SINTERED STONE
Sintered Stone is a new kind of material that is made from feldspar powder together with many other minerals. Just as the name suggested, Sintered Stone goes through an engineered process of sintering, which uses high temperature and pressure to produce a solid mass that feels just like real stone. While they are commonly used for countertops and sinks, their durability and wide range of surfaces – from rough to smooth to intricate embossing – make them applicable in various interior and exterior settings.
Some of Sintered Stone’s standout features include:
- Silica-free: Sintered Stone is completely free of crystalline silica.
- Composition: Sintered Stone is made entirely from minerals.
- High-temperature sintering: Sintered Stone is forged at high temperatures up to 2300°F, resulting in a very dense material with strong molecular bonds.
- Low water absorption: <0.5%
- UV resistance
- Stain resistance
- Digital printing: Unlike other engineered stones, Sintered Stone is able to achieve a wide range of vivid designs matching any aesthetics through automated digital printing technology that is then set at a high temperature to preserve the color depth and saturation.
