Silica-Free Engineered Mineral Composite Surfaces*
A safer, future-ready alternative to traditional engineered stone.
We’re proud to introduce our range of silica-free engineered mineral composite surfaces, developed to deliver the strength, durability and visual appeal of traditional engineered stone while helping address the health concerns associated with crystalline silica exposure.*
Our mineral composite surfaces represent the next generation of engineered surfaces, combining innovative manufacturing techniques with recycled materials to provide a premium solution for today’s fabrication industry.
Why Silica-Free Matters
The industry has undergone significant change following increased awareness of the health risks associated with respirable crystalline silica (RCS) generated during the fabrication of traditional engineered stone.
Our mineral composite surfaces have been developed to help fabricators, installers and retailers embrace a safer, more sustainable future without compromising on quality, performance or design.
Key Benefits
- No detectable crystalline silica* in independent laboratory testing.
- Helps reduce the risks associated with respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust.
- Supports safer workshop fabrication alongside current UK HSE guidance and appropriate dust control measures.
- Premium durability and performance.
- Available in a growing range of contemporary colours and finishes.
- Manufactured using innovative and recycled materials.

Important Product Information
Silica-Free Surfaces*
A new generation of engineered mineral composite surface manufactured using innovative and recycled materials.
Independent laboratory testing has identified no detectable crystalline silica. Product composition is regularly assessed as part of our ongoing quality assurance programme. Individual production batches may contain trace levels of crystalline silica below 1%.
Although our mineral composite surfaces have been developed without detectable crystalline silica, appropriate fabrication controls should always be followed. Users should refer to the relevant Safety Data Sheet (SDS), carry out suitable COSHH assessments, and comply with current UK Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidance when machining any mineral-based surface.
