What Is Sintered Stone?

Sintered stone encompasses modern technology’s advancements in creating a highly reliable engineered stone. It is created by compressing raw materials using heat, compression, and vibrations. The result is a manufactured stone that is durable yet also beautiful.

Sintered stone has been used for a variety of different surfaces. Popular choices among homeowners and interior designers include sintered stone countertops, sintered stone tables, and sintered stone wall panels.

Sintered Stone Pros

In recent years, sintered stone slabs have become an increasingly popular choice among homeowners seeking a material that is practical, long-lasting, but also beautiful. Sintered stone countertops are the perfect slab for modern life and are perfect for anyone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen.

Neolith sintered stone countertops are scratch-proof, heat-resistant, water-proof, and anti-bacterial. They do not require any sealing and are quite light. As a bonus, they are low-maintenance and easy to clean.

Sintered Stone Cons

Sintered stone slabs can be expensive for anyone on a budget. However, they are often more affordable than natural stones like marble and granite, or even manufactured stone like quartz. Regardless, the incredible durability and low maintenance of sintered stone mean it’s a worthwhile investment that will last decades.

Another disadvantage of sintered stone is that any chips or nicks are more difficult to repair than natural stones like marble or granite.

Sintered Stone vs. Quartz

Both sintered stone and quartz are highly advanced manufactured stones, but they do have their differences.

  • Aesthetics: One of the main differences between sintered stone and quartz is that sintered stone is composed entirely of natural materials, while quartz contains resin. Therefore, sintered stone more closely resembles the organic look of natural stone. Black sintered stone and calcatta sintered stone are popular options.
  • Durability: Sintered stone and quartz are durable, non-porous, and scratch-resistant. Both are hardwearing, but sintered stone is slightly more hardwearing than quartz. Moreover, it is heat-resistant and less like to fade in the sunlight than quartz.
  • Maintenance: Both sintered stone and quartz are easy to maintain. They don’t require sealing and can be wiped down to clean with no hassle.
  • Cost: Sintered stone usually costs more per square foot than quartz.

Sintered Stone vs. Marble

Sintered stone and marble are two popular choices for kitchen countertops. Choosing between them comes down to your preferences in terms of aesthetics, durability, and maintenance.

  • Aesthetics: Since it’s a natural stone, every slab of marble will be utterly unique and varied. In turn, sintered stone has a uniform, sleek look.
  • Durability: Both sintered stone and marble are incredibly hardwearing. However, marble can be susceptible to scratches and staining from acids and high-pigment substances. Both sintered stone and marble are heat resistant.
  • Maintenance: Marble is a high-maintenance slab that requires periodic re-sealing and careful cleaning with a natural stone-safe cleaner. In contrast, sintered stone is low maintenance and does not need to be sealed.
  • Cost: High-quality marble is more expensive than sintered stone.
