Ascale is the perfect choice for homeowners and interior designers looking for cutting-edge Spanish design combined with the indestructible performance of sintered stone.
Drawing on over half a century of ceramic and architectural expertise from Tau Cerámica, Ascale excels in producing highly realistic, elegant finishes. Their European design team meticulously recreates the depth and texture of the world's finest natural marbles and industrial cements.
Because Ascale slabs contain absolutely no polymer resins, they are entirely impervious to thermal shock. You can safely place boiling saucepans, hot baking trays and slow cookers directly onto the surface without causing scorch marks or structural damage.
Ascale is renowned for manufacturing slabs in various thicknesses. While we use their robust 12mm and 20mm slabs for high-traffic worktops, they also produce ultra-thin slabs perfectly suited for seamless, matching splashbacks and even kitchen cabinet door cladding.
The pure mineral composition ensures Ascale is completely UV stable. The rich colours and intricate veining will never fade or yellow in direct sunlight, making it the premier choice for luxury outdoor barbecue areas and alfresco dining spaces.
The immense pressure used during the Ascale sintering process ensures the final slab has absolute zero porosity. Liquids, oils and bacteria simply cannot penetrate the surface. It is exceptionally forgiving in a high-traffic kitchen, naturally repelling stubborn stains from red wine, cooking oils and concentrated lemon juice. Furthermore, Ascale requires absolutely zero chemical sealing or specialist waxing to maintain its beautiful factory finish. A simple wipe with standard household cleaners is all that is required.
| Feature | Ascale (Sintered Stone) | Premium Quartz |
|---|---|---|
| Heat Resistance | Extreme (Direct pan contact safe) | Moderate (Trivet strictly required) |
| Outdoor Use | Yes (100% UV stable) | No (Resins will discolour) |
| Porosity | Zero (Completely stain resistant) | Zero (Completely stain resistant) |
| Brand Heritage | Backed by Tau Cerámica (Spain) | Variable depending on brand |
Ascale surfaces are designed and manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities in Castellón, Spain. They utilise pioneering compaction and firing techniques to produce slabs that meet the highest European standards for architectural quality and environmental sustainability.
Yes, Ascale is exceptionally hard and highly resistant to deep scratching from everyday kitchen use. It easily handles the demands of a busy family home. However, to protect the lifespan of your kitchen knives, we always recommend using a standard chopping board for food preparation.
Because Ascale produces their stunning designs in much thinner, lighter formats alongside their standard worktop thicknesses, our Stevenage stonemasons can easily fabricate matching, full-height splashbacks. This creates a spectacular, seamless look that flows continuously from your worktop up the wall without adding unnecessary weight to your kitchen structure.
