Kitchen & bathroom renovations are a big part of life in Joondalup. Many homes across Currambine, Kinross, Iluka & Edgewater are now old enough for a first major update, & the benchtop is usually the centrepiece. VITRUM Surfaces gives Joondalup homeowners a stone-look benchtop that is crystalline silica-free, stain resistant & backed by a 10-year limited warranty.
VITRUM is made from approximately 86% glass & 14% resin. It is non-porous, so it shrugs off coffee, wine & school-lunch spills, & polished surfaces never need sealing. Because it is classified as a glass product, it is not affected by Australia's engineered stone ban.
A practical benchtop for busy Joondalup family homes
Joondalup's suburbs are full of family homes with open-plan kitchens that work hard every day. VITRUM measures 9H on the pencil hardness scale, compared with around 6H for most other solid surfaces, so it stands up to everyday use. A chopping board & trivet are still recommended, but you will not need to worry about a red wine ring or a dropped spoon of turmeric.
Living close to the coast in Ocean Reef, Mullaloo or Iluka? VITRUM is designed for indoor use only. Prolonged UV exposure can fade the pigment, so we do not recommend it for outdoor kitchens or uncovered alfresco areas. For your indoor kitchen, butler's pantry, ensuite vanity or laundry, it is an ideal choice.
Crystalline silica-free benchtops for Joondalup
Since July 2024, engineered stone containing crystalline silica can no longer be made, supplied or installed in Australia. VITRUM was developed in response. It contains no crystalline silica, is classified as a glass product & is not part of the ban, so Joondalup homeowners, builders & stonemasons can specify it with confidence.

- Use a trivet for hot pans & a chopping board when using knives.
- VITRUM is for indoor use only. Prolonged UV exposure can fade the pigment, so it is not recommended outdoors.
