Silestone offers a sophisticated elegance and timeless beauty. The natural quartz in Silestone delivers distinctive depth, brilliant clarity, glimmering radiance and a cool, solid feel unique to natural stone.

Unlike solid surfaces and laminates, Silestone is scorch-resistant. It will withstand limited exposure to heat without burning or scorching. The fire of a lit match will not mar Silestone. However, as advised by crock pot and electric skillet manufacturers, do not place these items directly on any countertop. Always use trivets when placing hot items on any natural stone or quartz surface to avoid thermal shock.

The look, the touch, the feel, is but the basic ingredients in a sophisticated formula of development and design. Cut, Silestone offers virtually unlimited possibilities in terms of applications. Ideally suited for kitchen countertops, Silestone is also excellent for bathroom vanity tops, table tops, floors and even shelving. On a vertical line, Silestone makes for excellent backsplash designs, shower walls and other wall cladding, giving the end-user the power to continue reinventing their spaces with Silestone Quartz.

Silestone is available in a wide array of dazzling colors, from conservative neutral hues, to daring bright colors, ensuring that there is a Silestone color to suit most any style or taste. Silestone delivers a uniformity and consistency that allows for virtually unlimited edge designs.

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. Silestone is a maintenance-free star compared to solid surfaces that may require rigorous maintenance to clean up tough stains, scratches and scorch marks.

Silestone countertops feature the added protection of built-in Microban® antimicrobial product protection. Microban protection fights the uncontrolled growth of bacteria that can cause stains, odors and damage your countertop. Microban protection works continuously to keep your Silestone countertops cleaner and fresher between cleanings. Microban technology is not designed to protect users against foodborne illness and is not a substitute for good hygiene.

Microban protection works to keep your countertops cleaner between cleanings. Microban protection provides an added level of defense against microbes between cleanings. On an untreated countertop surface, bacteria can double in number every 20 minutes. Microban technology is built-in to your Silestone countertop during the manufacturing process, so it works continuously to fight microbes even between cleanings. And because it's built-in during the manufacturing process, it won't wash off or wear away, giving your countertops protection that lasts the lifetime of the countertop.
