With its refined beauty, Olimpo brings a touch of excellence to an ambience. A novelty in Naturamia® for select spaces.
Its cream, almost white colour is speckled with brown, reddish and beige streaks. As with the rest of the stones in the collection, The great resilience of Olimpo countertops is complemented by an extraordinary aesthetic finish that fits like a glove in contemporary decors. Brown-leather chesterfield sofas, dark-wood tables –mahogany, walnut, chestnut, sapele, furniture made of aluminium tube… they are the best accompaniment for the Olimpo model, which draws our attention not only as a kitchen or bathroom countertop but also as vertical cladding, lining the front of a fireplace, for example. A product with an exclusive design, ravishing and inalterable for life.

Blanco Perla

Blanco Perla is an ageless material for the domestic spaces of the present and the future thanks to its timeless beauty, free of any aesthetic guidelines.
This classic is a triumph in contemporary decors and in interior designs that opt for a balanced mixture of styles and trends. Its facet as a material for bathroom and kitchen countertops reinvents itself with fresh and highly suggestive decorative ideas where everything from dark-wood furniture to dazzling white has its place. But Blanco Perla is much more. Its fascinating tonal composition based on whites, greys and creams goes well on horizontal walls and surfaces, giving them a certain retro air. Furthermore, the neutrality of its colour palette makes it an excellent ally of more intense colours, waving goodbye to spatial monotony.

Advantages

Its timeless elegance, its outstanding hardness and resistance to abrasion make this a perfect material for outdoor and indoor use. With granite, authenticity and functionality are synonymous with innovative beauty.

Finishes

Granite is one of the most resilient natural stones and so its surface permits an endless number of finishes.

Polished

This is the most characteristic finish, achieving an inimitable effect that reflects light and objects like a mirror.

Honed

This finish gives the stone greater character and prominence when laid. It reflects the light, but with lower reflection. The surface is smooth

Aged

A special treatment gives it a texture that enhances the natural properties of the stone and the aesthetic force of its seams. The surface is somewhat irregular.

Bush Hammered

Thanks to this finish, the resulting product has a rough effect and a rugged touch, perfect for making this product more resilient in exteriors.

Shot-blasted

A surface treatment that transforms the surface of this stone into something rougher and more gravelly. Highly recommended for exteriors

Flamed

This finish enhances the natural seams of the stone, giving it a surface roughness.

Satin

This surface is smooth to the touch, with a certain velvety appearance.

Terrazzo adds warmth, playfulness, and a bit of nostalgia to your home for an interior with personality and prestige. It is a durable, contemporary material that is also very vibrant and fun. Terrazzo is a high-quality material that is durable and easy to maintain. It is a material that will last for decades, if not a lifetime.

It can be used for forming a floor, creating a feature wall, or for interior worksurfaces like bathroom vanities and kitchen countertops.

Choose the Terrazzo design that suits you

It is available in an infinite variety of shapes and colours. Each time, the added pigments and the size and shape of the marble granules result in a unique look. Our Brachot Terrazzo collection offers 11 different variations of subtle, small speckles to busy, pronounced patterns. The range includes both slab and tile designs, each with a smooth finish. The slabs are 305 by 125 cm and range from 2 to 3 cm in thickness. Standard tiles are available in honed finish 40 x 40 cm, 60 x 40 cm, and 60 x 60 cm thicknesses (2 cm).

Carrara Pure

Large-size slabs in marble-effect porcelain stoneware.

A white background with thin, light gray veining. One of the most popular solutions for international architecture and design. The dominant white colour ensures the Carrara Pure slabs by Atlas Plan pair well with any colourway, but it is also perfect for an all-white space. Balancing beauty and function, this marble-effect ceramic material supports the creativity of architects and designers in any situation.

Spaces that cater to multiple needs

The slabs come in a 162x324 cm size with a thickness of 12 mm and are available in a silk finish.

Ideal for furnishing any space in domestic or commercial settings. Indeed, Carrara Pure is suitable for covering kitchen islands and worktops, bathroom vanity units and household tables; but also bar and restaurant counters.

Ordinary cleaning

For the ordinary cleaning of Atlas Plan slabs, it is advisable to remove the dust with a dry and clean cloth. Afterwards, we recommend using the product FILABRIO. We suggest using the doses recommended by the manufacturer and a microfiber cloth. In any case, to avoid extraordinary cleaning, it is advisable to immediately remove any stain before it dries.

Extraordinary cleaning

In the case of dirt that is resistant to ordinary cleaning, it is recommended to use a detergent specific to the type of dirt. Prompt action remains an important factor for the success of the cleaning operation. It is suggested to perform a preliminary test on a small stained portion, verifying the effectiveness of the detergent before using it on the whole surface. Never use concentrated hydrochloric acid and/or caustic soda or detergents that contain hydrofluoric acid and/or its derivatives.

Application

The good result of the cleaning process is strictly related not only to the accurate choice of the product type but to its correct application as well. Thus, Atlas Plan always recommends to view the technical data sheet of the product chosen for cleaning.

Guide: Choosing The Right Worktop For Your New Kitchen

Quality, durable materials are required for kitchen counters, which function as high-work areas. Choosing the right match for your kitchen can quickly turn into a challenge and even a nightmare, especially if you are trying to find a kitchen worktop that suits all your needs and preferences. That's why we're here to help with our guide to choosing the right worktop for your new kitchen.

[lwptoc depth="2" numeration="decimalnested" title="Table of contents:" width="full" titleFontSize="2.0em"] Whether you’re remodelling your kitchen or building a new one from scratch, you’ll want to make sure you choose the right type of countertop. Some are more durable than others, and some are better suited to certain tasks than others. With the help of this guide, you can choose the best countertop for your needs and enjoy a new kitchen for years to come. [ux_image id="19017" depth="2"] [gap height="32px"] There are numerous textures and finishes to choose from when picking a worktop, and these come with a variety of advantages. The advantages, however, depend on the kind of worktop purchased. When choosing a worktop, several factors must be weighed. Consideration must also be given to the worktop's maintenance. Laminate, granite, wood and quartz worktops are among the most common types. Costs will differ based on type and design, of course.

Pros & Cons of Worktop Materials

When you're choosing a new worktop for your kitchen, you will doubtless want it to stand up to daily use. We take a look at the most popular types of kitchen worktop and list the pros and cons to help you understand the key differences and similarities between them:

Granite Pros & Cons

[divider] [ux_slider bg_color="rgb(216, 216, 216)" margin="27px" freescroll="true" hide_nav="true" bullet_style="dashes-spaced" auto_slide="false"] [ux_image id="19024"] [ux_image id="19023"] [ux_image id="19025" lightbox="true" caption="true" lightbox_caption="true" image_overlay="rgba(2, 2, 2, 0.494)" image_hover="overlay-add" image_hover_alt="zoom"] [/ux_slider] Granite worktops are the most durable and desirable when it comes to natural materials. Granite countertops are rough in texture but smooth to the touch thanks to modern finishing techniques and come in a variety of colours and earthy tones. Granite worktops are a popular choice. [section bg_overlay="rgba(198, 180, 86, 0.058)" margin="29px"]

Granite Pros

  • Unique, Natural Beauty Granite is a beautiful natural stone that creates an unbeatable impression and adds real appeal to your kitchen. Every piece is truly one-of-a-kind and with proper care, could last a lifetime.
  • Heat Resistant Granite naturally has higher heat-resistance than other natural stone so it will withstand wear and tear of daily use. Even so, you should place a trivet (worktop saver) on top to place hot pans on.
  • Durable and scratch-resistant Granite is one of the toughest materials on earth. It is more than capable of withstanding the rigours of daily kitchen use. It will blunt your knives if you cut on it, though!

Granite Cons

  • Requires regular maintenance Granite requires a degree of maintenance to keep it looking good and protected from liquid ingress in the kitchen. Granite tops generally need to be resealed every 6 to 8 months.
[/section]

Silestone Pros & Cons

[divider] [ux_image id="19034" caption="true" depth="2"] [gap height="32px"] Due to their composition of >90% natural quartz, Silestone worktops are both durable and beautiful. They make excellent worktops for kitchens and bathroom surfaces with a minimum of joints. With lots of different colours to choose from, Silestone will fit into any modern interior environment. [section bg_overlay="rgba(198, 180, 86, 0.058)" margin="39px"]

Silestone Pros

  • Durable Silestone contains at least 90% natural quartz, one of the hardest materials around. Its strength makes it less prone to chipping and cracking.
  • Scratch-resistant Silestone is a very hard material, being comprised as it is of such a high quartz content. Quartz is harder than most materials in use in the kitchen, so knives won't scratch it, nor will pans or plates sliding across it.
  • Silestone is non-porous. It doesn't absorb water and so won't suffer easily from staining or dulling from spills.
  • Low maintenance Unlike granite, Silestone does not need to be sealed to keep its shine.

Silestone Cons

  • Not UV resistant Silestone is for internal projects only as it is not UV resistant
  • Cost Pricier than some rivals
[/section]

Dekton Pros & Cons

[divider] [ux_image id="19040" caption="true" depth="2"] [gap] Dekton is a large format, ultra-compact solid surface by Cosentino. Dekton employs exclusive Sinterized Particle Technology, a high-tech process which represents an accelerated version of the metamorphic change that natural stone undergoes when subjected to high temperatures and pressure over thousands of years. [section bg_overlay="rgba(198, 180, 86, 0.058)" margin="30px"]

Dekton Pros

  • UV Resistant Dekton worktops can be used outside as well as indoors thanks to its UV-resistant composition.
  • Durable Dekton is a very durable material that is resistant to heat, scratches and stains, making it ideal for use in the kitchen or bathroom.
  • Versatile Comes in a variety of thicknesses from 8mm to 12mm, 20mm and now even 30mm. This means it can be used for worktops, flooring, cladding and even making cupboard doors and side tables.

Dekton Cons

  • Cost It is more expensive than other options due to the unique way it is manufactured and the properties it possesses.
  • Has to be installed professionally Dekton is not DIY friendly. It must be professionally installed to carry a warranty (although the warranty is a generous 25yrs).
[/section]

Quartz Pros & Cons

[divider] [ux_image id="19044" caption="true" depth="2"] [gap] Another equally popular worktop material is quartz. Maintenance of quartz worktops is easy and the material too is strain resistant. Both granite and quartz are favourited by individuals looking for worktops in kitchens. The only problem is these are costly in comparison to other types. [section bg_overlay="rgba(198, 180, 86, 0.058)" margin="30px"]

Quartz Pros

  • Stain-resistant A quartz worktop will be resistant to stains from common spills in the kitchen which makes it a great choice in a busy home.
  • Non-porous A quartz worktop is highly water-resistant so won't absorb liquids, unlike natural stone can.
  • Durable Quartz is a very strong material so ideal for use in a kitchen setting.

Quartz Cons

  • Indoor Only Since quartz is not UV-resistant (apart from one notable exception, namely Diresco Quartz), you can only use it for internal worktop or cladding projects.
[/section]

Porcelain Pros & Cons

[divider] [ux_image id="19048" caption="true" depth="2"] [gap] Porcelain worktops are high-quality surfaces created from a mixture of raw materials to produce a bacteria-resistant, scratch-resistant, and heat-resistant product. Because of its non-porous, simple-to-clean surface, it creates a hygienic kitchen countertop. Porcelain countertops offer several benefits over traditional natural stone and engineered materials such as quartz kitchen worktops for use as kitchen worktops. Recyclable, easy to clean, hygienic, heat-resistant, low maintenance, UV resistant. [section bg_overlay="rgba(198, 180, 86, 0.058)" margin="30px"]

Porcelain Pros

  • UV resistant Can be used outside and indoors, won't fade after exposure to the elements.
  • Heat Resistant Because porcelain doesn't have any resin in it, like quartz and to a lesser degree granite, it won't discolour or degrade if it comes into contact with heat.
  • Versatile Can be used as a worktop but also on floors, walls and outside as countertops and paving. Porcelain is probably the most versatile stone for home improvement, especially if you're looking for a seamless look throughout the house.
  • Durable Porcelain is very strong and won't chip or shatter easily, making it ideal for heavy use, high traffic areas in the home.
  • Environmentally Friendly Since porcelain (like Dekton and Neolith too!) doesn't use any harmful chemicals in its manufacturing and consists of a high rate of recycled materials, it is a sustainable product that is friendly to the environment.

Porcelain Cons

  • Expensive Porcelain is more expensive than some materials in this list.
  • Limited range There are more limitations on the colours that you can get as there are fewer manufacturers in the market right now.
[/section]

Neolith Pros & Cons

[divider] [ux_image id="19052" caption="true" depth="2"] [gap] Neolith makes countertops that are scratch-resistant, heat-resistant, chemical- and UV-resistant, as well as stain-resistant. Its porosity is nearly 0%, which means it absorbs almost nothing. It is also resistant to thermal shocks, both hot and cold, thanks to its resin-free mix of recycled and natural materials.

[section bg_overlay="rgba(198, 180, 86, 0.058)" margin="30px"]

Neolith Pros

  • Low maintenance Neolith worktops don't need sealing as it is a non-porous stone, so all that's required is cleaning to keep it looking great.
  • Heat-resistant Because it has no resin content, Neolith is much more resistant to heat than quartz.
  • Scratch and stain-resistant It is a very durable product and has a high hardness, meaning it won't scratch or stain easily.
  • UV-resistant Neolith is safe to use outside as it has no resin that can be broken down or degraded by the sun's rays.

Neolith Cons

  • Limited selection Since Neolith is made by a single manufacturer, it is limited to a set number of ranges that might not meet everyone's needs.
  • Needs professional installation Not an easy product to fabricate and needs to be installed by professional stonemasons, so no DIY.
  • Expensive It's pricier than some other options.
[/section]

Marble Pros & Cons

[divider] [ux_image id="19056" caption="true" depth="2"] [gap] Marble has been used for centuries as a surface construction material because of its durability and beauty. It is a natural stone that is one of the hardest wearing materials available, although comparatively soft when compared with granite. There is no location in a residential or commercial building where natural marble slabs cannot improve the atmosphere. Not only does it look fantastic, it is also durable, making it suitable for floors, walls, and (with care) marble worktops. [section bg_overlay="rgba(198, 180, 86, 0.058)" margin="30px"]

Marble Pros

  • It's beautiful! Marble is beautiful. There is no other natural stone that can match the look of marble in any setting. If you're looking for a high end product with a stunning finish, marble is the ultimate.
  • It's durable Marble won't damage easily and can withstand a lot of use, which is why it's favoured in flooring, walling and architectural features in many buildings.
  • It's workable Marble is a softer stone than granite or quartz, so it is easier to work than more common stones when it comes to fabricating or installing. DIY is possible if you know what you are doing.

Marble Cons

  • It's porous Marble is, in comparison to other stones, very porous. It requires sealing to avoid staining.
  • It's comparatively soft It's a softer stone than granite or quartz so will damage more easily.
  • High maintenance Marble worktops are higher maintenance than other types of stone and require regular sealing and some refinishing to keep them looking their best.
  • It's hard to find Marble is becoming increasingly hard to find as it is a natural resource that has been over-mined throughout history.
  • It's expensive Marble is very expensive in comparison to other stones partly because it is so scarce but also because it is a high-end, high-ticket product.
[/section]

Laminate Pros & Cons

[divider] [ux_image id="19059" caption="true" depth="2"] [gap] If you want something cheap and cheerful, you can't go wrong with a laminate worktop, but if you're looking to make a statement and create a luxurious feel with a real wow factor, laminate worktops are not the best option. Laminate worktops are popular for their good looks and reasonable pricing. Unfortunately, laminate worktops in kitchens tend to wear out after a few years and are not so resistant to scratches.

[section bg_overlay="rgba(198, 180, 86, 0.058)" margin="30px"]

Laminate pros

  • Cheap
  • Easy to get hold of
  • Looks reasonable
  • Easy to DIY install

Laminate Cons

  • Basic look
  • Won't last as long as other options
  • Easily damaged
  • Limited colour range
[/section]

Wood Pros & Cons

[divider] [ux_image id="19061" caption="true" depth="2"] [gap] Wooden kitchen worktops are usually constructed from hardwood such as oak and can come in various types. You can buy an artisan wood worktop that has been custom-cut from a single piece of wood along each length, or you can buy cheaper ones that are made up of lots of batons glued together. Whilst wood can look great it doesn't come without its share of problems, chiefly from water ingress and scratch damage. Wood tops can be treated with oil to prolong their life but are fairly high maintenance as they need to be re-sanded and re-oiled fairly regularly.

[section bg_overlay="rgba(198, 180, 86, 0.058)" margin="30px"]

Wood Pros

  • Looks good in almost all settings
  • Unique appearance
  • Can be DIY installed

Wood Cons

  • High maintenance
  • Damages easily
  • Not very heat or scratch-resistant
  • Susceptible to bacteria
[/section]

Stainless Steel Pros & Cons

[divider] [ux_image id="19064" caption="true" depth="2"] [gap] Because of its durability, low maintenance, and hygienic nature, stainless steel is a popular choice for commercial kitchens. The stainless steel look is not everyone's cup of tea but it has seen somewhat of a revival in recent years, especially in loft-style apartments, where it combines well with other industrial textures to form a modern look.

[section bg_overlay="rgba(198, 180, 86, 0.058)" margin="30px"]

Stainless Steel Pros

  • It's hygienic This is the big reason so many commercial kitchens use it. Due to the highly regulated area of public food preparation, they need something that's extremely hygienic.
  • Low maintenance It's very quick and easy to clean, doesn't need any special treatment such as sealing like other products.
  • Heat-resistant Steel won't get damaged by hot pans being placed directly onto it. Another big plus for commercial kitchens.

Stainless Steel Cons

  • Denting Steel tops, doors etc. all dent very easily so it's not an ideal material if you want a long-lasting, pristine look.
  • Commercial-looking The industrial texture is off-putting for many. Considered a very cold, harsh material.
  • Expensive Steel prices are pretty high so expect to pay a premium for stainless steel worktops.
[/section]

Glass Pros & Cons

[divider] [ux_image id="19065" caption="true" depth="2"] [gap] Perhaps the biggest draw of glass worktops is that they create an illusion of space with their light-reflective surface and are available in a variety of colours. Perfectly suited to a one-person home but not so hot if you've got a busy kitchen as they don't take wear and tear as well as other materials.

[section bg_overlay="rgba(198, 180, 86, 0.058)" margin="30px"]

Glass Pros

  • Easy to clean
  • Non Porous
  • Heat-resistant

Glass Cons

  • Smears and marks are difficult to get rid of
  • Scratches and chips fairly easily
  • Delicate
[/section]

Epoxy Resin Pros & Cons

[divider] Homeowners can finish an installation or rejuvenate their existing kitchen or bathroom surfaces with higher quality finish by using epoxy countertops. You can transform the look of a wood or laminate worktop by applying the product directly to it and coating it. You can make a space usable without having to replace or refinish the entire section by using this option. DIY application is very risky as prone to costly errors that are time-consuming to put right. [section bg_overlay="rgba(198, 180, 86, 0.058)" margin="30px"]

Epoxy Pros

  • Cheap way to enhance an old kitchen
  • Apply any colour you like
  • DIY or pro install
  • Medium maintenance

Epoxy Cons

  • Toxic fumes during application
  • Difficult to apply without error or mess
  • Air bubbles create weakness
  • Not UV resistant
  • Prone to chipping and scratching
  • Yellows over time
[/section]

Additional Considerations

Now that you've seen the pros and cons of the various types of worktop on the market, you should have a better idea of which one will suit your needs best. In order to further assist you with your choice, we'll outline below some additional considerations. [section bg_color="#c6b456" bg_overlay="rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.762)" padding="55px" margin="30px" divider_top="waves-opacity-3" divider_top_height="82px" divider_top_flip="true" divider="waves-opacity-3" divider_height="95px"]

What is the budget for worktops?

Setting your budget is critical to getting the best worktops for your needs at a realistic price. If you're on a tighter budget, you have narrower options. The ideal way to do this is to think about what you want in terms of material, style, and performance (stain-proof, heatproof, waterproof) and keep filtering until you have a choice of 3 or 4 worktops in your price range to make your final choice. Our estimators can help you with this if you're thinking about opting for stone worktops. If you live in a family home with younger kids and lots of friends around to play, the chances of dealing with spills are a lot higher than if you live alone with your cats, so be careful as some materials will damage more easily when spills happen, especially if they're not mopped up straight away.

What size area do you need to cover?

Most worktops have a maximum length and width. Some materials will allow for very long and very wide installation, others are restricted to narrow and shorter options. If you want your worktop to be in one piece, without any visible joins, choices like laminate or stainless steel may not be the best options If you want the joins to be hidden where two surfaces meet (at a corner, for example), you're better off with a different product.

Do you need/want to get matching tiles?

Some worktops such as Dekton and Porcelain worktops come with matching tiles for walls and floors, so if you're planning a design that warrants colour matching then think about these materials.

DIY or Pro installation?

You may be able to fit your worktop yourself, depending on your proficiency level and the kind of material used. However, be sure to research and plan thoroughly before you begin. If you're opting for stone worktops, for example, the DIY route will almost certainly end in disaster. Stone is a highly specialised material and takes a very high level of skill and knowledge to work properly, plus it weighs an absolute ton! Installers recommended!

Are you combining indoors and outside in the design?

It's very popular these days to combine interior and exterior spaces, design-wise. Some worktops are for internal use only whereas others are UV resistant and will work outside as well as indoors. So, if you're looking for a material that will allow you to continue your design outside to match the interior decor, you'll need to look at specific materials. [/section]

Conclusion

[divider] After weighing up the pros and cons of the various worktop materials, you should be a lot more able to decide on which one is the right kitchen worktop for you. There is no ‘best’ option; it all comes down to what you need from your worktop, and what you are willing to compromise on. Go with the option that best suits your needs and situation, and you will not be disappointed with your kitchen worktops. Naturally, we'd recommend a stone worktop because that's what we make. We also firmly believe after years of experience with a lot of different materials, particularly today, that a stone worktop represents the best investment for your home. Natural Stone worktops such as granite have proven over the years to be longer-lasting, more desirable and better performing than many of their alternative and often cheaper counterparts. Quartz worktops from brands such as Silestone, Caesarstone, Unistone, Silkstone and Technistone amongst others have been able to combine the beauty of natural stones such as marble, with the durability of quartz to provide a whole category of cost-effective, largely maintenance-free and reliable options. In recent years with the development of sintered stone materials like Dekton and Neolith, alongside the development of porcelain countertops from brands such as Atlas Plan, it is now possible to have a luxurious stone theme throughout the whole house, with tiles, paving and even cabinet doors or furniture to match your worktop theme. Whilst other materials may be cheaper, there isn't anything that comes close to matching the beauty, durability and versatility of stone, in our view. [divider]

One more thing...

Plan ahead for the installation. Planning is key to getting it right. Especially if you have a tight schedule and a small window in which to fit the kitchen worktops installation into. If you’re hiring a worktop installer, make sure you give them enough time to schedule the job but be certain of the date and make sure everything is prepped and ready when they arrive, to avoid disruption later. Your kitchen cabinets should all be positioned, levelled and ready to take the weight of whatever material you've specified. Installers don't want to turn up to an unprepared site and you'll get the best results if you line everything up first. Discuss with your installer what they need to be able to work most efficiently and keep costs down for you. If you're doing it yourself, take a similar line. You don't want installation-ready worktops kicking around for too long before or arriving too long after everything has been set up ready to take them. [title text="Enjoyed this article?

12 Sintered Stone Slabs for Stunning Architectural Design

[section bg_color="#c6b456" bg_overlay="rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.756)" margin="15px" divider="waves-opacity-3" divider_height="117px" divider_width="154"]

Sintered stone slabs can make a real impact in architectural design. Not just because they look great, there are real-world practical benefits to using them throughout an interior or exterior design scheme.

In this article, we'll show you 12 sintered stone slabs that can be used to great effect in architectural design. But first, let's explore what architectural design means.

[/section]

What is architectural design?

Architectural design is the process of creating a plan or blueprint for a structure. This can include everything from the layout of a building to the smallest details such as the placement of windows and doors. The goal of architectural design is to create a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

There are many features to consider when it comes to architectural design. Some of the most important include:

  • Functionality: The design must be functional and meet the needs of those who will be using the space.
  • Aesthetics: The design should be aesthetically pleasing, harmonious, and balanced.
  • Durability: The materials used in the construction must be durable and able to withstand the elements.
  • Sustainability: The design should be sustainable, using materials and methods that are environmentally friendly and will not deplete resources.

Some benefits of architectural design include the ability to improve the function of a space, the ability to create a more aesthetically pleasing environment, and the ability to increase the value of a property. Additionally, well-designed buildings can be more energy efficient and can help to reduce the negative environmental impact of a development.

How Can Sintered Stone Help in Architectural Design?

When you consider the above criteria of functionality, aesthetics, durability and sustainability, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better material than sintered stone in the application of floor coverings, wall covering, countertops or building facades.

Let's explore the benefits:

Sintered stone is a type of engineered stone that is made by combining natural stone powder and resins under high pressure and heat. This process results in a product that is harder and more durable than natural stone, with a similar appearance.

Sintered stone has many benefits for architectural design, including improved functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability.

Functionality:

It is more resistant to staining and scratching than natural stone, making it ideal for high-traffic areas or areas where food will be prepared. It is also non-porous, meaning it will not absorb spills or harbour bacteria. It can be used externally as well as internally, making it a very versatile addition to the architectural design process.

Aesthetics:

Sintered stone comes in a wide range of colours and patterns, making it easy to find an option that fits the style of your project. The smooth surface is also easier to clean than natural stone, keeping your project looking its best.

Durability:

Sintered stone is extremely durable and can withstand heavy use without showing signs of wear. This makes it an excellent choice for projects that require a long-lasting material.

Sustainability:

Sintered stone is a sustainable choice for architectural design. It is made from recycled materials, and the manufacturing process is low-impact. Sintered stone can also be recycled at the end of its lifespan, making it a truly sustainable option.

12 Sintered Stone Surfaces for Advancing Architectural Design

If you're interested in using sintered stone in your design work, but aren't sure where to begin, check out the following 12 examples of stunning sintered stone surfaces.

Whether you want to create an architectural feature in your home or business, or simply want to improve the appearance of your bathroom, these are a great choice.

Eternal Noir

Eternal

Eternal Noir

Eternal Noir is the result of a sensitive design inspired by the asymmetric patterning and elegance of the Natural Stone. Rich and dark, evoking the look and feel of natural stone with fascinating inclusions, like marble and granite, exude the feeling of timelessness and luxury. Eternal Noir is the result of this sensitivity towards natural materials. Eternal Noir creates a modern look in any interior by combining clean lines with streaked white veins on a dramatic black background. It’s the ideal backdrop for neutral-coloured furniture, and it will give a striking contrast to any colourful accents. Its straight lines and sober design inspire dark but warm spaces, featuring rich veins on a dark background, glowing like embers with their own light. It will look stunning in a contemporary setting, or it will work equally well in a vintage, modern or heritage setting. It is a versatile material that can be used in a wide range of applications - from flooring to countertops and it can be mixed with other materials to create an infinite variety of possibilities.

Black Atlantis

Black Atlantis Porcelain

Black Atlantis is a black marble-effect porcelain countertop and matching tile for cladding surfaces and walls. The product's surfaces are emphasised by white and gold veins crossing over a clean and compact black background colour. The marble effect makes the product look indistinguishable from a real surface, giving it visual and aesthetic depth.
  • Look: Marble-effect
  • Name: Black Atlantis
  • Slab: 162x324 cm (Not rectified)
  • Also available on request: Tile: 120x278 cm (Rectified) Tile: 120x240 cm (Rectified)
This is an ideal material for a kitchen or bathroom with high humidity, thanks to its resistance to staining and discolouration. It is also heat resistant, which makes it suitable for cooking on an induction hob or a glass-top stove. Another advantage of this material is its low coefficient of friction, which makes it safer in places with loose objects or children. Black Atlantis is easy to maintain and clean, as it is resistant to most household chemicals. It is also non-reactive, which means it won’t interact with food and drinks in the same way as some other materials. Black Atlantis requires professional installation, but its high durability makes it a worthwhile investment. Black Atlantis porcelain stoneware slabs are suitable for covering surfaces and walls in domestic and commercial settings.

Black Atlantis Slab/Tile Sizes
