What is Neolith?
Neolith is a brand of sintered stone surfaces produced by Neolith Group from Spain. The founders of Neolith are from a region in Spain know for ceramics and surfacing, and they used that knowledge to develop “sintered stone,” a combination of the best qualities of natural materials and engineering. Interestingly, “neolith” means “new stone,” and that’s exactly what was created.
Neolith stone is an innovative alternative to traditional stone surfaces and has been designed for superior performance and design flexibility. Available for both residential and commercial spaces, Neolith stone can be found around the world.
Why Choose Neolith Countertops and Surfaces?
Neolith countertops and surfaces are one of the most recognized throughout the world. They are ultra-compact sintered stone slabs that are very similar to porcelain yet slightly different. Sintered stone is made from natural materials, including feldspar, clay, silica, and oxides. Using extreme heat and pressure, these materials are fused in a process the mimics how stone forms over thousands of years.
The end result of the sintering process is manmade stone that is resistant to heat, UV exposure, scratches, etching, stains, and chemicals. By comparison, porcelain are ceramic-based and use fewer materials during creation.
Neolith stone surfaces have near-zero porosity, come in a variety of colors and textures, and work well indoors and outdoors. Current collections include:
- Neolith Iconic Design: The latest generation of sintered stone with full body color and veining that looks as close to natural stone as possible.
