Balances the steel body
These surfaces soften the look of stainless steel and help the room feel more residential without losing practical performance.

Sintered Stone Countertop (Dekton/Neolithclass)
Residential material guide
**Sintered stone: 90%+ natural minerals, 0% organic binders (ISO 10545-3)**
Sintered stone countertops consist of porcelain clays, feldspar, silica, and glass particles fused at 1200°C–1400°C to create a non-porous, monolithic slab. This manufacturing process—sintering—mimics geological stone formation in an accelerated industrial cycle that eliminates the organic binders and resins present in engineered quartz.

Overview
What this surface adds to the room.
The resulting matrix contains zero polymer content, with inorganic pigments integrated throughout the body rather than surface-applied.
**Fadior specifies sintered stone grades from certified European and Asian manufacturers meeting density requirements of 2.4–2.5 g/cm³ per ASTM C373.** This density threshold ensures structural integrity for our zero-formaldehyde kitchen ecosystems. The material's chemical inertness—confirmed by SGS testing as E0/NAF (No Added Formaldehyde)—contains zero VOCs and releases no formaldehyde, aligning with our 7th-generation glue-free steel frame technology.
Our 2023 supplier audit protocol requires batch-specific certificates of analysis verifying mineral composition and firing temperature documentation.
High-pressure compaction prior to firing reduces water absorption to <0.1% per ISO 10545-3, rendering the material impervious to liquid penetration and bacterial colonization (ASTM E2180: >99.9% reduction in bacterial load). **Fadior integrates these slabs directly with 304 food-grade stainless steel cabinet bodies (GB/T 3280-2015), creating hybrid assemblies where countertop and cabinetry share identical hygiene profiles and thermal stability from -50°C to +150°C.**
Material note
Chosen for daily contact
They matter most where hands, heat, utensils, and visual wear all meet at one working surface.
Material note
Works by contrast
The value here is not to imitate steel, but to give the system a calmer counterpoint in tone and texture.

Applications
Where it starts to make sense in a real room.
Atelier
Curves hold the room together without adding noise.
Countertop balance
Works best where the room needs a calmer upper surface to offset the precision and reflection of steel cabinetry.
