SINTERED
Lapitec and Dekton materials are both sintered stones and are produced using 100% natural minerals that can be found in granite and porcelain. These materials unite the aesthetic design appeal and the superior mechanical and physical properties of porcelain with the elegance, workability, colours and typical finishes of natural stone. The high-tech sintering process represents an accelerated version of the metamorphic change that natural stone undergoes when subjected to high temperatures and pressure over thousands of years. The sintering process involves tightly compacting the mineral and then heating to 1200°c and just before a liquid is formed the minerals are fused together.
