Blue Bahia Sintered Stone is an artificial stone meticulously crafted with high-tech machines to be a perfect replica of the original Azul Bahia Granite. This exceptional material closely mimics the appearance of Azul Bahia Granite, featuring a blue background with white and black patterns. Available in various thicknesses, including 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 10.00mm, 12.00mm, 14.00mm, 16.00mm, 18.00mm, and 20.00mm, Blue Bahia Sintered Stone is created through a sintering process. This involves heating a matrix of minerals to form a solid, impenetrable mass. The unique manufacturing technique ensures that the surface of Blue Bahia Sintered Stone remains impervious to etching, scratching, burning, or staining. The remarkable resemblance to natural Azul Bahia Granite enhances the aesthetic appeal of this sintered stone in various design applications. Typically used for kitchen and bathroom countertops, commercial tops, ornamental stone, stairs, interior and exterior wall and floor applications, mosaic, waterjet patterns, wall panels, table tops, columns, fireplaces, and custom furniture, Blue Bahia Sintered Stone offers a versatile and luxurious appearance. Importantly, it outperforms quartz in durability in every measurable way, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for a range of design projects.
