Fire resistance and high temperature resistance: with A1 grade fire resistance, sintered stone will not deform in direct contact with high-temperature objects. It will not produce any physical changes (shrinkage, rupture, discoloration) or emit any gas or smell when encountering an open fire of 2000 ℃.
Safety and health: it can be in direct contact with food. It is made of pure natural material. It is 100% recyclable, non-toxic and radiation-free. At the same time, it also fully meets the needs of human sustainable development, health and environmental protection.
Low water absorption: there is no gap on the surface of the sintered stone. With the water absorption less than 0.05%, water is not easy to penetrate. It can keep the dry surface all the time and is not easy to be polluted.
Scratch resistance: its Mohs hardness is grade 6-7, which can resist scratching and trying to scratch. (The higher the Mohs hardness, the less likely it is to leave scratches on the surface. The hardness of marble is between 2.5-5 and that of quartz is between 5-6.)
Corrosion and stain resistance: resistant to various chemicals, including solutions, disinfectants, etc. At the same time, made from a material that repels water, oil and other liquids, staining can be easily prevented by quickly wiping up any spills with a damp cloth.

While home sintered stone has all the above advantages,it’s necessary to note that it also has one negative factor -
Potential safety hazards: because the sintered stone has toughness, its deep-processing products are too brittle, fragile, easy to produce cutting cracks, leading to potential safety hazards.
Wall and floor paving: The texture of sintered stone is more unique, and large size has better effect in reducing cracks and ductility. With one piece to the top, two pieces connected, the texture is visually seamless, and the overall space is simple and extraordinary.
