For beautiful, durable and practical finishes, look no further than the new surface range by the relaunched Smartstone Australia.
January 31st, 2011
Smartstone, a subsidiary of HVG (Halifax Vogel Group) has released its new range of engineered quartz surfaces for kitchen benchtops and splashbacks, vanity tops and bathroom walls, flooring and more.
“We are proud to offer what is simply the ultimate surface choice available today, and the most innovative,” said Smartstone Executive Chairman Kon Kalpou.
What makes Smartstone so unique? Smartstone engineered quartz replicates natural stone in its beauty while offering the durability and cost-effectiveness of quartz.

The Santorini Collection
The surfaces are easy to clean and resistant to impact, abrasion, scratching, chipping and cracking.
4 new Smartstone collections are now available, each offering exclusive colours and patterns to suit every style and taste.
“The pure, clean quality and absolute consistency of our surfaces can’t be found anywhere else; these colours are exclusive to Smartstone,” said Kalpou.
The Paris Collection features khaki greens and browns; the Toledo Collection is more earthy, with creams and beiges.
The Santorini Collection offers pure, clean whites, and the Milan Collection is made up of sleek black and greys.
The new collections by Smartstone truly are the benchmark in stone.
