Exclusive to Austaron Surfaces in Australia and New Zealand, Mario Romano Walls are created by an innovative manufacturing process, involving the latest in parametric computing and CNC machining technology. Offering a patented joining system, this routed design process is applied to Staron Solid Surface to create a multi dimensional surface with many application possibilities. 

Think of Mario Romano as large format tiles where each panel slips together in a similar manner to puzzle pieces.

Mario Romano Walls is manufactured using Staron Solid Surface. Refer to the Staron Solid Surface colour collections page to view all available options.

The panels can be directly siliconed to ply or plasterboard and require a flat unobstructed finished substrate. Applications over 3.6m high may require mechanical fixing.

Framed Mario Romano Walls example

It is best to build a lightbox using standard White Melamine HMR particleboard or White MR MDF, however this can vary depending on lighting, application and installation requirements.

LED strip lighting is best set at approx.125-150mm spacing, it is recommended LED Strip lighting is Installed in conjunction with aluminium profile/heat diffuser that can be fixed/rebated into the lightbox, allow for future access or replacement if needed.

1. Standard framed lightbox recommendation for 100mm overall depth. (ie. 16mm back panel, 70mm internal panel, 2mm Silicone and 12mm Staron Panel.
2. Fit outside end panels flush with the front of Mario Panels if desired or rebate side of box and slide Mario Romano panel within the side approx. 6mm.
3. Incorporate acrylic standoffs for support between the lights and at the join as in this picture, fix to panel with clear/translucent Silicone. (We supply 70mm standard height)
4. Fix panel around the perimeter with Silicone and hotmelt glue to assist with instant fix while silicone sets.
5. Finish joints where required with Staron adhesive, this needs to be done a small section at a time and a special adhesive applicator will be required.

Some smaller direct fix applications can easily be installed by a handy homeowner. You would require someone with experience for building back lighting options, we can liaise with your builder for install questions or offer installer recommendations where needed.

Complex and larger projects will be directed to one of our recommend installers.

There is no standard sheet size when working with Mario Romano Walls, with the latest CAD technology your selected design will be applied to fit to your required wall size. Your project will be created out of many pieces that slip inconspicuously together to create the selected design.

As the designs are created to suit your required finished size, you will not need to cut any panels, however Staron can be trimmed or scribed as required.

Yes, as Mario Romano walls are created using Staron you can apply to wet areas, your walls will still require waterproofing as per wet room installation requirements. The panels will be adhered with relevant flexible adhesive for bathroom applications and the addition of silicone between the joins during installation.

Yes, and as many of these applications can be small you most likely can work with the Staron Solid Surface sheet size and eliminate any joins.This will make for a very quick installation.

Sheet size; All Staron Solid Surface colours 3680mm  x 760mm
– additional Bright White sizes 930mm and 1520mm wide options, confirm availability.

Mario Romano Walls can be used on many exterior wall applications, the installation is the same as for interior and working with walls over 3.6 meters may require mechanical fixings.
