In creating interior spaces that enhance the wellbeing and experience of people, true responsible sourcing also considers the impact of materials and making.

Quantum Zero from WK Stone embodies the ultimate in aesthetic opulence, with an array of hues and stone characterisations that bring an elevated finish to residential and commercial spaces.
Because it is created from up to 90 percent premium recycled glass and resin, it’s crystalline-silica-free, which offers all the flexibility and sophistication of an engineered stone without the human health risks.
Quantum Zero is also crafted to withstand the rigours of everyday life, with a durable, low-maintenance and non-porous surface that retains the subtle gloss and tactile smoothness of stone over time. The stain and scratch-resistant quality is ideal for hard-working zones such as kitchen benchtops, splashbacks, bathrooms, laundries and entries, while 3D vein technology ensures the visual qualities remain distinct.

The wide format slabs available also liberate the design imagination for unique creative applications such as feature wall elements, skirtings or panels.
In considering the needs of builders, designers, home renovators and fitout specialists across Australia, WK Stone have developed a spectrum of hues and textural effects that range from a luxurious marble look through to polished concretes, sparkling limestones and intricate granites.
The collection is evolving to suit emerging trends, with nine new colours just launched that capture the spirit of natural stone in a sustainable, adaptable form.

The new release includes soft neutrals with a subtle lustre and lush whites with compelling golden veining. There is Ivory Perla, a sustainable interpretation of the Taj Mahal quartzite that brings five-star style to any space, and at the other, dramatic end of the spectrum, Viola Lusso, with deep purple movement that suggests the marbled halls of a royal palace.
The Designers, Premium and Luxury ranges now offer something to compliment any interior scheme, whether the look is dark and sumptuous, bright and vibrant, eclectic naturals or coastal glamour.
In the Builders Range, the new colours of Sundrift and Moonshore add to the suite of options for delivering contemporary commercial spaces that are polished and professional while also being robust for high traffic areas and communal zones.

In total, there are now 38 different colours and styles to select from, ensuring the beautiful appearance of stone can be adopted into spaces made for everyday living. Being free of crystalline silica also protects health in the indoor environment, including the health of those who install Quantum Zero and people who live and work in the space.
Each slab is crafted using precision technology to ensure consistency, strength and workability, with a selection of edge profiles available to suit individual project specifications. The quality of WK Stone products is also backed by a 10-year warranty, which demonstrates an exemplary level of customer care and confidence in the calibre of the products.
In this respect, Quantum Zero demonstrates that the use of recycled raw materials to create a premium product can achieve long-lived, glorious results while minimising waste, and aligning with values of stewardship and responsibility.
