Frequently Asked Questions About Silestone

Silestone is made up of at least 94% natural quartz, a beautiful and highly durable stone. Because of its ideal combination of beauty and practicality it has a myriad of interior surfacing applications.
Silestone offers more colour consistency than granite, making it easier to pick colours from samples without having to visit a stone yard. Plus, Silestone is virtually maintenance-free – it doesn’t need to be sealed and cleaning is easy.
Silestone is made with Quartz; a 100% natural, hard mineral that gives Silestone both beauty and strength. Solid surfaces are made from plastic polymers; they have a duller finish and are also are softer – making them more susceptible to scorches and scratches.
Silestone, just like other brands of reconstituted stone, is a dense, non-porous stone that delivers reliability and performance, scratch-resistance and high stain-resistance with no sealing required. However, Silestone is made up of the highest percentage of natural quartz (94%) when compared to other reconstituted stone manufacturers. In 2005, Silestone was the first and only benchtop manufacturer to introduce built-in bacteriostatic product protection. While bacteriostatic product protection does not protect users from food-borne illness and is not a substitute for normal cleaning practices, it does result in benchtops that are easier to clean and stay clean.
Quartz is one of the hardest, most abundant minerals found in nature – only diamond, sapphire and topaz are harder. Besides beauty, the quartz in Silestone gives it extreme strength, making Silestone highly scratch-resistant.
Silestone has a range of more than 65 unique colours, in many series and styles to suit your taste and décor.
Yes. Silestone is ideal for use in kitchen benchtops, island tops, splashbacks and more.
Yes. Add beauty and practicality to any bathroom with Silestone vanity tops, basins, splashbacks, shower recess walls and bathtub surrounds.

Silestone’s team has more than 70 years’ experience in the international natural stone industry and has a distribution network readily available throughout the east coast of Australia.
Silestone backs all installed benchtop projects with a 15-Year Limited Warranty. Silestone’s warranty covers structural manufacturing defects but may not cover damage caused by negligent care and maintenance.
