Sintered Stone and Sustainability

A synthetic surfacing material, typically made from a mix of clays, feldspar, and natural mineral oxides, sintered stone can be found everywhere from residential kitchens and bathrooms to floors, walling, and swimming pools.

In this session of CPD Live on Demand, we shine a light on this increasingly popular surface material. Beginning by considering its method of manufacture and outlining its many benefits, our speaker will go on to explain why it can be considered genuinely sustainable and why it represents a sound choice for your next project.

By the end of this session, you should be able to:

• Outline the manufacturing process of sintered stone and the suitability of the product for both interior and exterior applications
• Identify the characteristics and beneficial properties of sintered stone
• Differentiate sintered stone from other solid surfaces, in terms of both design possibilities and technical characteristics
• Outline the ways sintered stone contributes to green and sustainable building design
