It is hard to imagine what the raw mixture of rocks used to make sintered stone undergoes before it becomes a slab from which your worktop can be fabricated. Crushed stone dust, sand and clay withstands terrifying pressure: just imagine it pressed by the weight of two Eiffel Towers. The compressed slabs are literally baked in a special oven at a temperature of 1 200 degrees Celsius or even hotter. This technology naturally melts and fuses the minerals together, giving the new material exceptional physical and mechanical properties.

Sintered stone is very hard and 100% natural material, resistant to scratching and extreme heat. Thin sintered stone slabs can be used to make furniture facades, fireplace surrounds, indoor and outdoor wall cladding. This material is special - you won't be able to damage a quality sintered stone surface by burning or scratching it with a knife. Some sintered stone brands are paint-resistant, which means that graffiti can be easily wiped from them leaving no trace. Because of this feature, sintered panels are sometimes used to clad school facades.

Sintered stone is manufactured from similar raw materials as ceramics and porcelain, but there are two key differences: the additional components and the pressure applied. Sintered stone also contains the raw materials used to manufacture quartz and glass, which makes sintered surfaces stronger and more durable than porcelain. In addition, extreme pressure and temperature is used to compress and fuse the components together. The conditions in which sintered stone is manufactured resembles those deep inside the earth needed for rocks to be formed naturally. Today's high technologies simulate these processes and speed up the process. While it takes millions of years for the rock to form in the ground, modern technology reduces the time to one or two days.
