The Hidden Hazard of Silica
Traditional stone benchtops often contain crystalline silica, a material that, when cut or drilled, releases fine dust particles into the air. Long-term exposure to silica dust can lead to silicosis, a potentially fatal lung disease affecting those who work with stone products.

At Platinum Homes, we prioritise health and safety - for both our clients and the industry professionals who bring our homes to life. That’s why we’ve chosen Kleenstone as a zero-silica alternative, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability in building.

The Kleenstone Difference

Kleenstone offers a range of engineered stone benchtops that are:

  • 100% silica-free – A safer alternative for both homeowners and fabricators.
  • Made from 85% recycled glass – A more sustainable building choice that reduces waste.
  • Durable and stylish – Designed to offer the same premium look and feel as traditional stone.
  • Backed by a 10-year warranty – Ensuring longevity and peace of mind.

By choosing zero-silica benchtops, you’re not only creating a healthier kitchen environment but also making a more sustainable choice for the future.

Why We Partnered with Kleenstone

At Platinum Homes, we believe that innovation should go hand in hand with quality craftsmanship, building more sustainably, and future-proof homes. Our commitment to safer, more sustainable homes is why we’re introducing zero-silica benchtops as an option in our builds.

The benefits of Kleenstone benchtops include:

  • Health & Safety: Reducing the risks associated with silica dust exposure.
  • Sustainability: Supporting environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.
  • Durability: A low-maintenance, long-lasting solution for modern homes.
