Manufactured in Spain by Cosentino, Silestone is widely used in
European countries and the USA. Silestone is one of the most environmentally
sensitive materials for commercial or residential use. It is composed
of 94% quartz and other natural disposable materials and is virtually
maintenance free. Silestone is also a Greenguard certified product.
Silestone, is the first and only quartz surface available incorporating
Mircroban active antibacterial protection. Its unique combination
of quartz, glass, polymer resin and colour pigments creates a
versatile surface for hospitals, hotel receptions, aged care and
retail fitouts as well as kitchen and bathroom applications.
Microban antibacterial protection is built-in during the manufacturing
process meaning it cannot wear away or wash off, so your Silestone
worktop is protected for the life of the product. Microban will
inhibit the growth of potentially harmful bacteria, such as salmonella,
e-coli and listeria that can cause food poisoning.
