Functional and beautiful, Silestone quartz worksurfaces are composed of 90% natural quartz crystals; only three other natural minerals; diamond, sapphire and topaz are harder than quartz. Silestone has nearly four to five times the flexural strength of granite, bacteriostatic protection (in some colours) and a high resistance to scratch, stains and heat. Silestone is the ideal surface for use in a wide variety of applications, including, work surfaces, bar/reception tops, flooring, vanity units, splashbacks and wall cladding. Silestone is available in over 60 distinctive through-body colours with a shade and tone consistency that is not found with natural stone as well as three textures, polished, Suede (matt) and Volcano (textured).
