At Caesarstone®, we’re leading this transition by offering advanced, safe options that don’t compromise on quality or style.
As industry leaders, we see the future in innovative engineered stone replacements, like our Mineral Crystalline Silica-Free and Porcelain collections. These surfaces offer the same durability and beauty as traditional materials but with enhanced safety and environmental benefits, setting a new standard for modern benchtops in Australia.

Alternatively, our Porcelain surfaces bring a new level of versatility and resilience to surface solutions. Engineered to thrive in extreme conditions, they are ideal for both indoor benchtops and outdoor kitchen settings, effortlessly withstanding intense heat and harsh UV exposure.

Sustainably sourced Caesarstone® Porcelain is made from a blend of natural raw minerals and various mineral oxides. These mineral oxides allow for a wide variety of colours that mimic the appearance of natural stone. When fused at ultra-high temperatures and under intense pressure, we’re left with a high-performance, resilient surface material.
