Countertop Buying Guide: Silestone

Silestone is the perfect merger of beauty and easy care. This quartz surface is hard as a rock – only topaz, sapphires and diamonds are harder – and it offers crystalline depth of color. But unlike other stone surfaces, Silestone is dense and absolutely nonporous, so it never needs sealing or polishing.

What’s more, it resists scratches, scorching, bacteria and stains (coffee, wine, lemon juice and olive oil clean up without a trace). Comes in more than 50 colors and 2 distinct finishes to suit every taste. 15-year limited warranty. Available nationwide.
