Surface Evolution

In light of the Australian Federal Government’s announcement to ban engineered stone containing crystalline silica from July 1 2024, we wanted to assure you of our ongoing commitment to safety, our dedication to customer service, as well as the continuous development of market-leading surfaces.

We understand this government decision has created some uncertainty. Our aim is to help inform everyone so you can feel confident with your choice of surface, now and into the future.

Firstly, no matter the Caesarstone® surface you have in your home, we can assure you it is completely safe. It is in the fabrication process where stonemasons, if not following correct safety procedures, can be exposed to fine crystalline silica particles.

In the transition period, from now until 1 July 2024 the sale and installation of mineral surfaces, including our extensive low silica range will continue. However, there are several matters that remain to be resolved by the Government, including clarification on existing contracts being installed after 1July 2024. It is also important to note that not all states and territories are aligned on the timings of the transition period. We will provide updates as soon as we get further information.

As part of our commitment to continuous innovation, we are implementing a plan to transition our current, market-leading design collection to a new crystalline silica-free formulation which will retain the same ease of fabrication and functional performance characteristics as current materials. This new material will launch in Australia in the first half of 2024.

In addition, Caesarstone® will introduce new designs into our Porcelain collection in the first half of 2024. Our Porcelain brings additional functional performance to kitchen benchtops as well as being UV resistant and suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Every Caesarstone® surface has a lifetime warranty, which is not impacted by these changes.
