What is sintered stone?

Sintered stone is a surface material made by pressing natural minerals under high heat and pressure into large, dense slabs. It is most often used for countertops, wall cladding, flooring and facades.

What sizes, thicknesses and finishes are available?

Slabs range from 600×1200 mm to 1600×3200 mm, in thicknesses from 3 to 20 mm. Finishes include glossy, matte, textured, velvet, soft-polished and dry-granule effects. Not every finish is available in every design; availability is confirmed per order.

What can sintered stone slabs be used for?

The main uses are kitchen and bathroom countertops, wall cladding, flooring and facades. The full catalog can be filtered by size, thickness and finish.

How do sample boards work?

Sample boards are free of charge; express delivery is paid by the recipient on delivery. Request them through the Get a Quote form or by emailing [email protected], and tell us which designs you want to see.

How long does an order take?

Lead time is typically 15–25 working days after deposit. The exact lead time is confirmed per order, once designs and quantities are fixed.

How do quotations and payment work?

We prepare a written quotation for the designs and quantities you request, and it is valid for 30 days. Payment terms are set out in the written quotation. Freight is confirmed at booking.

How does shipping work?

We arrange export shipment from China. Under FOB/CIF terms, the buyer's forwarder clears customs and collects the goods at the destination port. DDP is available as an optional extra on request, not as standard.

What should I do when slabs arrive?

Inspect the slabs on arrival and raise any claim within 7 days of arrival. Slabs are packed to arrive intact, and we provide claim support if anything arrives damaged or incorrect.

Who can buy from FosBuild?

We welcome enquiries worldwide from importers, wholesalers, distributors, fabricators and project buyers. If you are unsure whether a design suits your project, send the application and sizes and we will confirm availability.

How do I contact FosBuild?

Email [email protected] or use the Get a Quote form on this site. We are based in Foshan, Guangdong, China, and our working hours are Monday to Saturday, 9:00–19:00 (GMT+8).

Do you offer full-body sintered stone slabs?

No, we do not currently stock full-body slabs. Our slabs are surface-printed, and cut edges are finished by our long-term Foshan partner processing centre using high-precision CNC waterjet cutting, 45° mitred joints, and colour-matched epoxy repair and polishing, so the finished edge matches the surface.

Can the edges be made to look like solid stone?

Yes. Edges are joined at 45° and bonded with colour-matched epoxy, then polished, which gives a thick, monolithic look without a visible joint line.

Can I order small quantities or mix designs in one container?

Yes. Small batches are supported, and mixed loading is available, so different designs and sizes can be combined in one shipment, by FCL or LCL. Exact quantities and combinations are confirmed per written quotation.

How is quality checked before shipment? Can I arrange third-party inspection?

Every shipment is fully inspected internally before dispatch. Third-party inspection can also be arranged, with inspection reports provided. If anything arrives damaged or incorrect, raise a claim with photos within the inspection window stated in your quotation.
