But what is Neolith countertops exactly? Neolith is an engineered sintered stone surface, composed of natural raw materials and crafted through an advanced technological process to produce incredibly durable and sleek slabs. Recognized for its refined aesthetic and structural resilience, Neolith has redefined the kitchen and bath surface industry with a unique blend of beauty and performance.
Envisioned to meet the demands of high-end residential and commercial projects, Neolith combines innovation with eco-conscious manufacturing, placing it at the forefront of the sintered stone revolution. At Zicana Boutique, we curate a premium selection of luxury surfaces, and Neolith is a distinguished feature of our Sintered Stone Slabs Collection.
The Engineered Excellence Behind Neolith
Neolith is a type of sintered stone, meaning it is manufactured using a high-pressure and high-temperature process that fuses raw materials without the use of resins or binders. Composed primarily of crushed stone, silica, and natural oxides, it is compressed with over 4,000 PSI of pressure and heated at roughly 2,200°F. The result is a slab that exhibits extreme structure density, resilience, and uniformity. This state-of-the-art technique ensures a non-porous, hygienic surface ideal for both interior and exterior applications.
Unlike traditional natural stones, Neolith is engineered to prevent scratches, stains, UV damage, and thermal shock, making it an incredibly versatile material suitable for countertops, flooring, wall cladding, facades, and even furniture. It remains a top choice among professionals seeking chic, low-maintenance luxury.
