If you've been dining-table shopping in Melbourne recently, you've probably noticed sintered stone popping up everywhere. It's quickly becoming the go-to alternative to marble for homeowners in Melbourne, Dandenong and Hoppers Crossing who want the luxury look without the upkeep.
What is sintered stone?
Sintered stone is an engineered material made by compressing natural minerals under extreme heat and pressure, producing a dense, ceramic-look surface. It falls under the broader category of engineered stone, which also includes materials like quartz and porcelain. The result is a tabletop that resists scratches, heat and staining far better than natural marble.
Sintered stone vs marble vs ceramic
Marble is beautiful but porous, meaning it can stain from wine, oil or acidic foods and needs regular sealing. Sintered stone gives you that same premium, veined or solid-colour look while standing up to daily family life. It's also more consistent in colour and pattern than natural stone, since it's manufactured rather than quarried.
Choosing your base finish
Our sintered stone dining tables come with stainless steel bases in silver, gold and rose gold, so you can match your existing dining chairs, pendant lighting or hardware. A black sintered stone top with a gold base makes a bold, contemporary statement, while a white sintered stone top with a silver base suits a lighter, Scandinavian-inspired room.
