How to specify
Restaurants attack stone with wine, citrus, hot pans and nightly deep cleaning. The winning materials are non-porous or acid-tolerant; polished calcium-based stone loses here, every time.
Recommended materials & thickness
| Material | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Sintered Stone | 12 mm | Tabletops: non-porous, resists wine, citrus and hot pans; matte finish hides ring marks. |
| Granite | 20 mm | Bar tops and service counters — takes abuse and reseals cheaply. |
| Tiles | 600×600 mm / 9 mm | Dining floors in R10 textured finishes; rectified edges keep the grid clean. |
| Quartzite | 20 mm | When the client insists on a marble look that survives the kitchen. |
Design & installation notes
- Specify matte everywhere — polished bar tops reflect downlights and show every glass ring.
- Use a 20 mm radius on tabletop corners: safer for guests, far more chip-resistant.
- Order ~5% spare tops; a replacement four years later must still match.
Care
- Sintered stone and porcelain need no sealing; granite bar tops twice a year.
