Find answers to commonly asked customer questions about this countertop material
Q: What are sintered stone countertops made of?
A: Sintered stone countertops are made from a combination of natural minerals, including quartz, feldspar, silica, and natural oxides, that are subjected to high pressure and temperature. This process creates a highly durable, non-porous surface.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Do sintered stone countertops require sealing?
A: No, sintered stone countertops do not require sealing. They are non-porous and highly resistant to stains, spills, and bacteria, making them easy to maintain.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How do sintered stone countertops compare to quartz countertops?
A: Sintered stone is similar to quartz in being non-porous and low-maintenance. However, sintered stone is often more heat-resistant and scratch-resistant than quartz. Both offer a wide range of colors and patterns, with sintered stone typically mimicking natural stone more closely.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Can sintered stone countertops withstand heat?
A: Yes, sintered stone countertops are highly heat-resistant and can withstand high temperatures from hot pots and pans without damage. However, using trivets or hot pads is always a good practice to ensure longevity.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: What should I do if my sintered stone countertop chips or cracks?
A: Sintered stone is very durable but can chip or crack under severe impact. Small chips can often be repaired with epoxy or resin. For larger damages, it is best to contact a professional for repair or replacement.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Are sintered stone countertops scratch-resistant?
A: Yes, sintered stone is extremely scratch-resistant due to its hardness. However, using cutting boards is still recommended to protect your knives and maintain the countertop's pristine surface.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How should I clean and maintain sintered stone countertops?
A: Clean sintered stone countertops with mild dish soap and warm water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they are unnecessary and can damage the surface over time.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Can sintered stone countertops be used outdoors?
A: Yes, sintered stone countertops are suitable for outdoor use. They are UV-resistant and can withstand various weather conditions without fading or degrading, making them ideal for outdoor kitchens and barbecues.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How do sintered stone countertops compare to granite countertops?
A: Sintered stone is more uniform in color and pattern compared to the natural variations of granite. It is also more resistant to heat, scratches, and stains, and does not require sealing. Granite offers a unique natural appearance but requires more maintenance.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Are sintered stone countertops environmentally friendly?
A: Sintered stone countertops are considered environmentally friendly as they are made from natural materials and the manufacturing process uses less energy and produces fewer emissions compared to other countertop materials. Additionally, they are often recyclable.
