Stain Resistant

The non-porous nature of Staron makes it easy to keep clean.

• The non-porous nature of Staron means that no stain is ever permanent, providing a durable surface that is hygienic and easy to clean.
• Wine, tea, coffee and the usual concerning suspects for some benchtops do not absorb into Staron. In addition, Staron is not affected by water damage like some materials can be.
• Some products don’t cope well with too much cleaning and can start to look tired and worn in time, while Staron is getting renewed with every wipe. After years of use, it can simply be re-sanded and restored back to its original condition.

Tile coves, splashbacks and sinks

The seamless joining system of Staron allows for fully integrated coves & splashbacks

The unique properties of solid surfaces deliver a high strength join that is chemically bonded, two pieces can become one. This joining method achieves inconspicuous joins that eliminate dirt-trapping crevices.

Sinks: Eliminate mould and silicon in your application with an addition from our collection of integrated sinks.

Tile cove: Eliminate silicon from the back of the benchtop with a 10mm tile cove return. Your selected splashback will sit up off the benchtop for a maintenance free corner.

Splashbacks: extend your Staron benchtop beyond the tile cove for a fully integrated benchtop and splashback solution. The ultimate in an easy maintenances and hygienic design outcome.

Shelves and window sills: Staron offers complete design flexibility and is an excellent surface for other areas; flow to shelves and window sills for the ultimate easy clean option.

Integrated drainers & Heat rods

Staron can be easily routed for the addition of custom drainers and heat rods.

Staron sinks are seamlessly integrated into the benchtop and if required a drainer can easily be routed into the surface

Anti-drip edge: Another design feature is the inclusion of an integrated anti-drip edge for applications that require an extra barrier against water spills. This is a common design feature within laboratories and the marine industry; it is a great addition for many other projects.

Endless Edge Profile Options

Staron offers the design flexibility and freedom to customise your benchtop.

• The homogeneous nature of Staron paired with inconspicuous joining capabilities gives superior flexibility to design custom contours.
• Personalise edge profiles or flow from benchtop to cabinetry, the added benefit of forming curves with Staron achieves further design creativity.

Exterior applications

Staron has excellent UV stability allowing it to flow to the outdoors.

• Staron offers a selection of colours that can be used in exterior spaces allowing for indoor applications to flow to the patio and other outdoor areas.
• Refer to the Staron outdoor rating for available colours and discuss outdoor projects with one of the Austaron Surfaces team.

Repurpose waste & upcycling.

A little bit of Staron goes a long way.

Those that are familiar with solid surface know how even the smallest amount of material can be used to make something useful. Bread boards, serving platters, fruit bowls, pens, knife handles and lazy susans are just some of the great products that have been manufactured from our off cuts.

In 2022, LOTTE Chemical unveiled ‘Green Promise 2030’, an ESG strategy that aligns with their new corporate vision of ‘Every Step for GREEN’. “We aim to achieve future-oriented value growth by taking the lead in sustainable future industries, contributing to the environment and society by pursuing carbon neutrality, eco-management, and social value creation based on circulation and coexistence”.

LOTTE Chemical specialises in chemical materials products and specialised material solution services. Their products and services cover a wide range of areas, including daily essentials such as polymers, basic chemicals, monomers, building and interior design materials. They also offer products for agriculture, industry, healthcare, vehicles, and cutting-edge new materials.

A value adding product, Staron is a repairable and renewable material. After years of use, it can be easily sanded and restored to its original condition.

Staron does not require any finishing polishes or sealers; it is the same solid material throughout its thickness.

Much like reclaimed timber, Staron can be repurposed to create new joinery, furniture, and various decorative and functional items. Its versatility offers infinite possibilities.

Staron has a long-life expectancy within projects; the ability to renew and repair means it should not be considered as a short-term “throwaway” item. 

In addition, at a project’s “end-of-life” Staron can be salvaged and re-designed to create new applications in the same way timber is able to be repurposed. An old kitchen benchtop can become a new outdoor kitchen, laundry benches, furniture items and more. 

This sustainable and adaptable nature positions Staron as a conscientious choice, aligning with contemporary environmental values while providing enduring functionality.
