Description:

Bianco Extra Sintered Stone is an artificial stone meticulously crafted using cutting-edge technology to perfectly emulate the refined beauty of the original natural Calacatta Marble. This engineered stone showcases elegant light gray veins and distinctive features on a pristine white background, closely resembling the luxurious appearance of natural Italian Calacatta Carrara Marble. Manufactured in various thicknesses, including 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 10.00mm, 12.00mm, 14.00mm, 16.00mm, 18.00mm, and 20.00mm, the material undergoes a process where a matrix of minerals is heated (or sintered) to form a solid, impenetrable mass.

The surface of Bianco Extra Sintered Stone exhibits outstanding durability, rendering it impervious to etching, scratching, burning, or staining. Its performance surpasses that of quartz in every measurable aspect. This versatile material finds application in kitchen and bathroom countertops, commercial tops, ornamental stone, stairs, interior and exterior wall and floor applications, mosaic, waterjet patterns, wall panels, table tops, columns, fireplaces, and custom furniture.
