SINTERED STONE COUNTERTOPS & SLABS
If you are looking for an alternative option to a solid marble or granite countertop or slab, then Sintered Stone countertops and slabs are something to consider.
What are Sintered Stone Slabs?
Sintered Stone Slabs are made with granite minerals, glass minerals and natural oxides. Therefore, they are a 100% natural material (although the fact that they are manufactured makes them different to stones such as marble and granite). They are highly durable, and cannot be etched, scratched, burned, or stained. In addition, it is also both weatherproof and waterproof. Therefore it is a versatile option for both indoor and outdoor use. Because it can be made into large formats, it can be used for a wide range of applications: sintered stone countertops, sintered stone flooring, sintered stone wall cladding and more.
Sintered Stone is produced using the very latest in sintering technology. This technology replicates a natural stone forming process which usually takes thousands of years, in a matter of hours. The raw materials which form the slab are first subjected to extremely high pressure. In this first process, a weight of 400 bars is applied to stone. In the second phase of the process, the slab goes through a kiln where temperatures reach more than 1200°C (2200°F). This process of ultra-compaction creates full-body surfaces with unique technical features.

How unique do you want your countertops or surfaces to be?
