Sintered stone holds up to the sun, and resistant to heat, and will not yellow over time.
Sintered stone is produced with sintering technology. The materials used include minerals and natural oxides, and they go under high pressure through a pressing machine. Approximate weight of 33000 tons is applied. The formed slab is placed in a kiln where it is exposed to temperatures greater than 1200 degrees Celsius. This process of ultra-compaction creates these surfaces that have unique features.
Sintered stone has better resistance to stains, impacts, heat, and chemicals compared with quartz, heat resistance is a particularly popular characteristic as quartz can have burn marks or change color when subjected to heat. With quartz, you can yellow or mar the surface with extreme temperature exposure, but with sintered stones, they are formed at such high temperatures and with such a tight matrix, that you can put that hot pot down on a sintered stone countertop without any worries about the discoloration.
Sintered stone material that can be used outdoors, looks amazing today and looks amazing in ten years. The UV resistance of sintered stones means they hold up to the sun, and will not yellow over time like quartz. The inability to endure exposure to the sun is a known limitation of quartz and sintered stone was formulated to overcome that issue.
Since sintered stone is UV and heat resistant, it can be used as kitchen countertops and as well as indoor and outdoor flooring.
Therefore, please do not worry about the discoloration of the sintered stone products while using them.
