What is Sintered Stone?
The concept of sintered stone originated in Spain and developed widely in furniture and home decoration industry in the recent years. As a stone-based material, sintered stone is different from Quartz and ceramics. It is made from natural quartz or stone powder and formed into a solid slab after fusing and compressing in extremely high temperature and pressure. There are various levels of thickness of the sintered stone: 6mm; 9mm; 11mm; 12mm; 15mm; 20mm.
Sintered stone is used widely in furniture, especially kitchen and dining tabletop, because it is easy to clean, eco-friendly, scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, corrosion-resistant. Since the pattern of the tabletop can be customized, people tend to opt for it for their beloved home. Moreover, it is affordable even though the manufacturing process is strict and difficult.
What is Marble?
Marble is made of calcite, also called calcium carbonate, (CaCO₃ in chemical formula). Natural Marble is a rock resulting from metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks, most commonly limestone or dolomite rock. The natural marble is unique and easy to manufacture as it is softer than faux marble. Its color and pattern are autologous and they cannot be customized. However, compared with the manufactured stone, some marble stone exists naturally fissure.
The natural marble contains radioactivity as other building materials, while the amount depends on the type and it is very low. If you worry about the harm of the radiation, keep your house ventilating.
