Sintered stone is manufactured using technological advancements that simulate the processes which forms natural stone. For the consistency of colour, texture and quality, minerals and stone particles are carefully selected and then subject to extreme heat and pressure. This sintering process enables particles to bond permanently, with no resin and bonding agents.
