Caesarstone vs. other engineered stone - Kitchen appliances
Caesarstone is made in Israel, others are made in Korea and Vietnam mostly, not sure if it affects the quality in any way, but definitely affects the price :) However, in saying it, CaesarStone was not available in the colour we wanted when we built, so our stonemason offered us Quantum-quartz with huge discount. 1.5 years later we have no regrets, and once installed can't tell the difference ...

Fixing dull spots in Caesarstone Bench - Kitchen appliances
Pans off cooktop, pizza stones from 250c oven, roast pans. You need to insert “might” instead of will. Noticed a similar issue today – our caesarstone is about 9 years old – very light colour (whiteish). Noticed, at an angle, an area that looks like the sealant may have been removed. cleaning does nothing.

Anyone got bianco drift caesarstone? - Kitchen appliances
I'm considering getting bianco drift caesarstone for my kitchen benchtops. I haven't yet been able to see a whole slab of the stuff but only small samples. If you have it, is it grey, or more beige toned? I notice some samples have some brown in them occasionally. If you have it, what is your colour scheme?

Caesarstone manufacture risk. Any alternatives? - Home - Whirlpool Forums
Caesarstone have already said they will make silica free products that will look similar to their existing ones AFAIK. So good chance you will still be able to get it, no idea if it's going to be as durable though, but I suspect it will be similar, just probably a bit more expensive. User #504041 5381 posts. Ploggy.

Making hole in Caesarstone top - Kitchen appliances - Whirlpool Forums
Clamp this down over the place you want to cut through the stone. Use the cut out in the timber to fill with water and use a tile or diamond tipped hole saw to cut through. The timber helps as a guide and the water keeps it cool. User #27671 11622 posts.

Caesarstone Join - Should I accept this? - Kitchen appliances
Depends on a few things: the installer, the colour of the stone itself, the location of the join in terms of lighting and prominence in the kitchen and, most importantly, your level of perfectionism. Some people are simply more tolerant than others of this sort of thing (up to a point of course). schminks!

Caesarstone - opinions and alternatives - Lifestyle - Whirlpool Forums
Caesarstone is a brandname and not a benchtop type. It is pretty much the most expensive of the engineered quartz benchtops due to its prestige brandname. There are plenty of other engineered quartz benchtops that are a lot cheaper, eg quantum quartz, surfacestone.

Caesarstone benchtop - how to drill a hole? - Kitchen appliances
Clamps, to stop the template from moving. An assistant to help. You'll need to drill slowly, but not too slowly. Drill on an angle to start with, until the bit goes into the stone about 2 or 3 mm. Then you can straighten it up ("go vertical") and drill through the benchtop. Don't inhale the dust- it's somewhat toxic.

YDL stone benchtop - Kitchen appliances - Whirlpool Forums
A cheaply made product will contain more resin to make the material white. For kitchen benchtops (heat, milk, knives, food stains) my order of most practical and durable 'stone', from best to worst would be: Granite – small, tight grain. Granite – any other. Stone Italiana or Caesarstone Manufactured Stone. Polished Concrete.

Cutting Cesarstone benchtop (for a cooktop). - Kitchen appliances
Cutting 30mm Caesarstone is not a job for an amateur- one slip and your benchtop is comprehensively ruined or (even worse) you're off to hospital with a severe injury. Oh- and the dust from the cutout is toxic too. Best to let someone else breathe it in! User #254944 10002 posts. In My Opinion.
