What is CaesarStone?
 CaesarStone® is the original quartz-based
engineered stone primarily used for kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities.
CaesarStone is 93% crushed quartz, one of nature's hardest minerals. The quartz
is combined with high-quality polymer resins and pigments and then compacted
under intense vibration, vacuum, and pressure into dense, non-porous slabs. The
slabs are post cured, gauged to precise thickness, and polished to an enduring
shine.
Although long used for the finest residential countertops, CaesarStone is now
offered as an attractive and versatile finish for commercial and institutional
buildings. Our quartz surfacing is tough enough for the wear and tear on just
about any interior surface, and beautiful enough for every architectural and
decorating scheme.

The CaesarStone Advantage
CaesarStone offers numerous advantages over natural stone.
Stronger, more durable, cleaner, safer, and more consistent — it's the

performance, CaesarStone has greater consistency than natural stone which is
