Sintered Stone

All you need to know

Key information to consider when selecting and specifying this surface — covering performance, application, and the essential details that inform both design and function.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Advantages


  • UV resistance and colour stability. It does not fade or yellow under long-term sunlight exposure, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

  • Stain resistance and easy cleaning. With an extremely dense, non-porous surface, it resists liquid penetration. Most stains can be wiped away easily with water or mild detergent.

  • Waterproof and corrosion-resistant. Impervious to water, oil, and common chemical cleaners, maintaining stability in humid or corrosive environments.

  • Food or most household stains can be wiped with a non-abrasive sponge, scrubber or damp cloth dipped in a little cleaner or soapy water and then rinsed with clean water.

  • Extreme hardness and scratch resistance. Sintered stone is highly wear-resistant and not easily scratched by everyday utensils, knives or metal objects, making it ideal for high-traffic surfaces.

  • Food-safe and hygienic. Non-toxic and BPA-free, it is suitable for direct food contact, making it ideal for kitchen benchtops and dining surfaces.

  • Heat and high-temperature resistance. It can withstand high temperatures without deformation, discolouration or burning and can come into direct contact with hot cookware.

Precautions


  • Avoid heavy impact or strong pounding. Although hard, it is brittle and may crack or chip under sudden heavy impact.

  • Use proper adhesives and base support. A solid, flat base and special adhesive are necessary to prevent hollowing, shifting, or cracking after installation.

  • Prevent sudden temperature changes. Avoid placing extremely cold objects directly on a very hot surface to reduce thermal shock risk.

  • Professional cutting & installation required. Sintered stone is dense and difficult to process; improper cutting or handling can lead to breakage. Professional tools and installers are recommended.

  • Handle with care during transportation. It should be placed vertically and supported evenly to avoid bending stress or edge collisions.

  • Do not use strong corrosive cleaners. Although chemically resistant, long-term use of strong acids or alkalis may damage the surface finish.

  • Sealing is usually not needed. Unlike natural stone, sintered stone does not require periodic sealing, and improper sealing may affect its appearance.
