Safer, Smarter Kitchens: Our Partnership with Kleenstone

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.
