Known for its refined appearance, durability and design flexibility, HI-MACS® offers a sophisticated alternative to engineered stone and laminate surfaces.

Non-porous, hygienic and repairable, HI-MACS® allows for seamless benchtops, integrated sinks and minimal joins, creating a cleaner and more cohesive aesthetic across contemporary interior spaces. Its silica-free composition has also made it an increasingly popular choice for homeowners, designers and architects seeking a modern alternative to traditional engineered stone.

Available in a wide range of colours and finishes, HI-MACS® can also be thermoformed into curved surfaces and custom architectural detailing, offering exceptional flexibility for both residential and commercial applications.

Why Choose a Silica-Free Benchtop?

As awareness around crystalline silica exposure continues to grow within the construction and interior industries, many homeowners, designers and architects across New Zealand are now seeking silica-free benchtop alternatives that prioritise both design and long-term material performance. HI-MACS® acrylic solid surface offers a premium silica-free solution for contemporary kitchens, bathrooms and architectural interiors.

Unlike many traditional engineered stone surfaces, HI-MACS® is manufactured as an acrylic solid surface material, allowing for seamless joins, integrated sinks and refined detailing that create a softer and more cohesive aesthetic throughout the space. The seamless nature of the material makes it particularly well suited to minimalist kitchens, curved surfaces and custom architectural applications where continuity and clean detailing are important.

HI-MACS® is also non-porous, meaning the surface does not absorb moisture under normal use. This makes it hygienic, easy to maintain and well suited to kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and commercial environments where durability and cleanliness are important considerations.
