Sahara Black Sintered Stone - Black Sintered Stone

Sahara Black Sintered Stone is a meticulously engineered material designed to replicate the striking aesthetics of the original and highly sought-after black marble found in Tunisia. Crafted as an elegant artificial stone, Sahara Black closely imitates the deep black canvas with golden yellow and white veins characteristic of the natural marble. The manufacturing process involves producing the material in various thicknesses: 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 10.00mm, 12.00mm, 14.00mm, 16.00mm, 18.00mm, and 20.00mm. This process includes heating (or sintering) a matrix of minerals to create a solid, impenetrable mass.

Sahara Black Sintered Stone boasts a surface that is impervious to etching, scratching, burning, or staining, providing superior durability compared to quartz in every measurable aspect. Its applications are diverse, making it suitable for use in kitchens and bathrooms for countertops, commercial tops, ornamental stone, stairs, interior and exterior wall and floor applications, mosaics, waterjet patterns, wall panels, table tops, columns, fireplaces, and custom furniture. With its exquisite appearance and enhanced performance, Sahara Black Sintered Stone is an ideal choice for those seeking the allure of natural black marble with added durability and versatility.
