Sintered stone is a new material so unlike ceramic, or natural stone that it warrants its own category for building standards, which are now being developed in Europe. This course demonstrates that sintered stone has the workability of natural stone with the sustainability and performance of ceramic. This new material is durable to whatever threat may come, either by nature or humans. The course shows how sintered stone is used in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor applications from countertops to flooring, walls, cladding, and more.
