Sintered Collection

Page 1

Smartstone’s Sintered Collection redefines stone surface aesthetics and performance, for interiors and the great outdoors.

Q What is the Sintered Collection?

A The Sintered Collection is Smartstone’s new surface range that elevates the qualities of traditional porcelain to an entirely new level by delivering superior durability, advanced manufacturing capabilities and enhanced natural-stone aesthetics.

The Smartstone Sintered Collection is created using a ‘sintering’ process which replicates millions of years of the earth’s metamorphic processes by combining advanced technology with natural fusion techniques. Intense heat and immense pressure (30,000 tons) bind natural minerals to create an ultra-compact, extra-durable material that delivers exceptional performance, during both the fabrication and installation stages.

body veining

With the Sintered Collection, the sophistication of natural stone recreations meets the durability of porcelain. Precise print technology extends beneath the surface to colour-match the body of the slabs.

Veined surfaces feature through-body veining bringing next level authenticity to edge profiles and applications such as undermount sinks.

The finer details

Your choice of edge profile is a detail that will enhance the beauty of your stone benchtop, as well as the durability and performance of the surface. Discuss recommended edge profiles with your designer or fabricator.

Veined stones adapt beautifully to modern and traditional interior design and architectural styles. Follow these tips to help choose the best surface to realise your design vision.

What’s your vision?

Visualise how the surface veining will work with your colour palette and all the other design elements and materials. Consider your overall application to optimise the direction and pattern of the veins.

Choose your features

Consider book matching, a design feature in which veins are matched from slab to slab for a seamless aesthetic. Book matching is available on five surfaces in the Sintered Collection in both left and right versions.

Striking the balance

A rule of thumb when using a surface with stronger veins is to subdue other design elements and allow it to dominate the space. Here, the bold, book matched benchtop becomes the centrepiece while complementing the plain Smartstone chosen for the fireplace.

All slabs feature through-body veining and colour.

The Sintered Collection difference

The Sintered Collection offers a comprehensive benchtop solution, combining technology, quality, value, guaranteed supply, aesthetic precision, performance and compliance. The Smartstone Sintered Collection is excluded from the definition of ‘engineered stone’ under WorkSafe guidelines, making it fully compliant with Commonwealth government legislation.

Unlike engineered stone, the Smartstone Sintered Collection is a 100% natural material which contains no metal compounds or resins as binders.

With 100% UV stability and zero porosity*, the versatile Sintered Collection can be used for endless applications in Australian interiors and the great outdoors.
