Caesarstone
Description

Introducing Caesarstone Mineral™ The quality and designs that you know and love in a Crystalline Silica Free* and low silica formulation.

Since 1987 Caesarstone® has combined design creativity and expertise with beautiful, durable and unique surfaces. Now they are leading the way with sustainable, crystalline silica free surfaces.

Caesarstone Crystalline Silica Free surfaces are crafted from a unique blend of distinctive minerals and innovative materials, with the new range containing a minimum of 80% recycled content (such as glass). Using cutting edge technology, the new blend adheres to Caesarstone’s highest quality and fabrication standards.

Testing completed by fabricators in New Zealand has delivered pleasing results with fabricators saying the new Crystalline Silica Free surface performs exactly like the surfaces it is replacing, reporting no change in ease of cutting or wear and tear on their machines.

*May contain less than 1% crystalline silica, due to being manufactured on machinery that is also used to manufacture products with crystalline silica
