Sintered Stone Countertop Installation and cutting

Sintered stone slabs are the most suitable material for making kitchen countertops. After getting the measurement from the customer, we need to do the cutting, drilling, and slotting first and then install the countertop for the customer.

We would like to point out that sintered stone is called as a porcelain slab in some areas of the world. The difference between sintered stone and porcelain slab will not be mentioned again in this article, while we prefer to use sintered stone hereinafter, which is the professional product name we refer to.
Why sintered stone countertops?

During the processing, we may use the following tools, and the steps may be included:
