Can Caesarstone® withstand heat?

Caesarstone is heat resistant, however like all stone materials, Caesarstone can be damaged by sudden and rapid surface temperature changes. A good rule of thumb is that if your hand cannot tolerate the level of heat for more than a few seconds then the heat source is too high. Do not put hot cookware directly on the Caesarstone® surface. Therefore, we always recommend placing hot pots, oven trays and fry pans directly from the oven or hot plate onto a wooden chopping board or heat trivet. We also recommend that electric fry pans and slow cookers are also used on a wooden chopping board. Caesarstone's cleaning product range can be purchased from your local fabricator or Laminex New Zealand on 0800 303 606.

Can I stand on my Caesarstone® benchtop?

Always refrain from placing excessive weight on your Caesarstone benchtop. Excessive weight can also have an impact on the underlying cabinet structure.

Do I need to apply a sealer to Caesarstone® quartz surfaces?

No. Caesarstone quartz surfaces are virtually non-porous, and you will never have to use a sealer or any other kind of wax.

How durable is Caesarstone®?

Caesarstone is resistant to all kinds of cracks, chips, scratches, and stains. However, like most materials, excessive force, high point loads, pressure or heat may cause damage to the surface. Like all surface materials, Caesarstone should be treated with care.

Can I cut on my Caesarstone® benchtop?

Caesarstone is composed of up to 93% natural quartz, providing it with superior hardness and strength. We always recommend using a cutting board to prevent damage to the surface or dulling the knives.

Do I need to polish my Caesarstone® benchtop?

Caesarstone surfaces come factory polished to a high lustre, with the exception of our special Concrete finish. Due to Caesarstone’s high density and non-porous qualities, normal cleaning with a damp cloth will keep your Caesarstone surface looking like the first day it was installed. To avoid dulling the surface's shine, make sure to use a non-abrasive cleaner such as Caesarstone Cream Cleanser or for further detailed information on cleaning, refer to the Care & Maintenance page.

Do the Caesarstone® Concrete Finish designs require extra maintenance?

The Caesarstone Concrete Finish designs are just as stain and scratch resistant as our polished surfaces. However the Concrete matte finish doesn't disguise marks as well as the polished designs, meaning more regular cleaning maybe required using Caesarstone Cream Cleanser and Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Foam Scrubber to provide a thorough all over surface clean. Importantly, thoroughly rinsing off the Cream Cleanser off after cleaning. It's extremely important that a Caesarstone Concrete benchtop is only ever wiped down using a clean cloth solely for that purpose. Don’t use a cloth used to wash dishes as it may impart oils and other contaminants to the concrete finish surface. Caesarstone's cleaning product range can be purchased from your local fabricator or Laminex New Zealand on 0800 303 606.

How do I clean my Caesarstone® benchtop?

Caesarstone surfaces require very little maintenance to keep them looking like new. For everyday, routine cleaning of Caesarstone, we recommend wiping the surface with warm soapy water (a mild detergent) and a clean damp cloth. Do not use the cloth you use to wash the dishes, as it may transfer oils and other contaminants to the Caesarstone® surface. As Caesarstone is virtually non-porous, it will keep its lustrous gloss and ultra-smooth surface which never needs polishing or sealing. Never attempt to polish the surface and avoid prolonged rubbing in one spot when cleaning. To give your Caesarstone surface a thorough clean or for removal of extra stubborn marks or spills, we recommend using Caesarstone Cream Cleanser and a Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Foam Scrubber which can be used without damaging the stone. We suggest using this cleaning process regularly depending on the amount of traffic, use and surface application. For further detailed information, visit Care & Maintenance . Caesarstone's cleaning product range can be purchased from your local fabricator or Laminex New Zealand on 0800 303 606.
