• Sintered stone countertops are more expensive: High-end raw materials, complex craftsmanship, and specialized cutting and installation requirements are key factors. • Quartz countertops are more affordable: Easy installation and a high cost-performance ratio make them suitable for users with limited budgets or those seeking diverse designs.

The most important indicator for determining the scratch resistance of sintered stone countertops is the material's hardness. Sintered stone countertops typically have a Mohs hardness of 7 or higher, approaching that of natural granite. This means that most common kitchen tools and everyday items are unlikely to cause noticeable scratches.

While theoretically, sintered stone countertops with high hardness can withstand polishing, in practice, the feasibility and practicality of polishing are very low. Therefore, it is generally accepted in the industry that sintered stone countertops are not suitable for polishing.

Sintered stone flooring is heat-resistant, scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and UV-resistant, with low water absorption and excellent slip resistance. It's suitable for long-term bathroom use and is easy and convenient to maintain.

Sintered stone floors can be either glossy or matte. The finish depends primarily on the production process and the desired finish, not on the material itself. Glossy sintered stone floors offer a high gloss, a modern feel, and a sense of transparency; matte sintered stone floors are non-slip, safe, and natural.

The answer is not absolute. Its anti-slip performance depends primarily on the surface finish and the intended use scenario: • Polished sintered stone floors are indeed slippery when wet; • Matte and anti-slip sintered stone floors maintain good friction and safety even in wet conditions.
