The Kitchen Store

Need a new kitchen countertop? Silestone would be a great choice. The kitchen remodeling designers at The Kitchen Store elaborate on its advantages below.

What is Silestone

Silestone is made of quartz—one of the hardest natural materials—and other extremely durable raw materials, making it extremely durable. However, apart from its exceptional durability, what makes it a great choice for a countertop

• Scratch-resistant – Thanks to its exceptional durability, the quartz surface of Silestone is resistant to scratches. And because of this scratch-resistant surface, your countertop can look brand new even after several years
• Spill-and-stain-proof – Silestone is non-porous and therefore can’t be stained by spilled coffee, vinegar, lemon juice, wine, olive oil, and other everyday products
• Impact-resistant – Even a durable countertop is bound to suffer a few cracks after you accidentally drop cookware, but not Silestone countertops
• Elegance – Combined with some traditional cabinet designs, Silestone’s quartz surface can add a touch of simple elegance to any kitchen. You’ll also have a great deal of design flexibility since manufacturers often offer a wide variety of patterns and textures for Silestone countertops

Caring for Your Silestone Countertop

Of course, no countertop is completely invulnerable, which is why it’d be a good idea to know how to care for a Silestone countertop. Here are some basic tips

• Cover your countertop with protective material before placing hot cookware on top of it. Silestone doesn’t react well with heat, although this is true for most countertop materials
• Only hire an experienced contractor to install a Silestone. Even a material as durable as Silestone can be damaged if it isn’t installed properly
