Stone
Kapiti Benchtops offers the following solid surface ranges:
Engineered stone
Engineered stone is a product which consists of up to 93% natural quartz which gives it extraordinary hardness and resistance. Due to the compact and non-porous structure, engineered stone never requires sealing. Engineered stone comes in a variety of 20mm or 30mm slabs depending on product choice. Standard profile is a pencil edge.
Key advantages of using engineered stone:
- Hard wearing
- Stain resistant
- Low maintenance
- Non-porous

Granite
Granite is 100% natural. If you are after a unique kitchen benchtop, then this product is for you. No two slabs of granite are the same. Granite slabs generally come in 30mm thickness. Standard profile is a pencil edge.
As granite is porous it is recommended that it be re-sealed on an annual basis. Kapiti Benchtops can help with this process or provide advice so you can do it yourself.
Key advantages of using granite:
- Unique - Offers a variety of different patterns of veins, specks and swirls
- Durable - Extremely resistant to everyday use
- A natural product which is timeless
