What Makes Sintered Stone Different?
Sintered stone is created by compressing natural minerals under extreme heat and pressure, replicating the natural process that forms stone over time. This high-tech material results in a dense, ultra-compact surface that is:
-
Non-porous
-
Scratch-resistant
-
Heat-resistant
-
UV-resistant
For a dining table, this means you get a surface that can handle almost anything life throws at it, without the need for sealing or special care.
Is It Waterproof?
Yes—sintered stone is effectively waterproof. Its non-porous nature means water, juice, oil, or even wine can’t seep into the surface. Spills simply sit on top until you wipe them away—no staining, no warping, and no residue.
This makes it a perfect option for families, entertainers, or anyone who wants peace of mind at the dining table. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or helping your kids with homework over snacks, your table stays protected.
Why a Waterproof Dining Table Matters
Waterproof doesn’t just mean it can handle the occasional spill. It means:
-
Low-maintenance cleaning – A damp cloth is all you need.
-
Longer-lasting beauty – No discoloration, swelling, or bubbling over time.
-
Better hygiene – Fewer places for bacteria to hide.
-
Peace of mind – No need to stress over daily wear.
If your dining area is a high-traffic zone, a sintered stone table can save you time and stress while still looking sophisticated.

Real Questions, Real Answers
Can sintered stone stain?
Not easily. Because it’s non-porous, most spills—including wine and oil—can be wiped off with no permanent staining.
Is it heat-resistant?
Yes. You can place hot dishes or pans directly on the surface without damage.
Does it chip?
Sintered stone is extremely durable. While no material is 100% chip-proof, it performs better than marble, ceramic, or even granite under daily use.
