 <\/p>\n

Silestone is a surface material used to make<\/span> kitchen countertops<\/strong><\/a>, sinks, floors, shower trays, and wall cladding for bathroom. Boasting outstanding properties, it offers beauty similar to natural stone in a wide range of colours<\/strong> and extraordinary textures<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Known for its durability<\/strong> and non-porous structure<\/strong>, the material is hard and more resistant to scratches<\/strong>, stains<\/strong>, bacteria<\/strong>, and viruses<\/strong> than other countertop surfaces.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How is Silestone Made?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Silestone is made of more than 90%\u00a0natural quartz<\/strong>, with the remainder being polyester resin<\/strong>, colour agents<\/strong>, and antimicrobial protection<\/strong>. The polyester resin is what binds and holds the quartz crystals together, creating the Silestone surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Silestone resembles granite and marble but shines a little brighter<\/strong>. The\u00a0quartz crystals within it give\u00a0more sparkle<\/strong> than the naturally occurring materials. The look from start to finish is engineered, and each manufacturer has a colour palette<\/strong>, size<\/strong>, style<\/strong> and finish options<\/strong> that it\u00a0makes available to customers.<\/span><\/p>\n
