Smartstone Spotlights Sintered Stone for Kitchen Stone Benchtops

Smartstone’s Sintered Collection gives Australian homeowners, designers and builders a refined surface option for durable, design-led stone benchtops across kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor areas and architectural interiors.

SYDNEY, Australia — Smartstone is helping Australians reimagine the future of kitchen stone benchtops with its Sintered Collection, a sophisticated range of sintered stone surfaces designed to balance natural-stone aesthetics with hardwearing performance.

As homeowners continue to prioritise durability, low-maintenance living and refined design finishes, Smartstone’s latest surface range offers a versatile option for those seeking stone benchtops that feel elevated without sacrificing practicality. The Sintered Collection has been developed for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications, including kitchen benchtops, bathroom vanities, fireplaces, furniture, wall cladding and barbecue areas.

The range reflects Smartstone’s long-standing reputation for accessible luxury, giving renovators, designers and builders a surface solution that supports both everyday living and high-end design outcomes. With European-inspired styling, a choice of Matt and Suede finishes, and options across Pure, Classic and Deluxe price points, the collection has been created to suit diverse architectural styles, budgets and personal tastes.

“Kitchen surfaces carry a huge amount of visual and practical responsibility in the modern Australian home,” said [Spokesperson Name], [Title] at Smartstone. “With the Sintered Collection, we’re giving homeowners and design professionals a surface that delivers the beauty people love in natural stone, with the performance qualities needed for real homes, real families and real projects.”

Smartstone’s sintered stone surfaces are created through a sintering process that uses intense heat and pressure to bind natural minerals into an ultra-compact material. The result is a durable, non-porous surface designed for strong performance during fabrication, installation and everyday use.

For homeowners researching kitchen stone benchtops, the collection offers several practical advantages. Smartstone’s sintered surfaces are UV-stable, weather-proof and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, allowing the same refined surface language to flow from kitchens to alfresco spaces. The range also recreates the character of natural stone styles, including marble-inspired veining and soft neutral palettes, while offering a more practical surface solution for modern projects.

The Smartstone Sintered Collection also supports the evolving needs of the building and design industry. As a porcelain-based surface range, it is excluded from the definition of engineered stone under WorkSafe guidelines and is positioned by Smartstone as a compliant alternative for Australian projects.

Design flexibility is central to the collection. From bright, classic marble-inspired surfaces to deeper greys, warm creams and striking veined styles, Smartstone gives homeowners and professionals the ability to create benchtops that suit both contemporary and timeless interiors. The range is also supported by large slab sizing, edge profile guidance, showroom experiences, a virtual gallery and the option to order up to three samples online.

For builders, designers and renovators, Smartstone’s Sintered Collection provides a single destination for stone benchtops that combine style, substance and practical project support. Whether used as a kitchen island centrepiece, a bathroom vanity top, an outdoor barbecue surface or a feature wall, the collection has been developed to bring natural stone style into more areas of the home.

Australians planning a kitchen renovation or design project can explore Smartstone’s Sintered Collection and view available stone benchtops through the Smartstone website.
