Caesarstone is an attractive way of raising the value of your kitchen space. Premium, high-quality, and beautiful quartz surfaces look elegant in any space and work well with most interior decorations. Caesarstone is also scratch and stain-resistant- perfect for families with small children or pets. Because Caesarstone is manufactured from quartz and special resins, it comes in a variety of styles and colours, so you can ensure you get the product you desire.
Caesarstone, the manufacturer of high-quality quartz surfaces- was founded in 1987- near the Roman City of Caesarea. Caesarstone Australia was established in 2001 and has branches all over the country with an extensive distribution network.
Caesarstone is an exceptional surface for heat, chip, and stain resistance. The surfaces are constituted of up to 93% natural quartz aggregates, organic pigments, and enhanced polymer resins. Whilst perfect for benchtops, Caesarstone is also useful for splashbacks, bathroom vanities, wall panelling, and furniture.
Caesarstone Colours
Caesarstone comes in many colours and variations. Caesarstone benchtops can look really attractive in your kitchen, but choosing the right colouring is very important. The colours vary from pure white Caesarstone to grey, with veins of colour all the way down to jet black. Light-coloured Caesarstone benchtops can add the illusion of space to your kitchen area, so if your kitchen is small, opt for whites.
Darker Caesarstone can be elegant, but it’s always wise to speak to your interior designer for their opinion on the darker shades. A dark splashback or benchtop can work really well in some homes, whilst in others where light or space is a problem, it’s not as sightly.
Other colour variations include splashbacks or benchtops with veins of colour, adding an interesting element to otherwise plain and simple surfaces.
Cleaning Caesarstone
Cleaning Caesarstone is generally an easy affair, making it perfect for messy cooking, kids, and general day-to-day wear and tear. Soap and water or a mild detergent is all that is required to maintain its appeal. Common, non-abrasive household cleaning detergents will work just fine on the surface.
Price of Caesarstone
Generally, Caesarstone will cost you around $550 per square metre, plus the costs of installation. Because Caesarstone is sold in slabs, you can generally expect to be quoted this way.
There are four types of Caesarstone- Standard colours, Deluxe, Premium, and Super Natural. The pricing generally varies on popularity, so you’ll see the more e
