The Silestone Difference
Designing you dream home starts with the selection of the right materials. That's where Silestone natural quartz enters the scene. Silestone is the world's leading quartz surface, combining strength and beauty to create a superior choice for nearly any surface in your home or office.
The Silestone Product
Silestone offers benefits that outperform other surfaces, such as scratch and scorch resistance that can't be matched by plastic or solid surface, and resistance to stains that can't be matched by even sealed granite or marble. And with over 38 colors available, and virtually unlimited edge designs to choose from, Silestone offers something for everyone to love.

Cleaning Silestone
Daily maintenance of Silestone requires only the simple use of soap and water or any regular household cleaner. Stubborn stains may call for the careful use of an abrasive cleaner
Silestone is available in 45 dazzling colors, ensuring that there is a Silestone color to suit most any style or taste. Cosentino continues to grow its Silestone color palette every year. Because Silestone natural quartz delivers more color consistency than any other natural stone, homeowners can be confident when using samples to choose their Silestone countertop color.
Stain Resistant
Silestone's polished surface is non-porous and thus highly resistant to stains from coffee, wine, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, makeup, and many other common household products. Unlike granite, Silestone does not need to be sealed to keep its lustrous shine.
Scratch Resistant
Only three other natural minerals -diamond, sapphire and topaz - are harder than quartz, making Silestone naturally scratch-resistant. Quartz is a seven in strength on Mohs Hardness Scale (diamond is a 10). So, while a careless slip of the knife will scratch most other countertops such as laminates and some granites, it won't leave a mark on Silestone. Silestone is not scratch-proof, however, and can therefore be damaged with excessive force or pressure.
Heat Resistant
Unlike solid surfaces and laminates, Silestone is heat- and scorch-resistant. It will withstand limited exposure to heat without burning or scorching. The fire of a lit match will not mar the Silestone countertop. However, as advised by crockpot and electric skillet manufacturers, do not place these items directly on any countertop. Always use of trivets when placing hot items on a Silestone surface to avoid thermal shock.
