Neolith is a product manufactured from natural raw materials such as minerals, clays, feldspar, silica and natural oxides.
It is produced using sintering technology (technology that uses a laser to join layers of various materials and transform them into a single piece), which subjects the materials to high pressures and extreme temperatures (more than 1200 ºC). This causes the components to fuse, creating an ultra-compact, strong and durable material.
Neolith has gained popularity when installing it on a countertop compared to other materials for the following reasons:
Although Neolith is a highly valued material for kitchen countertops, it also has some disadvantages that are important to take into account before deciding to install it:
Material | Neolith | Granite | Marble | Quartz |
---|---|---|---|---|
Heat resistance | Very high | High | Average | Average |
Stain resistance | Very high (waterproof) | Medium (requires sealing) | Low | High |
Maintenance | Very low | Half | High | Low |
Aesthetic variety | Wide (natural imitation) | Natural limited | Natural limited | Wide |
Porosity | Zero | Porous | Porous | almost zero |
From Cocinas Plus , our evaluation of Neolith as a porcelain material for countertops is clear: it is a premium option that combines technological innovation, aesthetics and functionality , ideal for those seeking a balance between durability and contemporary design.
Neolith stands out for its extreme resistance to heat, scratches and stains, as well as its incomparable hygiene thanks to its zero porosity. Its wide range of finishes allows it to imitate natural materials such as marble, granite or wood, offering a sophisticated appearance with minimal maintenance. These qualities make it a long-term investment , especially in high-use kitchens where resistance and cleanliness are priorities.
However, it is not a material without challenges. The high initial cost and complexity of installation require careful planning and the intervention of experienced professionals . Likewise, its repair can be complicated if it is damaged.
Therefore, I would recommend the Neolith to customers who value quality, durability and aesthetics above all else, and who are willing to make a higher initial investment. It is an ideal material for modern, minimalist and functional projects where the aim is to create an elegant and practically indestructible countertop, ensuring a result that lasts over time with minimal maintenance.
