What is the Sintered Collection?
The Sintered Collection is Smartstone’s new surface range that elevates the qualities of traditional porcelain to an entirely new level by delivering superior durability, advanced manufacturing capabilities and enhanced natural-stone aesthetics.
The Smartstone Sintered Collection is created using a ‘sintering’ process which replicates millions of years of the earth’s metamorphic processes by combining advanced technology with natural fusion techniques.
Intense heat and immense pressure (30,000 tons) bind natural minerals to create an ultra-compact, extra-durable material that delivers exceptional performance, during both the fabrication and installation stages.
The Smartstone Sintered Collection difference
The Sintered Collection offers a comprehensive benchtop solution, combining technology, quality, value, guaranteed supply, aesthetic precision, performance and compliance.
The Smartstone Sintered Collection is excluded from the definition of ‘engineered stone’ under WorkSafe guidelines, making it fully compliant with Commonwealth government legislation.
Unlike engineered stone, Smartstone sintered stone surface is 100% natural material which contains no metal compounds or resins as binders.
With 100% UV stability and zero porosity, the versatile Sintered Collection can be used for endless applications for Australian interiors and the great outdoors.
