Staron Solid Surfaces Backstory

Staron® Solid Surfaces, the brand of Lotte Chemical’s premium solid surface provides advanced project solutions for interior design and architecture. Durable, non-porous, hygienic and seamless in design. From countertops to artistic features, Staron offers an abundance of design potential to the building industry.

What Does Staron Solid Surfaces Bring to the building Industry?

Developed in 1992, Staron is manufactured from refined bauxite, a safe silica-free mineral, and blended with pure acrylic resin. This combination results in a high-performing and safe solid surface.

Thanks to its non-porous nature, Staron is stain-resistant and easy to clean. It offers a durable, hygienic surface with high strength and UV stability. Plus, its inconspicuous joining method eliminates dirt-trapping crevices.

Staron can be easily thermoformed into graceful curves or moulded into any desired shape. Its design flexibility extends to limitless edge profiles, drop-down edges, splashbacks, and tile coves. This enables the creation of seamless, long, and wide surfaces with no visible joins, resulting in a continuous material that looks and performs as one piece.

Staron Solid Surfaces are Group 1 Fire rated to AS5637.1 (AUS) & Group 1S Fire rated to C/VM2 (NZ). Tested in Melbourne using the AS ISO 9705: full-scale room test.

The Advantages of Renewability

A value-adding product, Staron is a repairable and renewable material. After years of use, it can be easily sanded and restored to its original condition.

Staron does not require any finishing polishes or sealers; it is the same solid material throughout its thickness.

Much like reclaimed timber, Staron can be repurposed to create new joinery, furniture, and various decorative and functional items. Its versatility offers infinite possibilities.
