Silestone has been used for many years, but it came into fashion or use about 70 years ago. Silestone was introduced by a Spanish family called the Cosentino’s. The Cosentino’s began operating in the stone industry, a few years later they took business to the United States where sales flew. Silestone is partially responsible for creating the look of the modern kitchens, available today.
Silestone is used mainly for kitchen worktops, flooring, island tops, backsplashes, door knobs, switch plates, handles and much more.
Silestone is the smartest choice for hygiene, as it has built in Microban technology, which provides a level of anti-bacterial protection. It helps to fight the growth of micro-organisms like mould and other more harmful bacteria like E-coli, and Salmonella. Microban is evenly distributed throughout the body of the Silestone, it then protects the entire surface even those hard to reach places. If your thinking it will wear off in the first month of purchase your wrong, the Microban’s active ingredient will not wash off or wear out. It’s the ONLY quarts surface in the world to offer this protection. Impressive!
Silestone has many elegant tones of colour to pick from, having colours such as Rojo vital, Naranja Cool, Verde Fun, Amarillo Dream and lastly Azul Enjoy. With such choice you may have trouble picking your coloured surface!
