Thinking about a new kitchen, bathroom or alfresco and not sure which benchtop to choose?
Porcelain, marble, granite, quartzite or the new generation of silica-free engineered stone… they all look great, but they perform very differently.
In this video, I break down:
✔️ Which stones chip the easiest
✔️ Which stones stain and which don’t
✔️ Can you put hot pans directly on them?
✔️ Maintenance requirements
✔️ Real-world costs
✔️ What works best for kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor areas
✔️ What most homeowners get wrong before they buy
The truth is there isn’t one perfect benchtop. The right choice depends on your budget, lifestyle and how you actually use your home.
Watch before you spend thousands on the wrong surface.
