Although traditional ceramic may have some common characteristics, it definitely doesn’t have all the characteristics of Sintered Stones such as its stain, chemical and heat resistance. Three major reasons cause the differences:
First, the raw materials used to produce Sintered Stones are more refined and purer to ensure a more uniform product.
Moreover, the machinery used to process these raw materials features the most advanced equipment and latest technology. The raw materials are pressed at a significantly higher pressure to get denser material.
Then, the pressed material is baked for almost 2 hours which is much longer than for traditional ceramic which includes cycles of around 40 minutes. These longer cycles create Sintered Stone with a stronger, non-absorbent surface.
