Our Story

About Us

The look and feel of natural stone, but so much more durable and easier to maintain.

SilkSurface has been trusted by Australian homeowners for over 12 years, offering proven results and reliability. Many quick-to-market products have emerged to replace Engineered Stone, after its decline due to dangerously high silica content. Unlike these, SilkSurface is a safe and tested alternative that still delivers the natural stone look Australians love.

By perfecting a manufacturing technique, SilkSurface creates the look and durability we want in our homes but uses safe materials to do so. A blend of bauxite (aluminium hydroxide) and a modified acrylic, each SilkSurface sheet is formed under 400 tons of pressure before being diamond polished to create its hard and durable surface.

While SilkSurface is tough, it is still very efficient for your installer to fabricate. It can be cut, sanded and polished exactly like timber. This means should you scratch or damage your benchtop, unlike natural stone, you can easily repair it in place. Our SilkSurface Care Kit has everything you need to polish your benchtop to its original shine.
