Why Sintered Stone Dining Tables Are the Ultimate Choice for Modern Homes
At Artico Interiors, we believe that true luxury is more than just aesthetics—it’s about intelligent design that stands the test of time. That’s why we’re proud to offer dining tables crafted from sintered stone—a revolutionary material that combines elegance, strength, and practicality in one breathtaking surface.
If you're considering investing in a dining table that elevates both your interior and lifestyle, here’s why sintered stone is the perfect choice.
What Is Sintered Stone?
Sintered stone is a high-performance surface material made by subjecting natural minerals—like quartz, feldspar, and clay—to extreme heat and pressure. This process mimics the way natural stone is formed over thousands of years, but condenses it into just a few hours.
The result is a beautifully engineered stone that is:
-
Non-porous
-
Scratch-resistant
-
Heat- and stain-proof
-
UV-resistant
It delivers the sophisticated look of marble or granite, but with far greater durability and functionality.
Why Choose a Sintered Stone Dining Table?
1. Exceptional Durability for Everyday Life
From family dinners to festive celebrations, your dining table sees it all. Sintered stone is resistant to scratches, chips, and high impact, making it ideal for households with children, pets, or frequent guests.
2. Stain & Heat Resistance
Spilled wine, hot dishes, or coffee cups won't leave a mark. Unlike natural marble or wood, sintered stone won’t absorb stains or suffer damage from high temperatures—no need for coasters or panic cleaning.
3. Low Maintenance & Easy to Clean
A quick wipe with a damp cloth is all it takes to keep the surface pristine. No sealing, polishing, or special cleaning products required—just effortless elegance, day after day.
4. Indoor & Outdoor Flexibility
Thanks to its UV resistance, sintered stone won’t fade even in direct sunlight. That makes it perfect not only for indoor dining spaces but also for covered patios and garden areas.
5. Artful Aesthetics
At Artico Interiors, we offer a curated range of sintered stone finishes—from soft, marble-inspired veining to bold, modern tones. Whether your space is minimalist or expressive, our tables become centrepieces of sculptural beauty.
A Statement of Style, Built to Last
A dining table isn’t just a piece of furniture—it’s the heart of your home. It’s where stories are shared, meals are savoured, and memories are made. With a sintered stone dining table from Artico Interiors, you’re choosing a piece that:
-
Stands up to real life
-
Requires minimal care
-
Brings timeless design and material innovation into your home

Sintered Stone vs Ceramic: Why We Made the Switch
At Artico Interiors, we’re driven by craftsmanship and innovation. While ceramic served us well in the early days, our pursuit of durability, beauty, and premium experience led us to embrace sintered stone—a revolutionary material that outperforms ceramic in every meaningful way.
🔬 Material Science: What They’re Made Of
| Property | Ceramic | Sintered Stone |
|---|---|---|
| Composition | Clay-based, baked at high heat | Mineral-rich powders fused with heat & pressure (1200°C+) |
| Manufacturing Process | Traditional kiln firing | Advanced sintering: heat + pressure + particle bonding |
| Surface Finish | Usually glazed or matte | Natural textures, polished, or matte without sealants |
💪 Strength & Durability
Sintered stone is up to 3x stronger than ceramic:
-
✅ Scratch-resistant: Handles knives and keys without damage
-
✅ Heat-resistant: No marks from hot pots or pans
-
✅ Stain-resistant: Wine, oil, and coffee wipe away easily
-
✅ Waterproof & non-porous: No sealing needed, unlike many ceramics
🎨 Design & Aesthetics
| Feature | Ceramic | Sintered Stone |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Appeal | Limited patterns, can chip easily | Seamless natural stone looks (marble, concrete, travertine) |
| Colour Depth | Printed on surface | Solid through-body pigmentation |
| Edges & Profiles | Simple and fragile | Chamfered, rounded, waterfall edges possible |
🛠️ Daily Use & Maintenance
-
Ceramic: Prone to cracks, chips, and discolouration over time. Needs care.
-
Sintered Stone: Virtually maintenance-free. Wipe with cloth. No special cleaners.
♻️ Sustainability & Hygiene
-
Eco-conscious: Sintered stone is made from natural minerals with no resins or glues.
-
Hygienic: Ultra-low porosity means it resists bacteria, mold, and mildew growth.
