Engineered stone countertops are remarkable products, offering the 'best of both worlds' regarding durability and aesthetics. They're made to look and feel like stone yet they possess enhancements that nature couldn't provide - namely, the durability and cleanliness that comes with a non-porous surface..

It is quartz powder that is fused together at a very high heat. You can make it in patterns to look very much like granite, or other colors or patterns

Rival farm out their spares business to the people who sell them, which means no spares.

Can i use linseed oil on my granite counters

you should not use linseed oil or any other oil on granite countertops unless the desired look is a darker stone. The oil may not penetrate depending on the color and density. Linseed oils are generally only for soapstone.

Hand soap bottle sitting on vanity the soap worn off the finish under where the bottle was sitting

More than likely not worn off, the problem is likely soap scum that built up on the stone that wont come off, use #0000 steel wool, you may need to rub hard. try on inconspicuous place first. this will only work if it is a quartz product or natural stone. Do not use steel wool on a plastic type solid surface

When installing do you silicone each piece for example the faucet , the soap dispenser ,the sprayer , and the tap

Hi seawitch678,

If you have a granite or stone countertop/sink, use silicone as plumber's putty will stain the stone. Plumber's putty is petroleum based so it will not adhere to stone. Normally you should use what the manufacturer recommends and where they recommend. When installing a faucet, put either around the base of any piece that goes through the countertop.

Hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate your vote. Thanks,

Handie Andie

What is the solution to fixing small chips in my new granite countertop? The granite countertop was just installed a month ago and the company has not not responded to my letter about the chips in the...

Try using super glue, the thinner the better the adhesion. Once it is dry hold a single edge razor blade (use extreme caution, razors by nature are very sharp) perpendicular to the surface of the stone and scrape the glue flush, changing blades regularly. Do not use the blade to cut, as it will dig in and pull glue and possibly stone out, as you have discovered. Just take your time and scrape the glue until it is flush with the granite. If the spots are dull, you can use a little carnuba wax (automotive/hardware store) to shine it up. Some types of granite have more texture due to differences in the makeup of the stone which also gives the variety of color. I have filled entire countertops with this method, and it is tedious, but yields good results.
Feel free to contact me with any questions. Brandon Wiese

I have Granit kitchen worktops how do i get wine stains and every day stains off Many thanks

There is a cleaning kit sold by Home Depot in the kitchen counter top area of the store in black bottles for about $25 or so. The company that makes these are experts in cleaning stone. I would recommend calling them. After you get the stains out you will want to seal the counters using their seal or something else that is recommended by the manufacturer of your counters. The process to seal is simple and should be done every time you notice water absorbing into the stone (or ideally before that starts to happen). Good luck and your posting of the specific advice received from Stone Solutions and what you did and the result would be greatly appreciated.

Small chip in granite countertop

Well you should seal your granite counter at least once every two years because granite is pourus. Theres something called Granite Guard you can use to seal your counters and other different sealers as well. You can pick some up at your local home and garden supply store.
