Artificial Marble Engineered Stone

Engineered stones are also commonly referred to as agglomerate or agglomerated stone are a mix of marble powder, resin, and pigment cast using vacuum oscillation to form blocks. 

Slabs are then produced by cutting, grinding, with a special, low-viscosity, high-strength polyester resin to improve hardness, strength, and gloss and to reduce water absorption.

There are two major varieties of engineered stones based on the main composition of its aggregates (stone powders), marbles, and quartz. The process is more or less similar except in certain details, however, the two products have different commercial applications. Engineered marbles are most commonly used as flooring for large commercial projects. Engineered quartz is widely used in the developed world for countertops, window sills, and floor and wall coverings.
