Description
Choosing the right kitchen worktop is one of the most important decisions in a Hong Kong renovation — it affects daily usability and long-term value. Traditional quartz stone offers good hardness but its resin content makes it vulnerable to prolonged high heat (common in Hong Kong stir-frying), potential discoloration or micro-cracking, visible seams that may discolor over time, and difficult repairs. It is also thicker and heavier, which can feel visually bulky in compact spaces. Tung Tai Hardware brings you Herma Stone sintered stone worktops (rock slab), created by Spanish architect Mr. Cristián Herma Leví. This premium material combines advanced high-temperature sintering technology with designs tailored for Hong Kong’s humid environment, solving these common pain points.
Herma Stone rock slabs are made from 100% natural minerals sintered at over 1200°C with no resin additives — eco-friendly, safe, and completely free of colour variation across the entire slab. Available in 12mm and 13.5mm thicknesses for worktops (with large 3050 x 1500mm slabs), they deliver exceptional strength despite being much thinner and lighter than traditional materials. The large-format design dramatically reduces seams, creating a clean, seamless, minimalist modern look that makes small Hong Kong kitchens feel more spacious and open. Superior heat resistance allows direct placement of hot pots and pans without damage — ideal for Hong Kong cooking styles.
Specifically engineered for Hong Kong’s humid climate, Herma Stone offers excellent mould and stain resistance with a low water-absorption, non-porous surface. Oil, sauces, and coffee stains wipe away easily with a soft cloth and neutral cleaner, keeping maintenance extremely low. The material suits both indoor and outdoor applications and works beautifully for kitchen worktops, islands, bar counters, and bathroom vanity tops.
Tung Tai Hardware provides complete professional service: free consultation and design advice, on-site precise measurement, custom fabrication with CNC cutting, professional installation, and reliable after-sales support. Every Herma Stone product comes with a 10-year quality guarantee and international certifications including NSF, CE, and ISO.

FAQQ1: What is the main difference between Herma Stone sintered stone and quartz?A: Sintered stone has no resin, zero colour variation, and far superior heat resistance for prolonged high-heat cooking. It is thinner and lighter, easier to work with in compact spaces, and requires even lower maintenance with better long-term colour stability.
Q2: Is Herma Stone rock slab worktop suitable for small Hong Kong kitchens?A: Yes — the ultra-thin large-format design minimises seams and visually expands the space while remaining extremely durable for high-usage Hong Kong households.
Q3: How do I maintain a Herma Stone sintered stone worktop?A: Maintenance is minimal. Daily cleaning with a soft cloth and neutral cleaner is sufficient. Avoid strong acids, alkalis, or abrasive cleaners. Stubborn stains can be treated with a dedicated cleaner. No waxing or special sealing is required thanks to its excellent mould and stain resistance.
