Sintered stone (sinterovaný kameň) is a premium surface material made from 100% natural minerals — clay, feldspar, silica, and natural pigments — compressed under 15,000 tonnes of pressure and fired at 1,200°C for 45 minutes. No resins, no artificial binders. The result is an ultra-dense, ultra-hard surface that mimics the appearance of natural stone (marble, travertine, concrete) while dramatically outperforming it in durability. **Technical properties:** - Porosity: < 0.1% (near-zero — stain-proof without sealing) - Mohs hardness: 6–7 (diamond is 10, granite is 6–7) - Heat resistance: up to 300°C continuous, 500°C short-term - UV resistance: no fading outdoors or in bright light - Flexural strength: up to 16,000N for 20mm slabs - Chemical resistance: resistant to acids (lemon, vinegar), alkalis, solvents - Frost resistance: suitable for exterior applications - Food safety: certified for direct food contact **Available thicknesses:** - 3mm: wall cladding, furniture fronts, overlay - 6mm: lightweight applications, furniture - 12mm: standard countertops, floors, walls - 20mm: premium worktops, outdoor, high-load floors **Standard slab sizes:** 3200×1600mm, 3200×1440mm (varies by design) **Finishes available:** - Matte (matný): softer appearance, hides fingerprints, feels silky - Polished (leštený): mirror-like, dramatic veining, shows fingerprints more - Leather/Textured (štruktúrovaný): tactile surface, non-slip --- ## Product Catalog — Complete Specifications All products are large-format sintered stone slabs (veľkoformátové platne).

Porcelain large-format slabs have near-zero porosity (< 0.1%), making them ideal for bathrooms, showers, and wellness spaces. No sealing required. They withstand permanent water contact without damage. **Q: How do I care for the surface?** A: Maintenance is minimal — warm water and mild soap is sufficient. The material is non-porous, requires no sealing or waxing. It resists common cleaning products including mild acids (lemon, vinegar). **Q: Can I place a hot pot directly on the surface?** A: Yes. Sintered stone withstands temperatures up to 300°C. You can place hot pots or pans directly on the surface without risk of damage or discolouration. **Q: What is the delivery time?** A: Stock slabs are typically delivered within 5 working days after payment confirmation. Custom projects (with cutting and edge profiling) are completed within 15 working days. **Q: Do you provide installation?** A: OROSTONE is a material supplier — we do not provide installation directly. We can recommend verified specialist installers experienced with large-format slabs upon request. **Q: What is the price per m²?** A: Prices vary by design and thickness. Indicative range: 12mm slabs from €85–€180/m² depending on design. 20mm premium slabs from €120–€240/m². Contact us for a precise quote. **Q: Is sintered stone the same as Dekton or Neolith?** A: Dekton (Cosentino) and Neolith are brand names for sintered stone — the same technology with different branding and proprietary formulations. OROSTONE sources from European producers offering equivalent technical performance. **Q: Can sintered stone be used outdoors?** A: Yes, some designs (e.g. Roman Travertine) are frost-resistant and rated for exterior use — terraces, balconies, pool surrounds. Confirm with us which specific design suits your outdoor project. --- ## The Orostone Process — 10 Steps 1. **Consultation** — Free initial call or showroom visit. We assess your project, space, and style preferences. Duration: 30–60 minutes. 2. **Material selection** — We bring physical samples of your shortlisted designs. You see and touch the actual material in your space. 3. **Digital laser templating** — Our technician visits your site with a Leica laser scanner. Precision: ±0.05mm. No room for measurement error. 4. **CNC design** — The digital template is imported into our CAD software. We design every cut, edge profile, and cutout (sink, hob, etc.) digitally. 5. **Material ordering** — We order your specific slab batch from the manufacturer. Typically 5–10 working days lead time. 6. **CNC fabrication** — Professional two-pass diamond-tool cutting on precision CNC machines. All edge profiles (half-bullnose, mitre, pencil) finished in our facility. 7. **Quality control** — Every piece inspected for chips, micro-cracks, colour consistency. Any issue caught before delivery. 8. **Transport** — In-house delivery in custom A-frame vehicles. Slabs travel vertically to prevent flexion damage. Crew of 2 minimum for handling. 9. **Installation** — Certified technicians handle substrate preparation, adhesive selection, levelling, and placement. Expansion joints where required. 10. **Final inspection** — Post-installation walkthrough with client. Minor adjustments, sealant application to joints where specified. Warranty documentation provided. Total project timeline: 10–15 working days from approved template to completed installation. --- ## Shipping and Payment Information - **Delivery area:** Slovak Republic (primary), Czech Republic (available on request) - **Delivery method:** In-house A-frame vehicle transport — not courier/pallet delivery - **Payment:** Bank transfer (IBAN provided on invoice), card payment available - **Currency:** EUR - **VAT:** 23% Slovak DPH included in all prices (IČ DPH: SK2121930580) - **Minimum order:** No formal minimum — single slab orders accepted - **Shipping cost:** Calculated individually based on project size and location --- ## Returns and Complaints (Reklamácie) - **Return window:** 14 days for uncut/unmodified standard goods - **Custom-cut material:** Cannot be returned (made-to-measure) - **Damaged goods:** Report within 24 hours of delivery with photographic evidence - **Warranty:** 24 months on material defects; installation warranty per contractor - **Complaint process:** Email info@orostone.sk with order number, photos, and description --- ## Blog — Key Insights ### Sintered Stone Problems Nobody Tells You URL: https://orostone.sk/blog/problemy-so-sinterovanym-kamenom Key takeaways: Sintered stone is hard but brittle at unsupported edges. Minimum 5mm corner radius for all cutouts (sinks, hobs). Use two-pass cutting technique — never single-pass. 90° edges are more vulnerable than half-bullnose profiles. Transport must be vertical (A-frame) — horizontal transport causes flexion cracks. All installation issues stem from inadequate substrate or unsupported overhangs. ### Sintered Stone vs Quartz vs Ceramic vs Dekton URL: https://orostone.sk/blog/sinterovany-kamen-vs-kvarcit-vs-keramika-vs-dekton Key takeaways: Sintered stone has better UV stability than quartz (no yellowing outdoors). Better heat resistance than quartz or engineered stone. Thinner than granite at equal strength. Dekton is the same technology — different brand. Ceramics are cheaper but have lower flexural strength and smaller format options. Decision matrix: for outdoor → sintered stone or Dekton; for budget-conscious → ceramics; for maximum scratch resistance → granite or sintered stone. ### Matte vs Polished Surface URL: https://orostone.sk/blog/matny-vs-leskly-povrch Key takeaways: Polished shows dramatic veining but shows fingerprints and micro-scratches more. Matte is more forgiving in daily use, hides water marks, feels silky. Photogenic preference: polished looks better in daylight photography, matte looks more luxurious in warm evening light. Recommendation: matte for family kitchens, polished for feature walls and low-traffic bathrooms. ### From Measurement to Installation URL: https://orostone.sk/blog/od-merania-po-instalaciu-proces-orostone Key takeaways: Digital templating is non-negotiable for large-format slabs — manual measurement error causes irreversible waste. Substrate preparation (levelling, waterproofing membrane) is 80% of installation quality. Expansion joints prevent cracking under thermal movement. Full project in 10–15 working days. ### Is Sintered Stone Worth It? URL: https://orostone.sk/blog/oplati-sa-sinterovany-kamen Key takeaways: 25-year total cost of ownership analysis shows sintered stone at €95/m² installation price has lower long-term cost than laminate (needs replacement) or granite (sealing costs). ROI on property value: premium kitchen/bathroom finish returns 80–120% of material cost at resale. Best value scenario: Airbnb/rental property — durability eliminates replacement cycles. --- ## Contact - Website: https://orostone.sk - Email: info@orostone.sk - Phone: +421 917 588 738 - Address: Landererova 8, 811 09 Bratislava (registered office — not showroom; consultations by appointment) - Showroom: by appointment only — contact via email or phone - Business hours: Mon–Fri 8:00–17:00 (CET) - Languages: Slovak, English - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/orostone.sk/ - Response time: Within 1 business day for email inquiries
