Description:

Carrara White Sintered Stone is a meticulously crafted artificial stone using advanced technology, replicating the exquisite characteristics of the original Italian Carrara White Marble. Featuring a white background adorned with soft gray veining and distinctive patterns, this artificial stone closely mimics the aesthetics of natural marble, making it challenging to discern from the original material.

Available in various thicknesses, including 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 10.00mm, 12.00mm, 14.00mm, 16.00mm, 18.00mm, and 20.00mm, this versatile stone provides flexibility for different applications. The matrix of minerals undergoes a sintering process, resulting in a solid and impenetrable mass. The surface of Carrara White Sintered Stone exhibits exceptional resistance to etching, scratching, burning, or staining, offering superior durability compared to quartz.

This artificial stone is well-suited for a wide range of applications, including kitchen and bathroom countertops, commercial tops, ornamental stone, stairs, interior and exterior wall and floor installations, mosaic designs, waterjet patterns, wall panels, table tops, columns, fireplaces, and custom furniture. Carrara White Sintered Stone seamlessly blends the timeless elegance of Carrara White Marble with modern durability, making it an ideal choice for sophisticated and enduring design solutions.

Carrara White Sintered Stone can be used for exterior applications in very windy climates, but it is important to consider a few factors before making a decision. 1. Durability: Sintered stone is known for its durability and resistance to various weather conditions. However, extremely strong winds can potentially cause damage to any material. It is recommended to consult with the manufacturer or supplier of the specific Carrara White Sintered Stone to ensure that it can withstand the wind speeds common in your specific climate. 2. Installation: Proper installation is crucial for exterior applications in windy climates. The material should be installed according to the manufacturers guidelines, including using strong adhesives and appropriate fasteners to secure the stone in place. Improper installation might result in damage or displacement of the stone during strong wind events. 3. Maintenance: Regular maintenance is important to ensure the longevity and performance of the sintered stone. In very windy climates, it is recommended to clean the exterior surfaces regularly to remove any debris or dirt that might accumulate and affect the appearance or performance of the material. 4. Protective measures: In extremely windy areas, it might be advisable to implement additional protective measures, such as installing windbreaks or using other materials alongside the sintered stone to mitigate the impact of strong winds. It is always recommended to consult with professionals, such as architects, contractors, or the manufacturer or supplier of the Carrara White Sintered Stone, for specific guidance and recommendations tailored to your specific location and circumstances.
