Essastone Questions

Carolyn N.2y

I have black Essastone benchtops that I can not get clean. I have only ever used either water and a microfibre cloth or products suitable for stone but a cloudy film is left after wiping and I can't bring it back to the original finish. Help!

I am not the manufacturer. I am a very disappointed person who has essastone benchtops that are impossible to maintain - stains, water marks and chips etc. Please contact the manufacturer but don’t expect much in the way of assistance!

How long is the quarantee for essa stone? Do you cover the cracks?

I’m not sure. We’ve never done that. We always use cork boards.

Hello. After reading the reviews for Essastone I am very hesitant to replace my kitchen bench with the product. The issue is that I am after a specific colour and the Essastone Bitumen design Igneous finish fits the bill. I am not sure the unfavourable reviews are with light coloured benchtops and the darker colours in the Evolve collection wear differently. Can anyone give me some feedback on this particular product, maybe you have it currently in your kitchen and you are happy or unhappy with it. Thank you, Kelly B

We moved into a new house 16 months ago which has an Essastone kitchen bench. We have been really happy with it. It hasn’t faded, stained or chipped. Although I must say we look after it!

If you intend to do the same, I would recommend it.

Due to binding agent in engineered quartz being resin (usually around 5%) in dark colours they reflect any changes in surface like oils being left behind. As the resin is different in make up to the quartz, when cleaning it is quite difficult to get a streak free look. Dark gloss colours are going to be a nightmare for cleaning in terms of a benchtop application in most instances. Even anti-fingerprint laminate, although better for protecting against day to day touching, isn't immune to watermark in black. The trick is minimise oils and detergents being left on the surface. That is, if you're cleaning with a detergent, followup that process with a papertowel or microfibre cloth and use a light evaporative cleaner, such as metho & water or window cleaner. The more grease, oils or detergent left on the benchtop, the susceptible it is to showing marks when touched or things moved over it. My rule of thumb with a benchtop is if you want it to be easy to maintain, choose a mid-tone or light colour with an attractive pattern or fleck as you will be less likely to notice the day to day fingermarks (visually) and it will look good for longer (not as noticeable scratch wise).

what kind of edge you choose?

Hi, what's the thickness of your bench? 20mm or greater?

Hi, it's 40mm. I don't think the thickness makes any difference as it's the top edge that is most likely to chip not the whole edge of the bench. It just can't take the same kind of relatively small knocks on the edge, that wood, steel or even laminex can easily take.
