In the wake of Australia’s ban on engineered stone, consumers are turning their attention towards safer, more sustainable, and cost-effective alternatives for their new homes and renovation projects. Engineered stone, once lauded for its durability and aesthetic appeal, has come under scrutiny due to its association with health hazards, particularly concerning silica dust exposure. This regulatory shift has prompted a significant shift in consumer behaviour, leading to a growing demand for alternatives that prioritise safety, sustainability, and affordability.

Ahead of the competition, ForestOne has been leading the way in providing sustainable building solutions since its inception. Committed to responsible sourcing, their range focuses on beautiful timber and surface products that wherever possible are certified under either FSC® or RW/PEFC Chain of Custody (CoC) and includes cost-effective and safe alternatives to engineered stone.

MEGANITE

MEGANITE stands out as an acrylic solid surface that faithfully mimics the authentic look of real stones. Prioritizing the well-being of builders and end users alike, MEGANITE stands as a high-quality solid surface that is 100% free of crystalline-silica. As a responsible choice for residential use MEGANITE eliminates the potential hazards associated with the use of engineered stone.

Focusing on the solid surface offerings from ForestOne, MEGANITE showcases an array of materials for countertops and sinks that challenge conventional expectations for practical interior elements.
