WHY NEOLITH?
With so many surfacing options available on the market, it can be difficult to fully understand the performance of the various materials currently available. For example, Sintered stone shares some properties with another popular surface, porcelain. However, there are some big differences. Here are 10 reasons why you should choose Neolith Sintered Stone for your next project:
1. Greater Variety | Neolith offers 3mm, 6mm, 12mm, and 20mm thicknesses, providing architects and designers the ultimate in versatility. Slabs are also available in large formats, making them ideal for cut-to-size projects and providing maximum customization.
2. Highest Quality Raw Materials | Many ceramic and porcelain producers create surfaces composed of a layer of cheaper, lower-grade minerals with a thin veneer of high-quality material on top. Neolith surfaces are created using the best quality raw materials throughout.
3. Color Range | Neolith produces a vast array of colors, patterns and finishes including everything from hyper-realistic natural wood patterns, patinated metals, and swirling, textured granites to full body terrazzo and bright colors.
4. Design Definition | Using natural pigments, water-based inks and environmentally friendly production methods, Neolith creates complex patterns and vivid colors. New types of inks also allow for textures which resemble naturally occurring materials, creating more realistic striations and veins.
5. Professional Polish | Neolith’s surfaces are polished to perfection, guaranteeing a perfectly linear reflection and higher degree of shine and depth.

6. Quality | The Neolith mark is a guarantee of the highest quality materials and production standards. Developed from the brand’s original product: Kitchen countertops, which needed to have the durability and beauty demanded by professional chefs and home cooks alike.
7. Experience | Every Neolith slab is produced by people who have decades of experience in the stone industry. Their expertise means that the brand is continually improving and innovating.
8. Ease of Fabrication | Neolith’s slabs are recognized in the industry as being more workable than other product categories. The company works to educate fabricators on how to work with the product. The surfaces are easier to cut and handle, and the brand’s fabrication facilities allow for more customization.
9. Sustainability | Committed to becoming the most sustainable manufacturer in the Sintered Stone industry, Neolith has invested in cutting-edge manufacturing technology and machinery to ensure its surfaces are the greenest available on the market. Producing lower emissions and pollutants during production than ceramic and porcelain, Neolith slabs use 100 percent natural raw materials and are also recyclable.
10. Made to Last | Neolith slabs are waterproof and impervious to strong chemicals and cleaning agents. With the ability to withstand extreme temperature, they are suitable for any interior or exterior environment. The material’s high resistance to staining, scratching and UV rays means that it has unrivaled longevity, out-performing ceramics, and porcelain on every level.
