Decorative Surfaces Reimagined

Our new Zenith Surfaces range doesn’t just transform the world of surfaces—it sets a global benchmark for sustainable design. Launching as a replacement for our Stone Ambassador Engineered Stone collection, this innovative product responds directly to the Australian government’s groundbreaking ban on engineered stone products containing more than 1% crystalline silica. Implemented in July, this decisive measure aims to prevent silicosis, a debilitating lung disease linked to silica dust exposure, particularly affecting stonemasons and construction workers.

Pioneering Change

While some manufacturers viewed the ban as a termination point, Stone Ambassador embraced it as a pivotal opportunity for design evolution. This significant shift allows us to lead the industry forward through pioneering material innovation. Our unwavering commitment to worker health and safety establishes a new industry standard.

However, the innovation of Zenith Surfaces goes beyond its silica-free composition. This remarkable product achieves a crucial balance: a safe, compliant material that does not sacrifice the aesthetics or performance demanded by architects and designers. By replacing quartz with recycled glass, we’ve managed to retain the look, feel, durability, and performance that industry professionals have come to rely on.

Sustainability Meets Imagination

Zenith Surfaces features 40 available meticulously curated patterns across five unique ranges. Zenith Surfaces draws inspiration from nature’s raw beauty, offering a palette of luxurious marble-look designs, soft-touch matte surfaces, and organic colours, encapsulating the elegance of intricate patterns and breathtaking visuals.

The non-porous, durable, and resistant nature of these surfaces enhances their appeal, providing a hygienic and easy-to-clean solution that resists bacteria and mold. Coupled with Zenith Surfaces’ sustainable composition, crystalline silica-free formula, and a market-leading 10-year warranty, this collection emerges as the ultimate choice for design professionals aiming to create exquisite kitchens, bathrooms, bars, and more.

Zenith Surfaces represents more than mere compliance. This groundbreaking product epitomises our commitment to innovation, worker safety, design excellence, and environmental stewardship. It’s not just a design tool—it’s a catalyst for transformative change in the Australian design landscape. By choosing Zenith Surfaces, design professionals are making a powerful statement for a safer, more sustainable future for all.
