Although quartz material is durable and weather resistant, Caesarstone’s regular surfaces are made with a resin that is relatively sensitive to UV. Standard engineered stone products are more likely to visibly change colour over time if affected by UV rays.

Unlike the standard Caesarstone product, the Caesarstone Outdoor Collection is warranted for outdoor usage and significant fading due to exposure to UV sunlight.

Like all products specifically designed for the Australian outdoors, the Caesarstone Outdoor Collection is subject to normal and expected deterioration resulting from exposure to environmental factors. This includes a slight degree of fading from UV rays over a long period of time which, it should be noted, significantly outperforms standard engineered stone results in this area.

We direct your attention to the Outdoor Collection Performance Guide in Relation to UV Resistance and to the terms in the Caesarstone Outdoor Collection warranty and in particular clause 1G. 

Caesarstone Outdoor surfaces are designed to withstand weather conditions across Australia and built for temperatures ranging from -25°C to 50°C. They endure seasonal outdoor conditions including UV irradiance, high temperatures, long water exposure, freezing conditions and more.

After conducting thorough testing to ensure consistent results, we have proven that there is minimal change in surface performance or appearance after years of exposure to all weather conditions.

No. Caesarstone is a non-porous surface, so you will never have to apply a sealer to any Caesarstone surface.

Yes. Caesarstone Outdoor can be used effectively indoors in areas such as benchtops, splashbacks, vanities and laundries. The performance characteristics are the same as standard Caesarstone engineered stone. The matte concrete finish of Caesarstone Outdoor also provides a lovely point of difference to many of the indoor colour options.

Caesarstone Outdoor is not recommended for flooring.
