percent made up of quartz and the rest is made up of softer minerals. Engineered product requires less maintenance when compared to granite because it is non-porous. The durability of engineered product is great. If the surface gets a minor stain or scratch, someone from the fabrication shop can buff it out. Engineered stone are also called as man made stone. Granite is not manmade but it is a natural stone. Man made quartz surface are more heat resistant than natural stone. If a hot pot is kept on granite it can crack. None of the manufacturers recommend putting hot items directly on the surface of any man made products. Many manufacturers provide 10 year limited warranted for this type of product. But in the case of granite, manufacturers only provide base warranty.Granite Houston]]> Granite New Orleans]]> Countertops Houston]]> C]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Why-Engineered-Stone-/538886 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Why-Engineered-Stone-/538886
