Dimensional Stability

Dimensional Stability

Dimensional stability concerning stone slabs is the stone’s capacity to uphold its shape and size consistently, even when exposed to external factors such as heat, humidity, water and other exterior elements.

Dimensional Stability in Stone

In stone worktops, poor dimensional stability can cause swelling or shrinkage, expansion or pressure in the material’s structure, causing uneven surfaces or cracks.

Dimensional Stability in Engineered Quartz Slabs

In engineered quartz surfaces, poor dimensional stability can bend the quartz slab over time, which can cause the countertop to become uneven and affect its appearance and functionality, an occurrence known as ‘banana shape’.
