Description:

Bianco Calacatta Sintered Stone is an artificial stone meticulously crafted with high-tech machines to serve as a flawless replica of the original Calacatta white marble. This exceptional material closely mimics the appearance of natural Italian marble, making it nearly impossible to distinguish in the areas where it is applied. Available in various thicknesses, including 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 10.00mm, 12.00mm, 14.00mm, 16.00mm, 18.00mm, and 20.00mm, Bianco Calacatta Sintered Stone is created through a sintering process. This involves heating a matrix of minerals to form a solid, impenetrable mass. The unique manufacturing technique ensures that the surface of Bianco Calacatta Sintered Stone remains impervious to etching, scratching, burning, or staining. The remarkable resemblance to natural Calacatta marble enhances the aesthetic appeal of this sintered stone in various design applications. Whether used for countertops, flooring, wall cladding, or other architectural elements, Bianco Calacatta Sintered Stone offers an elegant and sophisticated appearance. Importantly, it outperforms quartz in durability in every measurable way. Its resistance against wear and damage makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a combination of timeless aesthetics and enduring performance in their design projects.

Can Bianco Calacatta Sintered Stone be used exterior applications in very rainy climates?
Bianco Calacatta Sintered Stone is a highly durable material that is suitable for exterior applications. However, its performance in very rainy climates can be affected by factors such as frequent exposure to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and freeze-thaw cycles. It is important to note that while the stone is resistant to water absorption, it may still be susceptible to staining or weathering over time if not properly maintained. It is recommended to consult with professionals or manufacturers to assess the specific requirements and suitability of Bianco Calacatta Sintered Stone in highly rainy climates.
