Description:

Bianco Gioia Sintered Stone is an artificial stone crafted with advanced technology machines, precisely replicating the original Italian Bianco Gioia Marble. It features a white background with soft gray veining and distinctive patterns, closely resembling the natural marble. Available in various thicknesses, including 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 10.00mm, 12.00mm, 14.00mm, 16.00mm, 18.00mm, and 20.00mm, it is a matrix of minerals heated (or sintered) to create a solid, impenetrable mass. The surface exhibits exceptional durability, resisting etching, scratching, burning, or staining. Suitable for a wide range of applications, including 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.
