ENGINEERING BENCHMARK
Why Sintered Porcelain Outperforms Traditional Stone
A side-by-side technical evaluation of Follis sintered porcelain against natural quarry marble and engineered quartz countertops.
| Physical Property | Follis Sintered Vitrified | Natural Quarry Marble | Engineered Quartz |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Absorption & Porosity | < 0.05% (Impervious, non-porous) | 0.5% – 2.0% (High porosity, absorbs stains) | 0.1% – 0.2% (Moderate) |
| Surface Hardness (Mohs Scale) | Mohs 7 – 8 (Diamond scratch proof) | Mohs 3 – 4 (Scratches with kitchen knives) | Mohs 6 – 7 |
| Heat & Fire Resistance | Direct contact 1250°C (Non-combustible A1) | Cracks and discolors under thermal shock | Polyester resins scorch > 150°C |
| UV & Sunlight Stability | 100% UV Stable (Zero fading outdoors) | Yellows and chalks with UV exposure | Fades and yellows in direct sun |
| Stain & Chemical Resistance | Class 5 (Immune to wine, acids, oils) | Etches immediately with citrus, vinegar | Class 4 (Sensitive to solvents/bleach) |
| Maintenance Routine | Zero sealing required. Clean with water | Requires annual penetrative sealing | Periodic specialized resin cleansers |
