Silica free — Sydney

Silica free engineered stone in Sydney

The look of marble and calacatta, manufactured without crystalline silica, and available to fabricate and install under Australia's current rules.

  • Silica free range
  • Manufacturer documentation available
  • Condell Park showroom
  • Full slabs on the floor

Australia's 2024 ban on engineered stone containing crystalline silica changed what can be fabricated and installed here. Silica free engineered surfaces were developed in response: the same consistency, hardness and low maintenance that made engineered stone popular, without the silica content that caused the problem. Our full engineered range is supplied as a silica free product, and we will provide the manufacturer's documentation for any colour you are considering.

Why people choose silica free engineered stone

It answers the question natural stone cannot: how do I get this look without the maintenance?

  • Non-porous, so no sealing and no resealing.
  • Highly stain and scratch resistant compared with marble.
  • Consistent pattern, so multi-slab kitchens match.
  • Calacatta, Carrara and veined looks across polished and honed finishes.
  • Fabricable and installable under Australia's post-2024 engineered stone rules.

Where it works

Kitchen benchtops, islands and splashbacks; bathroom vanities and laundry tops; commercial counters and high-traffic surfaces. It is an indoor product — check the manufacturer's rating before using it in direct sun.

Honest limitations

Engineered patterns repeat by design, so a large island can show repetition that natural stone never would. It is heat resistant but not heatproof — hot pans still belong on a trivet. And while it is far more forgiving than marble, it is not indestructible.

What our clients say.

Amazing customer service and a beautiful stone selection. The team was honest, helpful, and easy to recommend.

Common questions.

Is engineered stone still legal in Australia?

Engineered stone containing crystalline silica was prohibited from 2024. Silica free engineered surfaces fall outside that prohibition, which is why the category exists. Our engineered range is supplied as a silica free product and we can provide manufacturer documentation for each colour.

How is silica free stone different from quartz?

Traditional quartz surfaces are heavily silica-based, which is what led to the restrictions. Silica free products are engineered from alternative mineral compositions to achieve a comparable surface without that silica content.

Does it need sealing?

No. It is non-porous. Warm soapy water or a non-abrasive spray is all it asks for. Avoid abrasive pads, oven cleaners and strong solvents.

Can I see the whole slab before ordering?

Yes, and you should. Come to the showroom in Condell Park, see the full slab, and put it into your room at scale in the visualiser before you commit.
