Ultracompact & Sintered Surfaces
Ultracompact surfaces—including porcelain slab products and materials like Dekton—are made by compressing mineral-based materials under extreme heat and pressure. Unlike quartz, these surfaces contain no resins or binders; the minerals are fused together through the manufacturing process, resulting in a dense, non-porous material.
These surfaces are highly resistant to heat, staining, UV exposure, and scratching, which makes them well suited for applications like fireplace surrounds, outdoor kitchens, and other environments where heat and sunlight are a concern.
There are trade-offs. Ultracompact and sintered materials are very hard but can be brittle. Sharp impacts—such as dropping a heavy cast-iron pan—can cause chips, and repairs are often visible. Another consideration is appearance: the pattern visible on the surface does not always carry through the body of the slab, so cut edges can look different than the face.
Because of these characteristics, we treat ultracompact surfaces as a specialized option. They perform extremely well in certain applications, but they’re not always the best choice for every kitchen or homeowner. We help clients understand where these materials shine—and where other surfaces may make more sense.
