About Sintered Stone:
Sintered Stone is manufactured using recent technological advancements which mimic the processes that form natural stones. While natural stones like marble and granite are formed over thousands of years, Sintered Stone slabs take just a few hours. Sintered Stone is different in that it is made entirely from natural materials which are formed into incredibly strong and durable slabs which have countless applications. The sintering process uses extreme heat and pressure to bond a material together without melting it with the resulting product being much stronger than the individual parts. When making slabs of Sintered Stone, the raw materials are compacted under a huge pressure of up to 400 bars (5800 PSI!). After that, they are baked at a temperature of 1,200oC, creating a slab of incredibly strong and versatile stone– just like they would be deep in the earth’s crust for thousands of years, but achieved much quicker. This process is called sintering. When the process is finished, the particles are bonded together permanently, without the need for resins or bonding agents, to create Sintered Stone. Sintered Stone is a popular choice among both designers and homeowners due to the versatility, beauty, practicality and affordability of the product.

Sintered stone has a better resistance to stains, impacts, heat and chemicals compared with Quartz, heat resistance is a particularly popular characteristic as Quartz can have burn marks or change colour when subjected to heat.Sintered Stone is an excellent option for outdoor projects as it is weatherproof and waterproof, whereas it is not recommended to use quartz outside.Both materials are harder than Granite and available in a variety of colours.

In contrast, Sintered Stones are those man-made stone countertops which copy the looks and patterns of natural stone slabs. This material is also slightly cheaper than quartz, running between $65 to $100 per square foot.

How do sintered stones differ from porcelains?

The minerals are different, the temperature at which they are heated varies by brand, and they’re manufactured in different ways. All of these points contribute to why sintered stone is stronger than porcelain.Porcelain is manufactured in a high pressure environment (same, lol). This tension within porcelain can make it susceptible to chips, and more importantly, cracks. Sintered stone can handle rapid temperature changes, whether it’s a hot pot fresh off the stove, or a dose of liquid nitrogen (-350ºF!!). Porcelain cannot handle such rapid temperature changes which makes it susceptible to the common plumber’s ailment: major cracking.The thicknesses also vary. Porcelain can be made very thin, 3mm, 6mm and 12mm, where sintered stone tends to be 12mm, 20mm and 30mm, and more common for countertops, though some brands have 6mm options. The extra depth along with its physical composition means sintered stone can handle serious force.(https://www.caragreen.com/sintered-stone-or-porcelain-whats-the-difference/)
