Frequently Asked Questions
Forget the hassle of sealants and yearly upkeep! This material is built using intense heat and pressure, mimicking the natural formation of rock but perfecting the process to create an ultra-compact surface. Because of this unique engineering, the stone is completely nonporous. Liquids, stains, and even strong chemicals cannot penetrate the surface. It is inherently resistant to moisture and etching, giving you a beautiful, maintenance-free space from day one. Enjoy genuine peace of mind with a surface that never needs an extra protective layer.
Yes, you can place hot pots directly on sintered stone surfaces. Sintered stone is engineered to tolerate extreme heat exposure far beyond typical kitchen conditions, often withstanding temperatures up to 1200°F+. This level of heat resistance makes it safer and more reliable for handling cookware, baking trays, or cast-iron items straight from the cooktop or oven, without burning, melting, or causing scorch marks. Its fire-resistant structure results from a manufacturing process that compresses mineral powders at high pressure and fires them at extreme kiln temperatures.
No, sintered stone and quartz are not the same, even though they share some similarities. Both materials are durable, nonporous, and easy to maintain since they don’t require sealing. However, they differ in what they’re made of and how they perform. Sintered stone is created entirely from natural minerals that are fused together under intense heat and pressure. Because no resins are used, it can handle extreme temperatures and prolonged sun exposure without damage. This makes it ideal for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Quartz, on the other hand, is an engineered surface made from natural quartz crystals combined with polymer resins. While it’s incredibly strong and beautiful, those resins can break down under high heat or constant sunlight. That’s why quartz isn’t recommended for outdoor kitchens or placing hot cookware directly on the surface. If you need a material that can handle heat, UV rays, and the elements, sintered stone has the edge. It’s built to perform in environments where quartz may start to show its limits.
