What is Sintered Stone?
Sintered Stone is a 100% natural material based on granite minerals, glass minerals and natural oxides:
- Granite Materials: Giving hardness and strength to the surface
- Glass minerals: Which ensures chemical stability
- Natural oxides: Which deliver chromatic properties
How is Sintered Stone produced?
Neolith is produced using the very latest in sintering technology, replicating the thousands of years' process by which natural stone is formed in a matter of hours.
The raw materials which form the slab are first subjected to extremely high pressure, going through a pressing machine where a weight of 400 bars is applied. In the second phase of the process, the slab goes through a kiln where temperatures reach more than 1200° C (2200° F).
This process of ultra-compaction creates full-body surfaces with unique technical features.

Tried, tested and trusted, Neolith's combination of realism, high performance and versatile formats make it a go-to material for architects, designers, specifiers and fabricators.
Applications
Neolith is the optimum surfacing material for both indoor and outdoor applications. From a skyscraper façade to a kitchen countertop, Neolith's physical and mechanical characteristics deliver ultimate performance, unmatched beauty and long-term value.
