Silestone

Silestone is a surface material created by the Spanish company Cosentino, first introduced in 1990. Before Silestone, the company had already experimented with engineered stone and in 1988 developed its first industrially produced stone material, Marmolstone. Silestone became the next step in that development, and later one of Cosentino's best-known international brands.

Today the material is produced with HybriQ+® technology, which departs from the traditional quartz composition. It is based on a specially selected mineral blend that also uses at least 20% recycled materials, such as glass. At the same time, production runs on 100% renewable electricity and 99% recycled water.

HybriQ+® technology was introduced in 2020, reducing the crystalline silica content of Silestone and creating a new generation of mineral surfaces. It keeps the durability and density quartz surfaces are known for while changing the material's composition and how it is made.

Silestone surfaces are used in kitchens, bathrooms, furniture, wall cladding and other interior work. The collections offer calm, even tones as well as expressive interpretations of marble and natural stone, in a choice of surface finishes.
