Jason Chuck Pure white in an quartz will show everything, there are better quartz brands and products out their, they just have a very good Marketing Machine. Any stain can be removed, and removed quickly. Caesarstone do not have a clue nor do they wish you to know what the issues are with stain removal as they wish you to think this this wonderful product. You only have to look at their video here..... which if you notice mentions and does show how to wipe off an IMAGINARY stain left overnight. Where our videos and products actually show how to do it Why also we put out a Care & Cleaning Essentials for Stone & Quartz as it is an very easy material to look after and does not have the staining issues of granite with oils etc. PS Luke Buckle Caesarstone is one brand of Quartz .... not a surface type itself. It would be like calling all granites - blue pearl

Ok, so we don't need engineered stone in our kitchen, as we have it there already, but we just had more of the same stone installed in our new powder room & ensuite to match the kitchen's earthy colour scheme. We do, however, need to choose a natural granite for our alfresco kitchen as engineered stones are not covered by manufactures' warranty in our situation. So, I stick with engineered and natural stones for the long term bench top of choice.

Although I'm not a professional in the matter, I've worked with enough bench tops to know that its good to find a happy medium when it comes to the thickness (or thinness) of bench tops. The thinner the top the more prone it is to cracking, instability etc. Not saying you have to get the thickest bench top around, but talk to a few professionals about what the daily usage looks like. How its being affixed, ie if you have a waterfall bench top etc, makes a lot of difference too.

The renovation is calming in comparison to previous kitchen. The colours of kitchen and the flooring will definitely last the test of time. Well done to you and your clients.
