Pricing & Quality

To assist you making your choice, Smartstone surfaces fall into one of five price categories. It’s important to note that all Smartstone products are of equal quality; the five pricing points reflect the complexity of the pattern, raw materials used and how advanced the manufacturing process is for that particular surface. The price range does not in any way reflect the quality of the surface. The price categories are colour coded as follows:

Essentials – Blue – a range of beautiful quartz surfaces at our most affordable price point.
Premium – Orange – a collection offering refined grain and natural looking patterns.
Premium Plus – Red – a classic range of timeless surfaces representing beauty, quality and value.
Luxury – Green – luxurious surfaces range featuring the most natural looking veined collection from Spain.
Exclusive – Gold – dramatic and stunning stone surfaces with distinctive veining.

Disclaimer: Smartstone is a natural product and therefore some variations in colour and pattern may occur. Small inclusions in the product such as small particles and blotches are within acceptable standards. The brochure should be used as a guide and final selection made from actual samples.

The Smartstone Naturale Collection finish requires more maintenance than Smartstone polished surfaces. This is a characteristic of the type of surface finish and marks such as smudges, fingerprints, and other superficial marking, can be removed with little effort using the same cleaning methods as with polished Smartstone surfaces.
