Questions about engineered marble
Is engineered marble natural marble?
It contains natural marble, but crushed and bonded with resin or cement: it is a manufactured material. The pattern comes out more even than a stone slab's, useful when many identical pieces are needed.
What is the difference between marble with resin and marble with cement?
The resin version has a finer finish, but the sun yellows it and it does not take direct heat: it stays indoors. The cement version looks more like terrazzo and handles moisture and the outdoors better.
Does engineered marble stain?
It absorbs less than many natural marbles, but it contains marble: lemon, vinegar or wine leave marks on the polish. Clean it with neutral soap and no acidic products.
