Why Silestone®?

Through superior strength, incredible beauty and an unparalleled network of certified installers, Silestone® with Microban® is rapidly becoming the choice for discerning consumers. Silestone® is natural quartz. It is hard, dense and non-porous, making it perfectly suited for high-traffic areas in the home. As a revolutionary stone it delivers it all: versatility, reliability and consistency. The combination of beauty and durability makes Silestone® the ideal surface for counter tops, vanity tops, flooring, walls, fireplace surrounds, showers, backsplashes, bathtub surrounds and more.

With most other surfaces, consumers end up sacrificing either beauty over durability or vice-versa. Because quartz makes Silestone® both beautiful, scratch-resistant, stain-resistant and scorch-resistant, Silestone® users can have it all!

Naturally Beautiful : The quartz in Silestone® is 100% natural, offering a sophisticated elegance and timeless beauty. The natural quartz in Silestone® delivers distinctive depth of color, brilliant clarity, glimmering radiance and a cool, solid feel unique to natural stone.

Always Reliable : Silestone® natural quartz surfaces result from a tightly controlled process to ensure color consistency and ultimate durability every time. As a hard, dense and non-porous material that is consistent throughout its composition, it is more reliable than any other natural stone. To prove it, Silestone is backed by a limited, 15-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Extremely Versatile : Silestone® can be used for virtually any indoor surface in kitchens, bathrooms and floors, including: countertops, island tops, vanities, tub and shower surrounds, backsplashes, walls, wet bars, tabletops, desktops, fireplace surrounds and more. Available in a wide array of dazzling colors, from conservative neutral hues, to daring bright colors, it may also be customized for surfacing applications in countless ways from infinite cuts (up to a whole slab of 4.5’ x 10’), to virtually unlimited edge designs.

Most Durable : The quartz in Silestone® makes it naturally scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and scorch-resistant. Only three other natural minerals (diamond, sapphire and topaz) are harder than quartz. Quartz is a 7 on Mohs Hardness Scale (diamond is a 10) and has four times the flexural strength of granite, making it less susceptible to chipping and cracking during transportation and installation.

A slip of the knife will scratch other counter tops, but it won’t leave a mark on Silestone®. And as a non-porous natural material, unlike granite, it does not need to be sealed to keep its lustrous shine. Silestone® is highly resistant to stains from coffee, wine, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, makeup, and many other common household products. Furthermore, Silestone® will withstand limited exposure to heat without burning or scorching. The fire of a lit match will not mar Silestone®.

Maintenance-free : Because it is non-porous, Silestone® does not need to be sealed. Granite, marble and limestone, on the other hand, must be sealed on installation and resealed regularly to prevent staining. Silestonev is a maintenance-free star compared to solid surfaces that may require rigorous maintenance to clean up tough stains, scratches and scorch marks.
