Dark Grey Lava Texture Sintered Stone Slabs for Kitchen Island and Countertop

FAQ:

Q1: What exactly is the "Lava Texture" finish?
A: The Lava Texture is a deeply textured, three-dimensional matte finish that replicates the look and feel of natural volcanic rock. It is not a printed image but a physical texture pressed into the slab, providing an authentic, tactile experience and superior grip.

Q2: Is the textured surface difficult to clean?
A: Not at all. While the surface is textured, it is 100% non-porous. Spills and dirt cannot penetrate the surface. For daily cleaning, simply wiping with a damp cloth and a mild pH-neutral soap is sufficient. The texture is effective at hiding fingerprints and smudges, making it lower maintenance than high-gloss surfaces.

Q3: What are the primary applications for this slab?
A: This slab is incredibly versatile. Its most popular applications include:

• Feature Walls: Creates a dramatic backdrop in lobbies, living rooms, and restaurants.

• Kitchen Islands: Becomes a stunning, durable focal point in any kitchen.

• Bar Tops and Fronts: Ideal for commercial bars and home entertainment spaces.

• Reception Desks: Makes a powerful first impression in corporate or hotel settings.

• Exterior Cladding: UV-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor feature walls.

Q4: How does the durability compare to natural granite or quartz?
A: This sintered stone often exceeds the performance of natural stone and quartz. It is:

• More scratch-resistant than granite and most quartz.

• More heat-resistant than quartz (which can be damaged by extreme heat).

• Non-porous, unlike granite which requires periodic sealing.
  It combines the best performance attributes into one superior material.

Q5: What thicknesses are available, and which should I choose for my project?
A: We supply this slab in three primary thicknesses:

• 6mm: Ideal for interior wall cladding and vertical applications. Often used with a backing board for added stability.

• 12mm: The standard for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, and table tops.

• 20mm: Recommended for heavy-duty commercial countertops, waterfall edges, and exterior applications where extra robustness is required.

Q6: Do you offer custom sizing or pre-fabrication?
A: Yes. We are a factory direct supplier and specialize in custom-cut sizes to minimize waste and fabrication time for our wholesale partners. We can also provide precision edging and cut-outs (e.g., for sinks or cooktops) upon request.

Q7: What is the lead time for orders, and where do you ship?
A: We maintain a strong inventory for quick dispatch. Standard lead times are 10-15 business days after order confirmation. We have extensive experience shipping containers to major ports across North America and Europe and can arrange door-to-door logistics.

Q8: Can I get samples before placing a bulk order?
A: Absolutely. We highly recommend it. We offer physical sample kits that include a small tile of the actual lava texture material. This allows you and your clients to feel the texture and see the true color in your lighting.

Q9: Is this product suitable for outdoor use in variable climates?
A: Yes. The slabs are UV and frost-resistant, making them perfectly suitable for exterior applications in both hot-sun and freeze-thaw climates. They will not fade, crack, or degrade from weather exposure.

Q10: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) for wholesalers?
A: Our standard MOQ is one container, but we can offer mixed-container loads for partners looking to stock a variety of our sintered stone products. Contact our sales team for specific MOQ details and mixed-container pricing.
