Less silicone. Fewer joins. Easier cleaning and maintenance. The real advantage of Staron is not simply how seamlessly it looks, but how seamlessly it works.
When comparing benchtop materials, it is easy to assume the differences come down to colour, appearance and price. However, not all surfaces offer the same design flexibility, particularly when it comes to seamless integration, hygiene and ongoing maintenance.
One of the greatest advantages of Staron® Solid Surfaces is its ability to create seamless joins between benchtops, splashbacks, sinks and other design elements. Unlike many conventional materials that rely on visible joins and silicone at junctions, Staron can be fabricated to create continuous surfaces that minimise areas where dirt, moisture and grime can accumulate.
A fully integrated Staron splashback offers the ultimate seamless solution. The benchtop and splashback can be joined as one continuous surface, incorporating a smooth coved transition that eliminates the need for silicone at the junction. With no grout lines, silicone or dirt-trapping edges, everyday cleaning becomes considerably easier. This seamless design can also extend to windowsills, shelving and adjoining surfaces, providing greater flexibility throughout the kitchen.
For those looking to incorporate alternative splashback materials, such as tiles or glass, Staron still offers a practical solution to minimise maintenance concerns.
Traditionally, these materials sit directly on the benchtop, with silicone used to seal the junction. Over time, silicone can become discoloured, attract grime or deteriorate, potentially allowing moisture to penetrate.
Staron offers an alternative through the incorporation of a 10mm integrated cove at the rear of the benchtop. This small design detail lifts the splashback material away from the working surface, relocating the silicone junction above the bench rather than directly onto it.
The result is a cleaner, more streamlined finish that reduces grime accumulation and makes everyday cleaning easier.
Extending seamless integration to the sink, the junction between a benchtop and sink is another area where moisture, food residue and grime can accumulate. Traditional drop-in sinks introduce a raised rim, while many undermount sinks require sealant at the benchtop junction.
Staron integrated sinks eliminate these conventional junctions by seamlessly joining the sink to the benchtop, creating a smooth, continuous surface that is easier to clean and maintain.
Staron is easy to clean, simple to maintain and designed to last, beyond its seamless design flexibility, Staron’s non-porous composition makes everyday cleaning simple, with no sealing required. The surface is also repairable and renewable, allowing scratches and everyday wear to be addressed through refinishing.
By considering these design details from the outset, Staron provides a practical, low-maintenance solution that reduces areas where grime can accumulate while delivering a clean, cohesive finish.
