When it comes to selecting a surface that balances style and strength, sintered stone is in a class of its own. At Midea Homes, our sintered stone tiles are redefining what’s possible for kitchen benchtops, combining sleek aesthetics with unmatched durability. Designed for modern living, these large-format tiles offer a seamless look, superior resistance to wear and heat, and effortless maintenance — all in a variety of designs suited to New Zealand homes.

Built for the Heart of Your Home

Your kitchen is more than a cooking area — it’s where family gathers, meals are shared, and daily life unfolds. That’s why choosing a benchtop that can stand the test of time (and spills, scratches, and heat) is essential.

Sintered stone is widely regarded as one of the best materials for this purpose. It resists heat, scratches, and stains — making it ideal for high-use kitchen environments. Even with frequent meal prep and daily wear, your benchtop maintains its beauty with ease. Plus, the sleek, polished finish of our tile range makes it suitable for both traditional and modern kitchen styles.

Premium Sintered Stone for More Than Just Kitchens

While sintered stone is an outstanding choice for kitchen benchtops, its versatility extends far beyond. It’s equally at home on:

  • Bathroom vanities
  • Indoor feature walls
  • Fireplace surrounds
  • Laundry surfaces
  • Splashbacks and even full-height cladding

One of the most common design upgrades we see is using sintered stone for both benchtops and splashbacks. The result is a continuous, seamless surface that ties the space together while simplifying cleaning. With the same stain-resistant and heat-tolerant properties across applications, it’s a smart and stylish solution.

Find a Finish That Matches Your Lifestyle

Every home is different, and so is every kitchen. That’s why Midea Homes offers sintered stone tiles in a wide array of colours, surface patterns, and large-format finishes — perfect for achieving your desired look, whether timeless, bold, or minimalist.

Whether you're after the warm tones of natural stone, the refined elegance of marble, or a dramatic modern surface, there's a finish for every aesthetic and lifestyle.

A Material That’s Made to Last — Without the Hassle

What truly sets sintered stone apart from other materials like quartz or granite is its low-maintenance profile and non-porous surface. There’s no sealing required, and it’s UV stable — so colours won’t fade over time.

For homeowners wondering how sintered stone compares to quartz or granite: while each material has its benefits, sintered stone offers better stain resistance, UV protection, and a broader variety of design options, especially in large-format tile applications.

Effortless Everyday Cleaning

One of the most appealing aspects of sintered stone is how easy it is to clean. Just use a soft cloth with mild soap and water — no harsh chemicals or sealing products needed. This makes it a practical choice for busy households, where performance and convenience are key.
