By 2017, in fact, it should have been a little earlier, sintered stone slabs entered the market. I am very interested in this new thing. I also did a lot of research work, but at that time, there were only imported brand slates on the market, represented by Techsize and Laminam. The price was always high, almost 5,000/meter, and the strength persuaded many people.

Some industry giants predict that sintered stone slabs are the future trend. In the pursuit of quality home decoration, good quartz stones still have a place. With the improvement of cost performance, sintered stone slabs will gradually lower their body and become the mainstream choice. As for why, let's start with the principles and characteristics of sintered stone slabs.

1.Sintered stone vs Ceramic tile

The SINTERED STONE slab and the ceramic tile are actually a family, and they are both "sintered" products. The difference is that the sintered stone slab has undergone a high pressure of more than 10,000 tons to simulate and restore the production process of the marble, and it is a whole body. The ceramic tiles have not undergone such a high-strength pressing, and they have an embryonic base, which is not whole after glazing. Although there are many opinions on the Internet, I think this is the fundamental difference between sintered stone slabs and ceramic tiles. This is why small factories can't make rock slabs because there is no such big press.

2.Sintered stone vs Marble

Everyone knows that marble is good, but the delicate and fragile characteristics of marble, the high price, and the cumbersome maintenance make it hard to become the first choice for kitchen countertops. The sintered stone slab has the shape of marble and the characteristics of the whole body, and it is not so squeamish. This gives us the opportunity to no longer just covet the marble countertops of foreign kitchens.

In the past few years, sintered stone slabs were very expensive, even more expensive than marble, which is famous for being expensive. In recent years, as domestic ceramic tile companies have joined the battlefield, they have launched a variety of slate products, and the prices have been pulled to a relatively reasonable level. The price of entry-level slabs is almost the same as that of mid-to-high-end brand quartz stones.
