Quartz FAQs

What is sintered stone?

Sintered stone is a high-performance engineered surface made from natural minerals that are compressed and baked at extremely high temperatures. The result is a durable, non-porous, and heat-resistant material ideal for worktops, cladding, and interior surfaces.

How is sintered stone different from quartz or granite?

Unlike quartz (engineered stone) or granite (natural stone), sintered stone is manufactured using advanced heat and pressure technology. This gives it superior resistance to heat, scratches, UV rays, and staining, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Are sintered stone worktops durable?

Yes. Sintered stone is highly durable, extremely scratch-resistant, and impact-resistant. It is one of the toughest engineered surfaces available.

Is sintered stone heat-resistant?

Absolutely. Sintered stone can withstand very high temperatures, making it safe to place hot pans and pots directly on the surface without damage.

Is sintered stone stain-resistant?

Yes. Sintered stone is non-porous and highly resistant to staining from common kitchen substances such as coffee, wine, oil, and acidic liquids.

How do I clean and maintain sintered stone?

Cleaning is simple—use warm water and a mild detergent or a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads to preserve the surface’s finish.

Can sintered stone be used outdoors?

Yes. Unlike some natural or engineered stones, sintered stone is UV-resistant and weatherproof, making it ideal for outdoor kitchens, patios, and facades.

Is sintered stone hygienic?

Yes. Its non-porous surface prevents bacteria, mould, and mildew growth, making it highly hygienic for kitchens and bathrooms.

What thicknesses are available?

Sintered stone typically comes in 6mm, 12mm, and 20mm slabs, depending on the manufacturer and intended use, offering flexibility for countertops, wall cladding, and furniture surfaces.

Can sintered stone scratch or chip?


Sintered stone is extremely scratch-resistant, but like any surface, heavy impacts on edges or corners can cause minor chips. If you chip your worktop, we can repair it as part of our free remedial service.
