Discuss the difference between sintered stone and ceramic tile

Material: Sintered stone is made of natural raw materials through special processes, with the help of a press of more than 10,000 tons, and then fired at a high temperature of more than 1200℃. It is a large-scale new type of porcelain material that can withstand cutting, drilling, grinding and other processing processes. Ceramic tile is made of refractory metal oxides and semi-metal oxides through grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing and sintering

Strength and wear resistance: Sintered stone is stronger and more wear-resistant than ceramic tile, because sintered stone is pressed by a press of more than 10,000 tons, and has higher density and hardness. Although ceramic tile is also pressed by a press, the pressure is not that great. In comparison, the hardness and wear resistance of sintered stone are higher.

Appearance and design: The overall size of sintered stone will be larger than that of ceramic tile, so it will be more aesthetically pleasing in the overall design and look more high-end. Ceramic tile is printed or glazed, the texture and color are relatively uniform, and lack of design sense.

Installation and maintenance: Sintered stone is relatively large in size and requires several people to cooperate in installation, so the labor cost will be relatively high. Both are relatively simple to maintain on a daily basis, and only need to be cleaned with clean water.

Application scenarios: Sintered stone is usually used in high-end places, such as luxury buildings, villas and other high-end places, which fully demonstrates the beauty of sintered stone. Ceramic tiles are more suitable for the decoration of family homes and commercial plazas. Due to their diverse color and pattern options, they can meet the needs of different scenes.

Price: The process of sintered stone is more complicated than that of ceramic tiles, so the price will be relatively higher. ‌

In summary, rock slabs and ceramic tiles each have their own characteristics and advantages. Which product to choose needs to be determined according to specific decoration needs and scenarios.
