Frequently Asked Questions

Modern, durable, and safe for residential & commercial surfaces.
What is Ultracera®?

Ultracera® is a next-generation, zero-crystalline-silica surface crafted from refined synthetic white clay and a matured resin system. Developed through a long-term mineral maturation process, Ultracera blends the beauty of natural stone with the safety, consistency, and durability of advanced engineering — a new category beyond quartz and porcelain.

Quartz surfaces are made from natural quartz crystals bound with resin. Ultracera, however, is engineered from refined Bio-Terra® clay minerals containing less than 1% crystalline silica. Both are pressed and cured under heat, but Ultracera’s matured structure offers a denser body, a softer touch, and a safer fabrication experience free from harmful silica dust.
Sintered stone is fired at extremely high temperatures, fusing minerals like clay and silica into a porcelain-like surface. Ultracera matures its minerals and resin through chemical integration rather than firing — producing a jade-like warmth and enhanced flexibility for cutting, edging, and installation. Sintered stone is fired. Ultracera is matured. Each is engineered differently for different design needs.
Every Ultracera slab is composed of refined Bio-Terra® clay minerals, matured resin binders, pigments, and decorative elements —all pressed and cured at 105–110°C for over 120 minutes. The result is a solid, non-porous, high-performance claystone body with consistent quality and long-term stability.

Yes. Ultracera uses a stable, cobalt-free, matured resin system that reduces internal stress and enhances surface density. This gives each slab a warm, natural feel and excellent dimensional stability compared to traditional resin-based materials.

Ultracera has been dry-heat tested to 180–200°C. Short, incidental contact with hot cookware is acceptable, but for best practice and longevity, use trivets or mats — just as you would with any premium surface.
You can request free Ultracera samples through our website or contact your local distributor or fabricator. Samples let you experience the unique warmth, texture, and color tone of Ultracera before final selection.
Yes. Ultracera can be fabricated with standard quartz tools and CNC equipment, but it produces much lower dust and smoother cutting. Always follow standard safety procedures and consult our fabrication guide for best practices.
Is Ultracera scratch and stain resistant?
Yes. Ultracera’s dense, non-porous surface offers high resistance to everyday scratches, stains, and household chemicals. For daily use, always use a cutting board and clean spills promptly with mild detergent and water.
No. Ultracera is completely non-porous — you will never need to seal, wax, or polish it. The surface maintains its original beauty with minimal maintenance.
Only Ultracera Pro colors are designed for outdoor use. They are formulated with UV-resistant resins and outdoor-grade pigments to ensure long-lasting color stability. Standard indoor colors should be used indoors only.

Ultracera currently offers four finishes:
•           Polished – glossy and reflective
•           Semi-polished – subtle sheen with softer reflection
•           Honed – smooth matte look
•           Leathered – tactile, stone-like texture
Availability depends on color; please confirm with your Ultracera sales consultant.

Ultracera slabs are produced in 2 cm and 3 cm thicknesses with body-through veining that allows a wide range of edge profiles, including Arris, Bullnose, Shark Nose, and Splayed.
Absolutely. Ultracera is non-toxic, food-safe, and compliant with international hygiene standards. Its non-porous surface prevents bacteria, mold, and chemical absorption, making it ideal for kitchens and hospitality spaces.
Simply wipe with warm water, mild detergent, and a soft cloth. Avoid strong solvents or abrasive pads. Ultracera’s non-porous body keeps maintenance easy — no special cleaners required.
Yes. Ultracera provides a lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal residential and commercial use. Please refer to our warranty section for full details.
