Quartz has long been a favorite for kitchen and bathroom surfaces — but sintered stone is quickly becoming the preferred choice.
Here’s a deeper look at why sintered stone is outperforming quartz in design, durability, and sustainability:
-
✅ Higher Hardness – Sintered stone boasts a Mohs hardness of 6–7, making it more resistant to scratches and abrasions. Unlike quartz, it can withstand direct contact with knives and heavy kitchen tools without leaving marks.
-
✅ Zero Radiation & VOCs – Made from 100% natural minerals, sintered stone contains no resins, volatile organic compounds, or radiation. This makes it safer for food contact and ideal for eco-conscious homes.
-
✅ Consistent Coloration – Unlike quartz, which may show batch-to-batch variation, sintered stone ensures color and vein consistency across multiple slabs — perfect for seamless large-area installations.
-
✅ Lighter & Thinner Options – With ultra-thin slabs available in 6mm or 9mm thickness, sintered stone is easier to transport, install, and apply to vertical surfaces or furniture cladding.
-
✅ Eco-Friendly by Design – Its production process involves low-emission kilns and recyclable inputs. Sintered stone is a truly sustainable material with a low carbon footprint.
-
✅ Unlimited Design Potential – Choose from matte or gloss, cement or wood textures, minimalist solid tones or dramatic marbling — including continuous bookmatched effects not available with quartz.
💡 Bonus Advantage: Unlike quartz, sintered stone is UV-resistant and weatherproof. It performs beautifully in outdoor kitchens, terraces, façades, or near windows without fading or yellowing.
