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.
