The Enduring Beauty of Quartz:Quartz is one of nature’s hardest minerals. Our surfaces are composed of up to 93% quartz, and are therefore designed to last.

In a unique Caesarstone-patented process, we take the innate strength of quartz and combine it with numerous polymers and dashes of pigments. The result: A range of durable and beautiful quartz surfaces in a wide variety of colors and finishes. All that’s needed is your inner designer to bring them spectacularly to life, any way you see fit. From feature walls to custom-made furniture, the sky’s the limit.

Uncompromising Quality: Quality control is second nature to Caesarstone. We select only the finest raw materials, which undergo an exacting series of production processes at our two state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. The unrivalled expertise of our designers and the hard work of our R&D labs, ensure a uniform excellence of quality from all four production lines. Each and every one of our finished products are polished to perfection, and ready to be rigorously examined , before declaring it flawless, and ready to be incorporated into your designs.

Resistant to stains, scratches and cracks, Caesarstone surfaces are also highly heat-resistant, and happily shrug off most common household chemicals. Highly adaptable to almost any environment, you’ll have plenty of freedom when deciding which of your next interior spaces to reinvent. Surfaces can be supplied in thicker or thinner widths helps too, for increased flexibility – and to save weight. Caesarstone surfaces are non porous, making them safe and hygienic enough for use in laboratories, healthcare facilities, and food preparation environments.

The history of Cape Lime dates back to 1946 when the first vertical shaft kiln was commissioned by Cape Lime Company Ltd on the farm Langevallei near Robertson.

Today Langvlei has three kilns in operation, calcining dolomite, which is mined and crushed on site. It also boasts with the only pressure hydrator in South Africa.

The Vredendal operation came into existence in 1981, when the dolomitic aggregate operation was expanded to include the Mineral Filler Plant.

Further expansion included the erection of the high grade dolomite blending plant for the glass industry in 1983 and the processing of high grade limestone in 1993.

A fluid bed calciner was commissioned in 2004 producing quality white lime.

As a private company, Cape Lime has a 30% BEE shareholding and obtained a Level 5 (63.4%) BBBEE rating.

Both operations are ISO 9001:2000 accredited and our CLC Building and Plaster Lime carries the SABS Type A2P mark.

In November 2013, the City of Cape Town launched a new residential high-pressure solar water heater programme that addresses the key barriers to mainstream adoption of solar water heaters among residential homeowners in Cape Town. The focus on residential solar water heaters comes because heating water is the biggest use of electricity in a typical mid-to-high income Cape Town household and a solar water heater can cut overall electricity consumption by a third or more.

This saves the household money, and the more the electricity tariffs go up, the greater the savings.

But substantial benefits to all come from the broader adoption of solar water heaters. This lowers overall demand on the electricity grid, particulary during peak hours when the households tend to use hot water, in the morning before work and school, and in the evenings at dinner time and before bed. This lower peak demand means a lower risk of load shedding, which helps everyone.

As Capetonians, we all share the common goals of clean air, affordable and reliable electricity, and a healthy and resilient economy that benefits us all.

Currently the predominant focus is clay brick production.The Group is, however, well positioned to develop additional clay masonry products to meet the diverse requirements of the Western Cape building and construction industry and to help address the housing crisis in impoverished communites.

The high thermal mass found in every one of our bricks naturally helps moderate indoor temperatures and thereby significantly reducing the need for energy that's used up by artificial heating and cooling systems.  In addition, face brick eliminates the so-called carbon debt associated with a lifetime of maintenance.  Our bricks are inert and do not release volatile organic compounds, which are potentially harmful to the environment.  Bricks are from the earth and when you build with Corobrik you're paying mother nature the ultimate compliment.
