How to choose a sintered stone slab

When choosing a sintered stone slab in New Zealand, you need to first think about its intended application, as different thicknesses and finishes are suited for different applications like benchtops, flooring, or wall cladding. It's always best to prioritise a slab with high resistance to heat, scratches, and UV rays, especially if it will be used outdoors or in high-traffic areas. Aesthetics is also key so look closely at the colour, texture, and pattern to ensure it complements your interior or exterior design, keeping in mind that sintered stone offers a variety of natural stone and modern looks. Check for a reputable brand or supplier (like those featured on ArchiPro) and consider the ease of installation and maintenance to ensure the slab meets both aesthetic and practical requirements for your home.

Limestone is another Kiwi favourite, organic in look and incredibly versatile in application for cladding, flooring, walls and more. Last but not least, granite slabs are a very popular choice as one of the hardest and strongest stones available making it a great all-round option.
