The stone industry is witnessing a monumental shift in response to heightened safety standards. With the Australian Government's ban on crystalline silica in engineered stone benchtops taking effect from 1 July 2024, a new era of safety, sustainability, and innovation is upon us. Zero silica engineered stone redefines what homeowners can expect from a kitchen or bathroom renovation. Let's explore why this groundbreaking product is more than just a regulatory compliance step; it’s a transformative solution for Australian homes.

Prioritising Safety for Your Home and Workers

Silica dust has been linked to serious health issues, including the deadly lung disease silicosis, which is why the government’s ban is such a vital step forward for both the industry and community health. Safety is not just about adhering to standards; it’s about ensuring every aspect of your renovation is safe for everyone involved—from the homeowners to the expert installers.

The absence of crystalline silica means reduced health risks for workers who cut, polish, and install the stone, and it offers peace of mind for homeowners worried about the long-term health implications of traditional materials. By investing in zero silica stone, you’re contributing to safer work environments and making a socially responsible choice.

Innovation Through Australian-Made Excellence

Zero crystalline silica engineered stone represents a significant advancement in home renovations. Manufactured right here in Australia, it supports local industries and ensures top-tier quality control. This local production not only contributes to the Australian economy but also reduces the carbon footprint typically associated with imported building materials.

Zero silica engineered stone is crafted to meet the unique needs of Australian homes. It offers all the versatility and beauty you'd expect from natural stone but without the risks associated with crystalline silica. Whether you're planning a kitchen benchtop, bathroom vanity, splashback, floors, walls, furniture, or even stairs, this innovative product provides an option that’s safe, durable, and designed for the Australian lifestyle.

Durability and Beauty Without Compromise

One of the most compelling reasons to choose zero silica engineered stone is that there’s no need to compromise on aesthetics or durability. The product retains the stunning, natural look of stone while offering outstanding resilience. It is designed to withstand the everyday demands of busy households, including heat, stains, and heavy usage, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.

Available in a wide range of colours and finishes, zero silica stone can easily match a variety of design aesthetics—whether you’re after a sleek, modern look or a classic, timeless feel. Its thin profile and lightweight structure also mean that it can be applied directly over existing surfaces, offering a more efficient, less disruptive renovation process.

Sustainability: Built for a Greener Future

The zero silica engineered stone is a testament to the commitment to creating environmentally-friendly products. The stone's thin yet durable design means fewer raw materials are used, and less waste is generated during installation compared to traditional stone materials.

By reducing the thickness without compromising on strength, resource usage is minimised, and transportation becomes more efficient, lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, all stone surfaces are crafted using a significant proportion of recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable future for the planet.
