Sintered Stone Benchtop Benefits

Sintered stone benchtops offer a rare combination of style, strength, and low maintenance. They’re made by heating and pressing natural minerals at extremely high temperatures, creating a dense, non-porous surface that’s perfect for high-use areas. This makes sintered stone an ideal choice for kitchens and commercial counters where spills, heat, and wear are common.


Unlike natural stone or most mineral products, sintered stone is UV resistant and can even be used outdoors without fading or degrading. It’s also extremely hygienic, as the non-porous surface doesn’t absorb liquids or bacteria, making it a smart choice for food preparation areas. For anyone who wants a style-forward look with everyday practicality, sintered stone offers the best of both worlds.

Choosing Sintered Stone for Your Space

With a wide variety of finishes, colours, and thicknesses available, sintered stone gives you complete flexibility. You can achieve the look of marble, concrete, or natural stone without the maintenance those materials often require. It also allows for ultra-slim benchtop profiles, which are perfect for minimalist and contemporary interiors.


When selecting sintered stone, it’s important to consider the setting—it is ideal for kitchen benchtops, splashbacks, vanities. It’s a versatile, modern solution that suits both new builds and renovations. If durability, cleanliness, and refined looks are high on your list, sintered stone is the way to go!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is sintered stone a good material for kitchen benchtops?

    Yes, sintered stone is a fantastic choice for kitchen benchtops. It’s highly resistant to heat, scratches, and stains, making it ideal for food prep areas. It’s also non-porous, easy to clean, and doesn’t absorb moisture or bacteria—great for hygiene. Plus, it’s UV stable, so it works well in outdoor kitchens too.

  • What’s the difference between sintered stone and mineral?

    Sintered stone is a man-made material created by compacting and fusing natural minerals under heat and pressure, mimicking natural stone. “Mineral,” however, refers to naturally occurring substances like quartz or feldspar, which are the raw components of many surfaces. So, sintered stone is engineered using minerals, while minerals themselves are the basic building blocks found in nature.

  • Does sintered stone scratch or chip easily?

    Sintered stone is highly scratch resistant, even more so than many natural stones. It holds up well to daily use, but thin edges can chip if struck hard. Using rounded edges helps reduce this risk, especially in busy kitchens or commercial areas.
