아직 한국어 콘텐츠가 없어 English(으)로 표시합니다.

If you're looking for ideas to give your home a luxurious, layered look that reflects real taste, sintered stone tiles deliver the feel of genuine natural stone — with none of the worries about seams or grime building up in the grout lines. That's what you get with large-format Sintered Stone slabs from BIG SLAB: a new generation of tile that brings beauty and durability together in a single material.

What are sintered stone tiles?

Sintered stone tiles are produced on Italian machinery under 44,000 tons of pressure, giving them a dense, strong, scratch-resistant body that suits both interior and exterior use. With patterns that look every bit like natural stone and colors that stay true for years, Sintered Stone is a choice that delivers on both beauty and long-term durability.

Key properties of Sintered Stone tiles

Wipes clean easily and stands up to chemicals
Strong and scratch-resistant
Non-combustible and heat-resistant — releases no harmful substances even at high temperatures
A densely compacted body with an extremely low water absorption rate
UV-resistant — colors won't fade in sunlight or any weather conditions
Emits no hazardous chemicals, so it's safe for direct food contact

Which surfaces are Sintered Stone tiles suited to?

Sintered Stone tiles are made from white natural stone minerals compressed under far higher pressure than ordinary tile production, which makes them exceptionally strong, scratch-resistant, and tolerant of high heat — a great fit for a wide range of spaces, such as:

Choosing the right Sintered Stone thickness for each installation

3 mm thick (7.5 kg/m2) | Cabinet Panels
6 mm thick (15 kg/m2) | Walls
9 mm thick (23 kg/m2) | Floors/Walls
12 mm thick (30 kg/m2) | Countertops / Walls / Floors
20 mm thick (50 kg/m2) | Countertops (full-body)

How Sintered Stone compares to other materials

Surface material	Pros	Cons
Natural stone	Naturally beautiful — no two slabs alike	Hard to maintain
Stone Veneer	Inexpensive, can bend around curves	Not durable, patterns look artificial, walls only
Engineered marble	Inexpensive	Hard to maintain
Acrylic (Solid Surface)	Seamless	Not scratch-resistant, yellows easily
Crystal White Nano	Available up to 1.8/2.0 cm thick	Not scratch-resistant, polished finish only
Quartz	Very strong, scratch-resistant	Patterns look less realistic (a production limitation — digital printing can't be used)
Ceramic tile	Inexpensive, realistic stone patterns	Maximum size 90×180 cm — can't be used as a countertop
Sintered Stone	Combines nearly every advantage	Maximum thickness 12 mm (20 mm available in select patterns only)
