Smartstone has officially launched its Sintered Collection, a new porcelain range that redefines surface aesthetics, performance and capabilities, continuing Smartstone’s 21 years of industry innovation.
Created through an advanced ‘sintering’ process, the Sintered Collection elevates the qualities of traditional porcelain to an entirely new level by delivering superior durability, advanced manufacturing capabilities and enhanced natural-stone aesthetics for both interiors and exteriors.
Porcelain, reimagined.
To produce Smartstone’s innovative porcelain, the ‘sintering’ process 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.
Being a porcelain product, the Sintered Collection is excluded from the definition of ‘engineered stone’ under WorkSafe guidelines, making it fully compliant with Commonwealth government legislation. Unlike engineered stone, Smartstone porcelain is a 100% natural material, which contains no metal compounds or resins as binders.
As a leading supplier of stone surfaces in Australia, Smartstone offers a curated range of 24 stone-inspired surfaces tailored to Australian tastes with European flavour and housed in 3 pricing categories from Pure, the most affordable range, to Classic and Deluxe. Pricing is determined by the complexity of each stone’s manufacture; every surface is of equal, premium quality.
Exceptional performance. Indoors and out.
With its next-level durability, the Sintered Collection extends the renowned Smartstone beauty to both indoor and outdoor applications. With 100% UV stability and zero porosity, the versatile Sintered Collection can be used for endless applications for Australian interiors and the great outdoors. The added resilience of UV stability, and fire- and weather-proof properties make the Sintered Collection at home in any setting under the Australian sun.
From benchtops and bathroom vanities to fireplaces and furniture, sintered surfaces are tested by NATA-certified TestSafe Australia as highly resistant to stains, heat, chemicals, chips, scratches, mould, mildew, and bacteria.
While the Sintered Collection represents an exciting product evolution, the range maintains the many trusted qualities and values for which Smartstone has been renowned since 2002.
The new range continues the Smartstone affordability to make the luxury of living with stone surfaces a more accessible and viable option with a rectified jumbo slab size of 3200mm x 1600mm x 20mm.
The Sintered Collection can be viewed on the new Smartstone website.
