Engineered For Everything
SINTERRA redefines surface design through advanced engineering, exceptional durability, and limitless versatility. Sintered stone worktops are created to perform beyond expectations, bringing innovation to every space.
What is
Sintered Stone?
Sintered stone is a next-generation surface material produced by compressing and firing natural minerals under extreme heat and pressure. This advanced manufacturing process creates a surface that is exceptionally strong, non-porous, and highly resistant to scratches, stains, heat, and UV exposure.

The
advantage
UV-ray
resistant
Sintered stone is highly resistant to UV rays, making it an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. Unlike some materials that can fade or discolour over time, its surface maintains its original colour and appearance even after prolonged sun exposure. This ensures lasting beauty in outdoor kitchens, patios, and sunlit interiors. Its UV stability helps preserve the stone’s premium finish for years to come.

Fire Resistant
Manufactured using advanced sintering technology, sintered stone is highly resistant to heat and fire. It can tolerate high temperatures without warping, cracking, or sustaining damage, making it well-suited for kitchen environments. Hot cookware can be placed on the surface with confidence, although the use of trivets is always recommended for best practice. Its fire-resistant properties provide added peace of mind while maintaining its structural integrity and appearance.

SINTERRA GUIDE
Everything you need to know
Sintered stone is a next-generation surface that combines natural beauty with exceptional performance.
01.
Is sintered stone the same as porcelain?
Is sintered stone the same as porcelain?
They’re closely related, and the two terms are often used interchangeably. Both are made by sintering natural minerals under extreme heat and pressure, porcelain is essentially one form of sintered surface. In practice they perform the same way: ultra-dense, non-porous, and highly resistant to heat, scratches and UV, indoors or out. So whether it’s described as a porcelain worktop or a sintered stone worktop, you’re getting the same hard-wearing, low-maintenance surface.
02.
What’s the difference between sintered stone and engineered stone?
What’s the difference between sintered stone and engineered stone?
The difference comes down to what’s inside and how it’s made. Quartz worktops are crushed quartz bound together with resin, whereas sintered stone is made purely from natural minerals fused under heat and pressure, with no resin. That’s why sintered stone handles heat far better and why it’s UV-stable enough for outdoor kitchens, where quartz is best kept indoors. Both are non-porous, stain-resistant and never need sealing, so the choice usually comes down to where and how you’ll use the surface.

Is sintered stone covered by a warranty?
Is sintered stone covered by a warranty?
Yes. Every sintered stone surface we supply and install is backed by our lifetime warranty on material performance for residential use, alongside a 5-year workmanship guarantee covering our templating, fabrication and fitting. Lasting confidence in both the surface and the installation.
