Funtek’s slabs deliver measurable advantages across key metrics such as fire safety, hardness, and water absorption, outperforming both marble and quartz in strength, safety, and sustainability.
Material Composition and Manufacturing
Each Funtek sintered stone slab is composed of 100% natural minerals — quartz sand, feldspar, kaolin, alumina, and pigments — undergoes high-temperature sintering at 1,200°C and a 30,000-ton press compaction process to achieve maximum density and zero porosity.
[Global Market Growth Chart Missing] According to the Global Ceramic Building Materials Report (2025), the global sintered stone market will reach USD 45.8 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.5%, driven by demand in commercial architecture and sustainable design.
