About Staron Solid Surface
Staron Solid Surfaces® are not only attractive but also highly durable, making them a perfect fit for various applications in both the residential and commercial sectors. They serve as the ideal solution for benchtops and joinery, offering seamless surfaces with no open joins. By eliminating dirt-trapping crevices, these surfaces can extend seamlessly into integrated design details, including but not limited to Staron sinks and splashbacks.

As awareness grows among specifiers and end-users in the building industry about the harmfulness of products containing silica, sourcing silica-free products that are safe for those involved in manufacturing, installation, demolition, and disposal has become a top priority.

Manufactured from refined bauxite, impurities are removed to deliver a mineral that is free of silica. It is then blended with premium acrylic resin to deliver a high-quality solid surface.
Staron offers several advantages, including a non-porous, easily maintained, and seam-free hygienic surface. As a value-adding product, Staron is renewable and repairable, extending the life of applications and minimising landfill waste.

Staron Solid Surfaces is Group 1 Fire rated to AS5637.1(AUS) & Group 1s Fire Rated to C/VM2 (NZ) Australian certified under AS ISO 9705: Full scale room test.
