functionality
26
Staron can be thermoformed to
create dramatic sweeping curves.

26. BEAUTY
Staron’s thermoforming capability allows it to
be formed into any shape, enabling sweeping
curves for unique designs. Through sublimation,
Staron can have corporate logos, signage and
decorative designs embedded into the surface,
without any loss of performance of the material.
Staron’s Dazzling White design is translucent, so
can be backlit to create stunning visual effects.
27
The joints of this Staron internet desk (below) are
virtually invisible: giving the successful impression
that this complex but elegant shape has been
formed from a single piece of material.

challenge. The plinth had to support the
armature for the Stegosaurus without
actually touching it, eliminating the risk
of vibration or impact movement.
50
CASE STUDY
NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
After visiting Blackheath’s Staron exhibition stand at the 100
Percent Design Show, the Natural History Museum’s
in-house designer, Gemma Smith, worked with us and award-
winning design, build and fit out company, Paragon Creative.
York-based Paragon Creative was commissioned to create a
plinth which would house the most complete Stegosaurus
skeleton in the world. The dinosaur, on display at London’s
Natural History Museum, was discovered in 2003 in Wyoming
US and existed around 150 million years ago.
In total, the armature and skeleton weighs 900kg. Paragon’s
Production Design and Solid Surface facility designed an internal
independent steel frame inside the outer plinth, which sits on
bespoke shock absorbent feet. The outer plinth then surrounds
and covers this inner plinth with no contact what so ever. This
outer plinth is covered in two colours of Staron Solid Surface
(Sanded Tundra and Sanded Stratus). Each layer has been CNC
cut and fabricated to exact dimensions, which keeps the
contours precise and even, and ensures the structure of the
plinth is strong enough to carry the weight of the Stegosaurus.
The whole plinth and Armature was then erected in Paragon’s
Solid Surface workshop in York before being dismantled and
shipped down to the Natural History Museum and installed on
site behind tight security.
Paragon also built a Staron Solid Surface interpretation table, incorporating
replicas of the dinosaur supplied by Propshop and Graphics and AV by the
Natural History Museum.

CASE STUDY
MERTHYR TYDFIL COLLEGE
Merthyr Tydfil College needed reception counters for the main
entrance and each department entrance, as well as food service
counters and cash desks for the coffee shop and refrectory areas.
The Staron design: Tempest Zenith was chosen as it best
reflected the appearance of the shale rock that makes up
a large part of the geology of the Merthyr Tydfil area.
Each of the reception desks were machined with a CNC router
to allow Bright White Staron to be inlaid flush into the Zenith
design to provide location signage in both Welsh and English.
This work, while intricate, provided bold and clear signs that are
easily cleaned and will stay looking as good as new.
The project architect was Boyes Rees of Cardiff and the main
contractor was Interserve. The reception counters were
manufactured by Limebright of Newport Gwent and the service
and coffee shop surfaces were manufactured by Counterline
of Liverpool.
Staron’s design features were utilised
to their full; hygienic and easy to clean
seamless surfaces with strong
construction and great looks!

Roann Marble Company Limited
CASE STUDY
CAFFE RIZZOLI,
MEADOWHALL SHOPPING CENTRE
Caffe Rizzoli teamed up with Staron and Blackheath
(the exclusive Staron distributor in the UK and Ireland) to create
a stylish, sophisticated meeting place, eatery and prosecco bar
in a busy public area within the Meadowhall shopping centre in
Sheffield. The underside of a public spiral staircase cleverly acts
as the home for a working kitchen.
Alongside ABA Architecture Ltd and the Roann Marble
Company, Blackheath supplied Staron Bright White for seating,
kitchen surfaces and food service areas. Despite the fast-paced
environment, Staron’s seamless joins and elegantly thermoformed
shapes provide a sense of calm in the contemporary space.
Sweeping arcs of Staron Bright White surfaces form the
perimeter and a solid structure for the installation of recessed
lighting, glass screens and seating areas. With no visible joins
and smooth, non-porous surfaces, Staron gives Caffe Rizzoli
easy to clean, totally hygienic and robust surfaces for food
preparation in the kitchen and the serving of food and drink in
the café and bar.

CASE STUDY
GUY’S HOSPITAL
For the completion of its main entrance refurbishment in 2011,
Guy’s Hospital in London wanted to recreate the London skyline
inside its public areas.
Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust commissioned
the design partnership Artinsite to shoot three panorama
photographs featuring iconic buildings from around the hospital’s
site at London Bridge.
The images were selected to pick up the colours of the Trust’s
way-finding scheme and positioned to make best use of the
three wall elevations. The images were digitally printed onto
durable and hygienic class 1 fire rated laminate / MDF composite
panels to satisfy all building regulations.
These panels were produced to a maximum height of 4.5 metres
and ranged from 12 to 20 metres in length. These impressive
displays of famous London scenes are designed to put visitors
to Guy’s Hospital at ease, by creating a familiar visual
environment with a great sense of space.
Blackheath worked as part of the team alongside Artinsite and
the supplier to produce stunning artwork which has won much
critical acclaim since its installation.
“Blackheath were very helpful and
sourced the different aspects of
production for us - their knowledge of
the industry is impressive. Blackheath
were true partners in that they took on
the responsibility for getting the project
right - for us and for Guy’s Hospital.”
Louisa Williams, Artinsite

57. CASE STUDY
STOURBRIDGE COLLEGE
During 2015, Stourbridge College Library was completely
refurbished. For this project, we worked with commercial
interiors and retail display fit out company Apex Design Ltd
as designers, contractors and installers.
Staron Bright White 12mm solid surfacing material was used with
a lime green high pressure laminate to create the circular surfaces
for the internet and email access points within the Library.
Staron Bright White was selected, as it is readily available from
Blackheath Products: a crucial consideration for any contractor
when the project lead time is tight. It is also hygienic, very easy to
clean and hard wearing. Its solid colour also gives it the flexibility
to be formed into circles (and any other shape) seamlessly.

Solid Surfacing
A blend of acrylic polymer, natural minerals
(aluminium tri-hydroxide) and pigments,
solid surfacing is a completely inert and
non-porous material. It is therefore a safe,
hygienic material for use in food preparation
and all other surfacing applications.
The use of thermoforming and
inconspicuous seams combined with
fantasy and real stone effects can help the
designer create truly unique and high
performing surfaces.
