essastone
™
essastone is a remarkably
durable and virtually
maintenance free quartz
surface material created with
the latest engineering
technology. A meticulously
designed colour palette
ensures that essastone is
naturally at home in the most
discerning kitchens, bathrooms
and commercial interiors.
PRODUCT APPLICATIONS
essastone can be used for kitchen and
vanity benchtops, splashbacks, furniture
components, internal cladding, wet area
partitioning, flooring and stairwells.
Note:
When used for splashback
applications, the installation must
conform to the minimum Australian
and New Zealand Standards for
installation behind gas cook tops, for
clearances in relation to appliances
generating heat. Please refer to
AS 5601 Gas installations and
AS NZS 4386.2 Domestic kitchen
assemblies – Installation.
essastone is suitable for most interior
applications. Exposure to direct sunlight
for extended periods can cause colour
fading.Therefore, it is not recommended
for use in exterior applications where it
is exposed to direct sunlight.
