What is sintered stone and why go for this material for your home?
Only the finest materials can produce the most beautiful creations. Sintered stone is an innovative building material that stands out for its advantages in terms of strength, durability, design and sustainability. It is highly versatile and functional and is used for kitchen worktops, cladding, facades and furniture.
What is the sintered stone?
A sintered stone is a material composed of natural products such as stone dust, minerals or pigments. The sintering process emulates the creation of natural igneous rocks, where minerals melt and solidify at high temperatures.
At Neolith we are inspired by this organic process and we produce our models by applying extreme heat and pressure, honouring nature in their finishes and also in their manufacture. The result is an ultra-compacted surface that conquers with its beauty and its great performance.
Sintered stone for the home
The sintered stone can be used in virtually all household construction: from kitchen and bathroom worktops and interior flooring and cladding to sinks, shower trays, washbasins and even exclusive furnishings. It can also be used outdoors, such as in outdoor kitchens, terraces and swimming pools, as well as on facades.
It is available in different thicknesses and finishes suitable for each application, and the variety of its models allows for the design of contemporary, welcoming and highly functional spaces.
01. Sintered stone countertops
Sintered stone kitchen countertops have many advantages over other construction materials. We can highlight their resistance to stains and bacterias, due to the fact that they are not very porous, which makes them easier to clean.
In addition, Neolith also produces kitchens sinks, washbasins and bathroom countertops with sintered surfaces, providing added value if you are looking for avant-garde design in your home. The unique characteristics of this material make it perfect for use in these applications, given that they are unalterable to external agents, have hardly any porosity and are extremely hard, making them very easy to maintain.
02. Sintered stone claddings
Sintered stone claddings have many advantages over other materials. They guarantee colour consistency and high resistance and durability over time. They can be applied even in very light thicknesses of 3 mm and can also be laid on top of other tiling, thus lightening the process of building work in the home.
On the floor, it can be applied in various formats, from the largest ones with the advantage of minimising visible joints, to smaller ones such as 60 x 120 cm or 60 x 60 cm.
In addition, its technical qualities allow it to be incorporated into both outdoor and indoor terraces, thus generating continuity between the two spaces.
03. Sintered stone pools and terraces
The sintered stone is particularly suitable for the construction of floors for swimming pools and outdoor terraces.
Its near-zero porosity helps prevent the growth of mould and bacterias. In addition, the material's strength, thickness and high resistance give it a competitive advantage over other types of flooring.
If you want to decorate your terrace with style and sophistication, Neolith sintered surfaces offer a variety of exclusive designs.
04. Sintered stone furniture
Sintered stone furniture is taking the interior design world by storm with its performance and disruptive aesthetics. The focus is on office furniture such as desks and shelving with minimalist and sophisticated lines.
Benches and terrace seats can also be made, thus completing the continuity in the design of these outdoor spaces. It is also a good option for fireplaces due to its resistance to fire and temperatures.
05. Sintered stone facades
The sintered stone has ideal technical qualities for facades, as it withstands temperature changes, is waterproof, and highly resistant to abrasion, fire, ultraviolet rays and chemicals. It is suitable for application on different types of façades such as ventilated façades, bonded façades, and offers inspiring answers for all architectural styles.
At Neolith, sustainability is our main objective. All our collections are produced with 100% natural raw materials, which, in turn, are recyclable, thus closing the circle.
Furthermore, in our production process, we are always committed to the reduction of emissions, waste and water consumption, as well as the preservation of natural resources, working every day to build the architecture of tomorrow.
