IS ENGINEERED STONE RESTORATION LEGAL AND SAFE?

In recent years, engineered stone has become increasingly more popular due to its durability and resilience. It has become a top choice for kitchens and bathrooms and is renowned for its sturdiness and elegant charm. Engineered stone is composed primarily of a blend of crushed quartz, resin, pigments and other materials, and offers the beauty of natural stone, while having diamondlike hardness. However, like any other stone surface, engineered stone is susceptible to general wear and tear, scratches, dull spots, stains and so on. To maintain and preserve your engineered surfaces, engineered stone restoration plays a crucial role and is vital for maintenance.

Engineered stone has been a controversial and hot topic for discussion in recent times. The main concern regarding engineered stonework is the silica dust produced when engineered stone is grinded, polished, cut, and worked on in the working environment. The silica dust particles produced is 100 times smaller than a grain of sand and can have serious health effects, damaging your lungs and causing various lung diseases, for example silicosis. 

As previously mentioned, we have obtained our mandatory Engineered Stone License from WorkSafe Victoria, license number WSV-0150568905. Once again, we prioritise your safety and our safety when it comes to engineered stone restoration. We ensure all methods involve the use of water and no silica dust particles are produced, creating a safe environment for everyone involved.
