Sintered and Porcelain Countertops

 

Porcelain & Sintered Surfaces for Modern Interiors

Incredibly robust, sintered and porcelain products can be used on any surface inside and out. Hot utensils, electrical appliances, pots, and pans can all be placed directly on the surface. Nearly impervious to stains and scratches, cleanup is simple with gentle soap and water. Sintered and porcelain is also highly resistant to ultraviolet (UV) light meaning it won’t fade over time, making it the perfect choice for exterior applications.

The low thermal expansion of sintered and porcelain makes it resistant to shock from extreme temperature changes. Its stability when freezing and thawing makes it the ideal outdoor material for even the most extreme Ontario winters. Sintered and porcelain will last for the entire life of your space and are available in a variety of finishes to perfect your design.

Sintered and Porcelain vs. Quartz

When comparing sintered and porcelain materials against quartz, several factors come into play, including weight. Sintered and porcelain materials are generally lighter and can be produced in thinner slabs, making it a versatile option for various applications. In contrast, quartz tend to be denser and heavier, which can limit its thickness options. Maintenance-wise, sintered and porcelain are often easier to care for, as it is less porous and more resistance to stains, while Quartz may require more attention to keep it looking pristine. Regarding heat resistance, both materials performs well, but sintered and porcelain typically has a higher tolerance to extreme temperatures, making it a preferred choice for kitchen surfaces.
