What is Neolith?
Born in the last decade, Neolith – a Sintered Stone – is a revolutionary product category pioneered by TheSize to effectively respond to the most demanding architectural and interior design needs. Neolith does not belong to what is traditionally known as “ceramic” or “porcelain”: it is rather an extreme evolution of these ones to the extent of creating a new kind of surface previously inexistent. Neolith is the pioneer and continous innovator of the Sintered Stones.
What is a Sintered Stone?
It is a 100% natural material based on 3 groups of natural elements: 1. Granite Minerals: Quartz and Feldspar which grants hardness and strength to the product. 2. Glass Minerals and Silica which grants chemical stability. 3. Natural oxides which grants chromatic properties.
Neolith Applications:
Thanks to the format and physical-mechanical characteristics, this type of product results ideal for limitless indoors and outdoors applications in the commercial and residential area: countertops, flooring, cladding, façades, furniture. Imagination is the only limitation.
Neolith Properties
Resistant to scratching:
Resistant to scratching and abrasion due to the hardness of the surface.
Resistant to ice and freezing:
Neolith® is not damaged by low temperatures.
Resistant to UV Rays:
Since the color is 100% natural, it does not deteriorate due to exposure to the sun or extreme temperatures
Resistant to bending:
