Smartstone Showcases Sintered Stone Options for Australian Kitchen Benchtops

Australian surface specialist highlights durability, design flexibility and natural-stone aesthetics through its Sintered Collection.

SYDNEY, Australia – 15 September 2026 – Australians planning new kitchens and renovations are increasingly balancing aesthetics with practicality when choosing materials for one of the most heavily used surfaces in the home. Smartstone is helping make that decision easier through its Sintered Collection, offering a range of stone-style surfaces designed for contemporary kitchen benchtops.

The collection combines the visual character associated with natural stone with the performance characteristics of modern sintered surfaces. Designed for residential and commercial applications, Smartstone’s range provides renovators, homeowners, architects and interior designers with options suited to a variety of budgets and design styles.

Bringing Natural-Stone Style to Everyday Kitchens

Kitchen benchtops play a major role in setting the visual direction of a kitchen, while also needing to withstand the demands of everyday cooking, cleaning and entertaining.

Smartstone’s Sintered Collection has been developed to provide natural-stone-inspired aesthetics in an ultra-compact surface. The range includes veined and non-veined designs across whites, creams, greys and darker tones, allowing the surface to work across contemporary, classic and statement kitchen schemes.

Smartstone surfaces are available in Matt and Suede finishes, providing further flexibility when coordinating benchtops with cabinetry, flooring, splashbacks and other interior materials.

A Smartstone spokesperson said:

“Choosing a kitchen benchtop is about more than finding a colour that looks good in a showroom. It needs to work with the broader kitchen design and continue performing as the space is used every day. The Sintered Collection gives customers the opportunity to combine stone-inspired aesthetics with the practical qualities expected from a modern surface.”

Sintered Stone Designed for High-Use Spaces

The Smartstone Sintered Collection uses natural raw materials that are compressed under high pressure and exposed to high temperatures through the sintering process.

The resulting surface is non-porous and designed to provide high levels of durability. Smartstone also identifies UV stability among the collection’s performance characteristics, broadening its potential use beyond conventional indoor kitchen applications.

The combination of performance and design versatility makes sintered stone particularly relevant for homeowners comparing stone benchtops, porcelain surfaces and other modern kitchen materials.

Rather than approaching surface selection purely from an aesthetic perspective, Smartstone encourages customers to consider the demands the finished kitchen will place on the material, including maintenance, longevity, exposure to everyday spills and overall suitability for the project.

Options Across Different Styles and Budgets

Kitchen renovations can vary significantly in budget and design requirements. To help accommodate different projects, the Smartstone Sintered Collection is organised across Pure, Classic and Deluxe price categories.

Customers can refine the collection by colour family, veining and price range, making it easier to compare surfaces according to both visual preferences and project requirements.

This approach also gives designers and renovators greater flexibility when creating a premium stone-inspired aesthetic without relying exclusively on traditional natural stone.

Smartstone has supplied stone surfaces to the Australian market since 2002 and continues to focus on combining quality, aesthetics, performance and accessible design.

Making Kitchen Benchtop Selection More Tangible

Because colours, veining and finishes can appear different in a physical space than they do on a screen, Smartstone allows customers to order up to three free samples from its Sintered Collection.

Samples can be compared alongside cabinetry, paint colours, flooring and other kitchen finishes before a final decision is made.

Customers can also visit Smartstone showrooms to view full-size surfaces and better understand how different patterns and finishes work at scale.

For Australians researching their next kitchen renovation or building project, the full collection of stone surfaces for kitchen benchtop projects can be explored online.
