Ever Heard Of Sintered Stone?

When it comes to surfaces, most of us are familiar with natural stone, engineered quartz, wood, and stainless steel. Your company carries Gardenia sintered stone slabs, a material which is still relatively new to homeowners. Could you tell us what it is and where it's from?

Sintered surfaces employ a unique blend of quartz, porcelain, and glass using advanced technology that mimics the natural formation process of natural stone, which would normally take place over thousands of years. These components are then bonded under extreme heat and pressure, with no polymer or resin required. The result is an all-natural combination that brings out the distinctive beauty of natural stone - be it marble, stone, or cement-without any fragility and drawbacks. Gardenia is designed and made in Italy.

Why did your company choose to bring in sintered stone? What makes it unique?
