Sintered Stone Guide

Sintered surfaces are a true marvel of modern engineering, crafted from natural materials that undergo the rigorous process of sintering. This highly technical process replicates the natural forces of compression and heat found in the natural environment, resulting in an end product that is both beautiful and durable.

 

At the heart of sintered stone lies a composition of high-quality inorganic clay, feldspar powder, quartz, and other 100% natural materials. The result is a surface that exudes the same characteristics as natural stone, wood, or a sleek, polished finish. It also boasts a surprisingly light weight, requiring fewer structural elements for support.

 

Here at LAFFi Home, we pride ourselves on our extensive collection of sintered stone furniture. Our range of exquisite pieces includes dining tables, TV stands, and coffee tables, each available in a range of colours, forms, sizes, and textures that are all crafted from natural materials.

Water Resistant

Water Resistant

The surface of sintered stone is void of any porous spaces, which elevates its sanitation and water-resistant capabilities. This feature makes it an excellent option for outdoor furniture, where durability and resistance to the elements are essential. Its non-porous surface also ensures a hygienic environment, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas.

Stains & Scratch Resistant

Stains & Scratch Resistant

Sintered stone is known for its superior scratch resistance due to the unique composition of the material and the finishing process. The non-porous surface prevents moisture and particles from being trapped, while the hard and durable nature of the stone makes it highly resistant to scratches, even with regular use. It is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, from kitchen countertops to outdoor furniture, where durability and resistance are key considerations.

Heat & UV Light Resistant

Heat & UV Light Resistant

Sintered stone is also highly resistant to heat and UV light, making it an excellent choice for outdoor applications. Its composition and manufacturing process make it able to withstand extreme temperatures without warping or cracking. Additionally, its resistance to UV light ensures that the stone will not fade or discolor over time when exposed to sunlight, making it a durable and long-lasting option for outdoor furniture and surfaces.

Sintered stone is incredibly easy to clean thanks to its non-absorbent surface. It won't absorb residue from food or spills, ensuring good hygiene in your home. Additionally, the material is highly resistant to most cleaning chemicals, although a simple damp cloth is usually all that's needed for routine cleaning.
