Engineered Stone
Engineered stone is a man made alternative to solid granite in the same way that MDF is to solid wood. Using 93% natural stone particles, quartz and colouring in a resin matrix, engineered stones combine the best properties of granite with more consistent and brighter colours. Heat resistant and less brittle than granite, it is highly scratch-resistant and non-porous, making it ideal for kitchen worktops. We have a huge range of colours from these manufacturers: Technistone, Santa Margherita, Quarella, Laminam, Pietre Vetro and Caesarstone.
Quartzlite
Quartzlite is a new process combining a 12mm surface of Engineered stone bonded onto a lightweight substrate. This, combined with the clean jointing properties of engineered stone, allows us to make tops that appear to be much thicker whilst having a sensible weight, an important consideration in these health and safety conscious times!

Unlike other surfaces, Engineered stone requires almost
no maintenance at all (except general cleaning). Thanks to its non-porous
surface, no
residues can penetrate it and leave permanent stains.
Caraco Price Calculator
Use this calculator to find a rough price for your tops. For simplicity this guide is based on 30mm thick single edged tops, 650 mm deep. We can of course cut larger or smaller pieces with different edge detail. Click here to get an accurate estimate.
