First of all, many people will ask what is Sintered Stone? It is a new material that is composed of natural raw materials. The production process is through more than 33,000 tons of press molding, combined with advanced production technology and surface treatment to get a special texture effect and texture sense, and more than a thousand degrees of high-temperature sintering. The complex production process gives the final product good performance, to meet the requirements of deep fabrication processing, such as cutting, opening holes, chamfering, and edge grinding.
In fact, Sintered Stone began to slowly emerge as a new type of building decoration material as early as 2017. Here we have to clarify a misunderstanding: in some areas, Sintered Stone is also called Porcelain Slab or Porcelain Tile. But in fact, Porcelain Tile and Sintered Stone are two completely different products from the production process and product performance perspective. First of all, Sintered Stone can be used on walls and countertops, and its water absorption rate is close to zero, and its impact resistance and scratch resistance are far better than Porcelain tile. The water absorption rate of Sintered Stone is extremely low and it is antibacterial, so it is very suitable for use in the bathroom and other humid environments.
Because the material itself is better than other decorative materials, there are many industry professionals called Sintered Stone an “all-purpose applications material”.
In terms of appearance:
First, Sintered Stone color is more vivid and can restore the texture and beauty of the natural stone. Early promotion of sintered stone in the exhibition and major platforms are focused on the texture to imitate the natural marble such as Calacatta, Carrara, and Statuario.
But with the improvement of people’s aesthetic and personalized demand, as well as the advanced degree of production technology, Sintered Stone color is no longer limited to natural stone colors. Sintered Stone designers will develop veins according to the trend of more popular colors.
Second, the Sintered Stone has delicate texture restoration, real texture, and light moisture. Sintered Stone attracts us not only through the visual but in the sense of touch. Wood grain, leather grain, rust grain, and other surface effects of Sintered Stone, can bring more artistic creation inspiration to designers and allows the customer to see the potential infinite possibilities of sintered stone. While meeting a variety of style switching, it also provides more options for space changes.
Third, the Sintered Stone size is large, which includes 1.2×2.4m, 1.2×2.6m, 0.8×2.6m, and 1.6×3.2m. A single piece can cover from the bottom to the top of the wall, which gives the decoration a stronger overall sense of pattern. The large size and continuous pattern can meet the integrity of the space, and bring customers a visual experience and life experience different from the traditional design.
In terms of performance:
The good feature of Sintered Stone can be summarized as:
- Fire and high-temperature resistance
- 100% natural material which is health and safety, can be directly used for food-grade appliances surface
- Non-toxic and non-radiation
- Scratch-resistant
- Resistance to erosion and knife cutting
- Corrosion resistance
- Antibacterial
- Stain resistance
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Impact resistance
- Non-slip
Sintered Stone as a decorative material can be used in all corners of our lives. The performance is outstanding and it is also suitable for personalization applications, such as sintered stone dining tables, island tables, and cabinet door and furniture panels.
