Frequently Asked Questions
Stone benchtops have an extremely tight tolerance of just 2mm, meaning the substrate must be perfectly level to prevent any stress points or potential cracking in the stone once installed. This tiny margin for error requires careful preparation and checking of the substrate levels before the stone is placed. Our professional installers can ensure the installation process is handled with care.
The installers aim to position seams for the best appearance while maximizing the character of the stone. They use a seam setter tool to help level and align the seams properly during installation.
It’s recommended to extend the stone benchtops approximately 3/4 inch over the base cabinets. This helps hide any imperfections at the top of the base cabinets while providing more counter space.
Stone benchtops are extremely heavy – even a single piece can weigh 200 pounds or more. This highlights the importance of proper support and installation by professionals.
For peninsulas, consider:
- Having the stone veining positioned at an angle for aesthetic purposes
- Allowing adequate clearance between the benchtop edge and appliances (like refrigerators) for comfortable walking space
- Proper width planning to accommodate seating without knees hitting cabinets
Stone benchtops are attached using high-strength adhesive (such as epoxy or silicone) applied to the underside of the stone. They are then carefully positioned on level base cabinets and secured with mechanical fasteners, like brackets or screws, for added stability. This combination ensures the benchtop remains durable and securely in place.
Yes, stone benchtops are glued down using specialised adhesives designed to bond stone to cabinetry. The adhesive is often reinforced with mechanical fasteners to provide additional support and ensure the benchtop stays securely attached over time.
The installation process varies depending on the type of stone:
- Natural Stone (e.g., Granite, Marble): Requires reinforced cabinetry due to its weight. Careful handling is needed to prevent chipping, and sealing is essential to protect against stains and moisture.
- Engineered Stone (e.g., Caesarstone, Quartz): Easier to cut and fit, with less sealing required as it is non-porous. Seam alignment is crucial for a polished finish.
- Porcelain Stone (e.g., Dekton): Lightweight but brittle, requiring advanced tools and special adhesives. Precise handling and seam alignment are critical due to its ultra-thin format.
Each material has unique requirements, and our team tailors the installation to ensure durability and a flawless finish.
Thicker stone benchtops (30mm+) require reinforced cabinetry or brackets for support due to their weight. Thinner benchtops (20mm) may need edge laminations for a thicker look, requiring precise installation. The right thickness ensures durability and a seamless fit.
If you’re after all-round durability, choose granite or porcelain. Porcelain is our most heatproof stone, and granite is one of the strongest natural materials.
Stone benchtops are heat resistant but not heat proof. Therefore, we recommend avoiding putting hot things directly onto your stone benchtop. If you’re looking for a heatproof option, have a look at MSM Stone’s porcelain range of benchtops.
Unless sealed correctly, stone benchtops will stain from food and liquid. Upon installation, MSM Stone will seal your stone benchtop for you, to ensure its longevity. Every 2-5 years after this, the seal must be reapplied.
No. Due to stone benchtops being a natural material, using bleach to combat a stain will have the opposite effect. Stone benchtops need minimum care, so avoid using harsh chemicals to treat them.
We recommend resealing it every 2 – 5 years to prevent the introduction of stains on your benchtop. Use a damp sponge or cloth with a mild detergent to clean it, wiping down after each use or when needed. Avoid abrasive and excessive scrubbing.
