Novastone is Granite Gallery's premium sintered surface range — sintered stone slabs distributed exclusively by Granite Gallery in South Africa. Novastone surfaces are scratch resistant, stain resistant, heat resistant, and non-porous so they require no sealing.

What is engineered surface or sintered stone?

Sintered surface is created by compressing natural minerals under extreme heat and pressure, mimicking how natural stone forms in the earth. The result is a dense, non-porous slab that is harder than granite, heat-resistant and stain-resistant — ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, vanities, fireplaces and feature walls.

What sizes does Novastone come in?

Novastone is available in two formats: standard 1200×2400mm slabs in 9mm thickness, and large format 1600×3200mm slabs in 12mm thickness. The large format is ideal for seamless countertops, full-height splashbacks and cladding without visible joins.

How many Novastone colours are available?

There are 24 Novastone colours currently available in South Africa, ranging from pure whites and blacks through to bold blues, greens, purples and marble-look patterns like Calacatta Oro and New Carrara White.

Does Novastone need to be sealed?

No. Novastone is non-porous and does not require sealing. Daily cleaning with mild soap and warm water is all that is needed to maintain the surface.

Can Novastone be used outdoors?

Novastone is UV-stable and frost-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor kitchens, exterior cladding and braai surrounds. Please confirm your specific application with Granite Gallery before installation.
