The demanding and high traffic environments of retail fit-outs need a surface that is durable, hard wearing, renewable and non-porous – which is where Staron comes in.
Staron Solid Surfaces meets all criteria to create projects that look great whether it’s day one, or day one thousand. For years to come, the surfaces will look like they did the day they were installed. Inconspicuous joins make cleaning easy with no dirt trapping crevices, unachievable with many other materials. The non-porous nature also ensures that no stain is ever permanent.
When designing bench tops or surfaces, the flexible design of Staron lets your create any manner of shapes – for the kitchen, retail space, designer bathroom and more. Through thermoforming Staron, curves and shapes of all designs can be created and fit to the space, allowing it to be formed and sculpted into almost concept. The transparency of selected colours means that Staron can also be illuminated by backlighting for a creative and visually arresting impact. Create unique designs by etching a brand or logo into the Staron material and backlighting to illuminate it.
Due to the non-porous and repairable properties of Staron, it also serves as a hygienic solution for toilet partitions and vanities in shopping centres. Create service counters, baby change countertops, seating, wall panels, furniture pieces, display cabinets, table tops, feature shop fit-outs, shelving and even creative sculptures. An inspired graphics expert might inlay multiple colours of Staron to create corporate logos or colours – the possibilities are endless.
