What is the difference between Porcelain and Sintered Stone?

The term ‘Sintered Stone’ is used by numerous manufacturers to refer to a specific part of the production process, whereby minerals are melted and solidified at high temperatures. This process, which requires no binders, may be relevant to several raw materials compositions, including that of Porcelain. This process is not exclusive, nor is the term ‘Sintered Stone’. It is also not a testament or claim to a better product. Any claim related to better performance and/or easier fabrication should be tested carefully before making any assumptions. Caesarstone Porcelain has one of the best proficiency claims for cutting and has been adopted by leading fabricators globally. Caesarstone surfaces undergo rigorous fabrication testing and are renowned for excellent fabrication outcomes and quality.

What products to avoid in protecting porcelain?

Do not use hydrofluoric acid or materials containing it. Avoid products containing oils as they may leave a residue. You should rinse all products thoroughly. If the surface comes into contact with any products that might damage it, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Check each cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t damage the surface. Which cleaning products are suitable for porcelain?

Are Porcelain surfaces hygienic?

Your surface is engineered to be highly nonporous; as such, it is non-absorbent and does not host bacteria, mould, or mildew. As a result, it remains safe and fresh for ultimate cleanliness.

Which cleaning products are suitable for porcelain?

Use your regular home cleaning products or our range of specialised Caesarstone® products and check the product first by applying it to an inconspicuous area on the surface. It’s best to avoid using the same cloth you use for washing dishes, as it may transfer oils and other contaminants to your surface.

Cleaning for Porcelain finishes

Honed and Ultra Rough finishes are more prone to metal marks, fingerprints, and other signs of daily use, which can easily be removed with non-abrasive cleaning products such as Caesarstone® Spray Cleaner.
