Natural Beauty

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.

Versatility

Silestone can be used in virtually any indoor surfacing application in kitchens, bathrooms and floors, including: countertops, island tops, vanities, tub and shower surrounds, backsplashes, walls, wet bars, tabletops, desktops, fireplace surrounds and more.

Scratch-Resistance

The quartz in Silestone makes it naturally scratch-resistant. Only three other natural minerals – diamond, sapphire and topaz – are harder than quartz. Quartz is a seven on Mohs Hardness Scale (diamond is a 10).

Stain-Resistance

Silestone is non-porous and therefore it is highly resistant to stains from coffee, wine, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, makeup, and many other common household products.

Scorch-Resistance

Silestone is scorch-resistant. It will withstand limited exposure to heat without burning or scorching. However 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.

Strength

Silestone® has four times the flexural strength of granite, making it less susceptible to chipping and cracking during transportation and installation.

Colors and Edges

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 uniformity and consistency that allows for virtually unlimited edge designs.
