Solid surfacing materials such as Staron are celebrated for their fluid design aesthetic, enabling designers to create innovative, one-of-a-kind applications that elevate the look and feel of commercial and public environments. In high-traffic areas, durability is key, and Staron excels in this aspect. Its robust and non-porous nature makes it highly resistant to wear and tear, while its hygienic properties make it an ideal choice for environments that prioritise easy cleaning surfaces. Staron’s ability to be seamlessly joined allows for the creation of expansive countertops with no visible seams, further enhancing its sleek, modern appeal.

This application at the Townsville Museum captures interest with its varied interconnected layers and contours and offers different visuals from many perspectives around the space. Another example of Staron’s versatility, contributing to a dynamic yet cohesive interior. Its fluid form also enables strategic design that supports traffic flow to key areas, blending form with function in a seamless, balanced way. Created using Staron in Sanded Dover, the colour is crisp and offers a hint of grey. The non-porous properties of Staron make is possible to incorporate light colours for benchtops and other joinery within high traffic environments.

With the emphasis on sustainability, building design is increasingly focusing on eco-friendly criteria. Another key feature and benefit of Staron is its ability to be sanded and refreshed on-site, extending its lifespan and reducing the need for replacement materials. In fact, any wear or damages can be easily repaired, ensuring that Staron Solid Surfaces maintain their like-new appearance for years to come.
