Thick sintered stone countertop for a demanding outdoor kitchen

Why 20mm sintered stone wins outside

Sintered stone at 20mm takes impact and heat that thins down resin-based tops. Water absorption near zero means frost cannot split the body, and the colour runs through the print layer so UV does not bleach it.

Confirm the span and support before ordering. Twenty millimetres is strong, but an unsupported overhang still needs the 12-20mm fabrication guide.

Outside, thickness is the specification. Everything else follows.
