What Is Sintered Stone? The Material Revolutionising Outdoor Furniture
When it comes to outdoor furniture, the materials you choose matter just as much as the design. Furniture left to face the elements day after day needs more than just good looks—it needs strength, durability, and low-maintenance appeal. That’s where sintered stone comes in. This cutting-edge material is making waves in the world of outdoor design, offering the perfect combination of resilience, refined style, and long-term performance.
At Eden Living, we’ve embraced sintered stone as part of our commitment to thoughtful, high-quality design. Here’s everything you need to know about the material that’s elevating modern outdoor living.
So, What Is Sintered Stone?
Sintered stone is an advanced surface material made by compressing 100% natural minerals—like quartz, feldspar, and clay—under intense heat and pressure. The process mimics the formation of natural stone, but in a fraction of the time and with even greater durability.
The result is a dense, non-porous surface that’s incredibly hardwearing, stain-resistant, UV-stable, and heatproof. And because there are no resins or chemical binders involved, it’s also a safe, sustainable, and low-maintenance option for both residential and commercial settings.
This adaptability also makes it ideal for creating statement pieces. From lounge chairs and daybeds to dining sets and coffee tables, HDPE wicker rope can be used to craft bold, on-trend designs that add a touch of luxury to any patio or garden. The twisted texture of the rope adds depth and interest to furniture, making it stand out as both functional and visually appealing.
Why Is Sintered Stone Perfect for Outdoor Furniture?
Outdoor spaces in Australia—particularly in Queensland—are exposed to some of the toughest conditions, from harsh sun and humidity to rain, salt air, and constant temperature changes. Sintered stone stands up to it all. It’s highly weather-resistant, meaning it won’t fade, crack, or warp under UV exposure or heat. Its non-porous surface is waterproof and hygienic, resisting mould, mildew, and bacteria, while also being scratch and stain resistant—ideal for outdoor dining and everyday use. Best of all, it’s incredibly low maintenance, requiring no sealing or special care—just a simple wipe down. Made from natural minerals and fully recyclable, sintered stone is also an eco-conscious choice. Whether you're creating a poolside retreat, a sheltered patio, or a rooftop entertaining space, sintered stone delivers lasting beauty and high performance in one elegant package.
