How To Distinguish Good And Bad Sintered Stone Slab?

I recently researched sintered stone slab and found a lot of them, but I can’t tell the good and bad of them. Could you guys help me analyze whether the following one is a large ceramic slab?

First Stone Expert Answers: Size, Background, Bendable

The several models you sent are all real sintered stone slabs.

At present, there are only 900×1800 large ceramic tiles that can be used to replace sintered stone slabs.

Because no matter how large the specifications are, it is not worth the loss to use large ceramic tiles instead of sintered stone slabs. Because the production formula and thickness of sintered stone slabs and ceramic tiles are different, the following are the obvious characteristics of real sintered stone slabs:

1. The bottom of the sintered stone slab is mostly fine grid patterns (ceramic tiles are mostly tire patterns)

2. The sintered stone slab embryo is mostly porcelain white (except for a part of 15-20mm thickness that is gray and black throughout, which is mostly used to make desktops)

3. The toughness of the sintered stone slab is relatively good. Take a 3200x1200x9mm sintered stone slab as an example. Two people hold one end of it. The middle will be elastic, not brittle, and easy to break. (Large ceramic tiles will not deform)

Second Stone Expert Answers: Equipment, Size, Surface

First, you can look at the manufacturer’s production equipment. This is the hardware condition. Good equipment combined with good raw materials can produce good sintered stone slabs.

Secondly, look at the size. sintered stone slabs are mainly large-sized. You can also look at the surface pattern. Good sintered stone slabs have a tight surface texture, strong penetration resistance, and bright colors.

Finally, you can do some scraping tests. Good sintered stone slabs have super high hardness and are not afraid of knife edges.

Third Stone Expert Answers: Machine, Hardness

Sintered stone slabs are pressed by presses with a capacity of more than 10,000 tons, so they are denser and harder. Even if you scratch them with a hard object like a knife, it will not leave a mark. When buying, you can scratch them with a hard object to see the effect after the merchant agrees.

Fourth Stone Expert Answers： Texture, Brand

The color and texture of a good sintered stone slab look more natural, and it feels rough but not rough, with a rock texture. If you have cut the sample, you can also look at the side of the sample. A good slab is the same from top to bottom, and the embryo is dense and uniform. My family uses a big brand, in addition to good quality, also has a guaranteed after-sales service.

Fifth Stone Expert Answers:

I have also been looking at sintered stone slabs during this period.

This is the experience I have summarized, which can be used as a reference. I have seen various strategies on the Internet to distinguish the authenticity of sintered stone slabs. If I have to say which one is more reliable, I think there are two points:

1. Smell it with your nose. The raw materials of sintered stone slabs are natural, and they are fired at a high temperature of more than 1200℃, so there will be no pungent odor. When choosing, you can get closer to smell the smell. If there is no pungent odor or the smell of chemical agents, it is real. On the contrary, it is a fake.

2. Burn it with fire. You should all know that sintered stone slabs are resistant to high temperatures. In other words, they are not afraid of open flames. When choosing, use a lighter to burn the surface of the slab for a few minutes to see if there will be discoloration, cracking, odor, etc. If nothing happens, it is real. On the contrary, it is fake.

To be honest, as a layman, it is very difficult to distinguish the good from the bad with the naked eye unless the workmanship is extremely poor, otherwise, it will only become more and more messy the more you look at it. My family uses big brands, As we all know, large manufacturers have a complete system of materials, technical processes, and services. Every project has undergone various tests and verifications, so you can rest assured about the quality.
