J. Rotherham installs the UK’s first dedicated Sintered stone production line
J. Rotherham, one of the oldest and most respected stone masonry companies in the United Kingdom, continues its advancement in technology by installing the UK’s first dedicated sintered stone production line.
Installed between November 2014 and June 2015, J. Rotherham’s investment includes a new Breton CNC saw, NC300 CNC router and a new 5 axis Breton Classica waterjet: the most precise machine available on the UK market. Designed specifically for cutting sintered stone slabs, the high pressure water jet creates a precise, clean cut like no other.
Due to the tensile strength of sintered stone, J. Rotherham’s new water jet method is especially valuable when mitring high quality worktops for built up edges or when specialist shaping is required. A worthy addition to its 17 acre state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Yorkshire, J. Rotherham’s integration of this production line is to primarily create increased capacity whilst achieving the best finish across the newly launched Lapitec and Neolith sintered stone worktops.
A revolutionary material manufactured by The Size in Spain, using state-of-the-art precision technology and premium raw components. The raw slabs are fabricated into bespoke worktops in J. Rotherham’s high-tech factory, completely automated to allow for consistently excellent standards, Neolith sintered stone is made from 100% natural materials. A highly innovative material for application in either the kitchen or bathroom, Neolith is a superior-quality, man-made designer stone that breaks new ground in terms of interior design.
The Neolith sintered stone worktop will give a luxury finish to any interior, and is seen here pictured in the Iron Corten finish.
J. Rotherham is also happy to introduce to its range of premium worktop materials, Lapitec. An outstanding man-made stone that brings exceptional quality to kitchens, bathrooms, Lapitec can even be used for external paving, cladding and also furniture design. Lapitec is also defined as ‘Sintered Stone’, developed using scientific principles and sophisticated, patented manufacturing techniques. Made up from 100% mineral components, Lapitec’s full-bodied composition allows for a completely uniform appearance, demonstrated perfectly in the Porfido Rosso Satin finish (Porphyry red satin), pictured above
Lapitec & Neolith sintered stone worktops:
- Lapitec – 23 finishes of sintered stone worktop
- Neolith – 20 finishes of sintered stone worktop
Matt Rotherham, Commercial Director of J. Rotherham explains “We are extremely excited to continue pushing the boundaries of surface design, especially now having these new stones to work with. Our world class workforce built up of four generations has given us a reputation for creating some of the most innovative worktop designs on the market, with Lapitec and Neolith being our latest and most technologically advanced.”
