Products & Customization
What is sintered stone, and how is it different from tile, natural stone, or quartz?
Sintered stone is a compact, engineered surface made from natural minerals under extreme pressure and heat, resulting in high density and durability.
-
Unlike tiles, which are thinner, have size limitations, and require grout lines, sintered stone offers larger slab formats, a broader thickness range (3–20mm), and a seamless, non-porous surface that is easier to maintain.
-
Compared to natural stone, it is stain-resistant, UV-stable, and doesn’t require sealing, while still delivering the elegance of natural patterns.
-
Unlike quartz, sintered stone offers superior heat resistance and greater versatility for both indoor and outdoor applications.
What raw materials are used, and how do they ensure quality?
We use premium raw materials like quartz, feldspar, kaolin, and inorganic clay, sourced from trusted suppliers (e.g., Spanish kaolin). Our inks are imported from Spain’s Torrecid, applied with 10-channel SACMI inkjet printers for vibrant, uniform designs. All materials undergo strict testing (e.g., XRF analysis) to meet international standards like ISO and 3C certifications.
What is the water absorption rate of BIGCC’s sintered stone?
Our sintered stone achieves ≤0.05% water absorption rate, far surpassing the industry standard of ≤0.5%.
Can you provide customized sintered stone products?
Yes, we offer full customization, including size, color, thickness, surface treatment, cutting & processing, pattern design, logo & branding and heat bending. For more details, please visit our Custom Solution page.
