Sintered Stone is a popular choice among both designers and homeowners due to its versatility, beauty, practicality, and affordability.
It is a synthetic surfacing material made entirely of minerals and formed by heat. Unlike engineered stone countertops or quartz countertops, which use resins as binders, sintered stone contains no binders. The materials are heated to such a high temperature and pressed that the minerals fuse, essentially becoming their binder.
What Sintered Stone Is Used For
Around the home, sintered stone is used to make kitchen and bathroom countertops. Sintered stone can be installed on nearly any surface that requires durable, large-format materials: flooring, wall cladding, and exterior facades and siding.
What are the Benefits of Sintered Stone?

Durable material
Weatherproof
