A countertop, also counter top, counter, benchtop, worktop (British English) or kitchen bench (Australian or New Zealand English), bunker (Scottish English) is a raised, firm, flat, and horizontal surface. They are built for work in kitchens or other food preparation areas, bathrooms or lavatories, and workrooms in general.

3. Engineered stone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_stone

   Engineered stone. Engineered stone is a composite material made of crushed stone bound together by an adhesive to create a solid surface. The adhesive is most commonly polymer resin, with some newer versions using cement mix. This category includes engineered quartz (SiO 2), polymer concrete and engineered marble stone. [1]

4. Quartz - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz

   Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silica (silicon dioxide). The atoms are linked in a continuous framework of SiO 4 silicon–oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO 2. Quartz is, therefore, classified structurally as a framework silicate mineral and ...

5. Quartzite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartzite

   Quartzite is a very hard rock composed predominantly of an interlocking mosaic of quartz crystals. The grainy, sandpaper-like surface is glassy in appearance. Minor amounts of former cementing materials, iron oxide, silica, carbonate and clay, often migrate during recrystallization, causing streaks and lenses to form within the quartzite. [1 ...

6. Itacolumite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itacolumite

   Itacolumite is a naturally occurring sandstone that is flexible when cut into relatively thin slabs. It occurs at Itacolomi, its eponym, in the southern portion of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The stone is porous, and often yellow in color. It is also found in Kaliana village (Charkhi Dadri district, Haryana, India), [1] the US state of Georgia, and ...

7. Surface plate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plate

   A 250 mm x 250 mm surface plate. A surface plate is a solid, flat plate used as the main horizontal reference plane for precision inspection, marking out (layout), and tooling setup. [1] The surface plate is often used as the baseline for all measurements to a workpiece, therefore one primary surface is finished extremely flat with tolerances ...

8. Clastic rock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clastic_rock

   Clastic rocks are composed of fragments, or clasts, of pre-existing minerals and rock. A clast is a fragment of geological detritus, [1] chunks, and smaller grains of rock broken off other rocks by physical weathering. [2] Geologists use the term clastic to refer to sedimentary rocks and particles in sediment transport, whether in suspension or ...

9. Clay mineral - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_mineral

   Clay is a very fine-grained geologic material that develops plasticity when wet, but becomes hard, brittle and non–plastic upon drying or firing. [2][3][4] It is a very common material, [5] and is the oldest known ceramic. Prehistoric humans discovered the useful properties of clay and used it for making pottery. [6]
