In the world of materials, strength is key. But how is it measured? At Ascale, we don’t just talk about durability—we prove it. Each of our sintered stone surfaces undergoes a rigorous testing process to ensure you receive a product that is not only beautiful but also incredibly durable.
Resistance that stands up to anything: the secret in our laboratory
Our products undergo strict quality control, which includes:
- Low absorption is essential to prevent stains and bacterial growth. Our sintered stone has virtually zero porosity, making it waterproof and extremely hygienic. This process is directly linked to the water absorption control we mentioned in our Instagram campaign.
- Stain resistance: We test our surfaces with everyday substances such as coffee, oil, and wine. The result is a non-absorbent surface, which means stains can be easily cleaned without leaving a trace. Our material’s stain resistance is one of its most valued properties, resulting in fewer harsh cleaning products and greater sustainability.
- Scratch test with metals and natural stones: We evaluate the hardness of our materials to ensure they withstand daily use, resisting scratches from metals and other stones. The high hardness of our sintered stone protects it from everyday wear and tear, keeping its appearance flawless for longer. This scratch test is key to ensuring the product’s longevity.
Sustainability and durability: a real commitment
A product’s durability not only benefits the consumer but also the planet. A material that withstands the test of time and heavy use doesn’t need to be replaced frequently. This reduces waste generation and the demand for new resources, resulting in a lower environmental impact.
At Ascale, our philosophy is to create products that last. When you choose our surfaces, you’re not only investing in quality and design, but also making a sustainable choice.
