    No it isn’t.

    How about real stone? That’s pretty analogous to fake stone. Wood isn’t even pretending.

      I’m sure you’ll find breathing stone dust doesn’t do you any favour’s either. Strange to be they banned the product instead of mandating wet saws or something.

        Funnily enough, we ended up with a very pretty real granite in our kitchen last year because it was 25% cheaper than the engineered options we found.
