Stone By Design Ltd is recognised as one of New Zealand’s leading stone fabricators, proudly multi award-winning for excellence in craftsmanship and design collaboration. For over two decades, we’ve partnered with designers, builders and homeowners to create exceptional stone benchtops and surfaces that elevate every space.
Our reputation is built on quality, reliability, and genuine passion. We bring designers’ concepts and homeowners’ dreams to life — crafting stone surfaces that unite beauty, precision, and enduring quality.
How It Works
We use a combination of the GMM Extra 37 Bridge Saw and Techni WaterJet with PAC60 rotating head to cut and prepare your benchtops for fabricating. These state of the art computerised machines allow us to get millimetre accuracy measurements ensuring quality finishes for our highly skilled fabricators to then complete.
From template to install, you can expect a 5-10 working day turnaround on all Engineered Stone benchtops, regardless of thickness. If you choose to use the new Ultra Compact Surfaces, due to the more complex requirements of working with this product, you will be looking at a 10-15 working day turnaround.
It doesn’t just stop at kitchen benchtops, we can help you out with vanity tops, fire hearths, fire mantles, table tops and lots more!
Why Engineered Stone
Engineered Stone is the world’s fastest growing material for kitchen benchtops. Upgrading to an Engineered Stone benchtop can increase the value of your house much more than the cost of the benchtop itself.
With a wide range of colours available, you will be sure to find something that works with your desired colour scheme, and we are here and happy to assist you in this process.
Engineered Stone is made up of 91-97% natural quartz, which is then bonded together using resins. The nature of the process
Most Engineered Stones will come in 20mm and 30mm thickness. Using a MR MDF substrate we are able to mitre the 20mm product up to achieve (almost) any thickness you require.
Why Ultra Compact Surfaces
Ultra Compact Surfaces are a growing trend in today’s marketplace. With their high resistance to scratching, stains, heat and abrasion their growing popularity is evident. Millions of dollars have been spent in research and development of Dekton and Neolith and the result is unprecedented. Want to stand out from the crowd?
