Have you seen silestone countertops? Today this trendy, innovative product helps revolutionize cost-effective remodeling in Texas. Even if the name does not sound familiar, the odds remain good you may have encountered this trendy kitchen countertop and flooring material during custom home open houses or parade of homes tours!
Essentially, silestone represents an attractive new style of engineered stone. It contains quartz, a hard mineral widely recognized for its decorative properties. However, during the manufacturing process, the rock substrate undergoes admixture with tough, durable resins. Sleek, elegant decorative panels and flooring result from this process. Today, beautiful silestone countertops rival granite, marble, slate and many other natural stone products as elegant, highly functional additions to kitchen environments.
A Versatile, Sophisticated Appearance
Despite its popularity, silestone sometimes defies easy recognition. For one thing, it often strongly resembles other natural stone surfaces. The hard, smoothly lustrous textures of counters crafted from this material appeal to designers and homeowners alike.
You can obtain silestone currently in a wide array of desirable colors and shades: light grey and white, brown, pink and red, dark grey and black and many other popular tones help make this type of engineered quartz product an exceedingly versatile countertop or flooring choice during a kitchen remodel. Many people experience difficulty distinguishing silestone products from other types of stone surfaces. You can find selections to complement virtually any interior decorating motif and style.
Why choose silestone instead of granite?
Why would someone select silestone for use during construction in lieu of granite, slate or some other type of rock? As a form of engineered stone, this product typically represents a highly cost effective alternative to mined minerals. Plus, as a manufactured item, it usually fits desired dimensions without extensive cutting. Identifying, trimming and polishing an appropriately-sized slab of granite capable of meeting desired color specifications may prove very difficult; homeowners can locate long flat expanses of silestone in attractive color combinations without incurring prohibitive transportation expenses. It arrives on site pre-cut and already finished.
Additionally, as an engineered product, silestone possesses a strong consistent internal composition. Fault lines within natural stone sometimes cause cracking or chipping; silestone exceeds the hardness of many natural minerals. It transports well without shattering.
Other Silestone Advantages
As a kitchen remodel material, silestone offers some other benefits as well. Quartz-based silestone resists scratching and scuffing better than marble.
This nonporous material offers better resistance to water than some stone products, too. It won’t harbor mildew or molds easily.
