An engineered marble countertop, also known as cultured marble, is a man-made surface made by combining crushed marble with a binder, such as polyester resin, to create a durable and uniform material that can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes.
Engineered marble is a popular alternative to natural marble, as it offers a similar appearance but with a lower cost and greater durability. It is available in a wide range of colors and patterns, and can be customized to fit the specific needs and style preferences of homeowners.
Compared to natural marble, engineered marble is also more resistant to staining, scratching, and heat damage, making it a popular choice for kitchen and bathroom countertops. However, it may not be as resistant to impact or chipping as natural stone materials.
