Strength & Excellence that Last a Lifetime

Through superior strength, incredible beauty and an unparalleled distribution network, Silestone is rapidly becoming the surfacing choice for discerning consumers. Here are the top reasons why:

Natural Beauty

Silestone has the sophisticated elegance and timeless beauty of stone. The natural quartz in Silestone delivers a distinctive depth, brilliant clarity, glimmering radiance and cool, solid feel unique to natural stones.

Versatility

Silestone can be used in virtually any indoor surfacing application, including kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, tub and shower surrounds, backsplashes, floors, walls, wet bars, tabletops, desktops, fireplace surrounds,and more.

Widespread Availability

There is a reliable network of dedicated distributors who deliver Silestone and service customers throughout North America, including all metropolitan areas in the United States, several regions in Canada, and now even is expanding into Mexico and Puerto Rico. In North America, Silestone is available through approximately 3,500 retailers including all EXPO Design Center® stores, Home Depot® locations, as well as a variety of kitchen and bath retailers, cabinet shops, tile/flooring outlets, designers’ showrooms, architectural firms, builders, and more.

Scratch-Resistance

Only three other natural minerals -diamond, sapphire and topaz – are harder than quartz, making Silestone naturally scratch-resistant. Quartz is a seven in strength on Mohs Hardness Scale (diamond is a 10). So, while a careless slip of the knife will scratch most other countertops such as laminates and some granites, it won’t leave a mark on Silestone. Silestone is not scratch-proof, however, and can therefore be damaged with excessive force or pressure.

Stain-Resistance

Silestone’s polished surface is non-porous and thus highly resistant to stains from coffee, wine, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, makeup, and many other common household products. Unlike granite, Silestone does not need to be sealed to keep its lustrous shine.

Heat Resistance

Unlike solid surfaces and laminates, Silestone is heat- and scorch-resistant. It will withstand limited exposure to heat without burning or scorching. The fire of a lit match will not mar the Silestone countertop. However, as advised by crockpot and electric skillet manufacturers, do not place these items directly on any countertop. Always use trivets when placing hot items on a Silestone surface to avoid thermal shock.

Strength

Silestone has four times the flexural strength of granite, making it less susceptible to chipping and cracking than granite during transportation and installation.

Maintenance-Free

Because it is non-porous, Silestone’s polished surface doesn’t need to be sealed. Granite, marble and limestone, on the other hand, must be sealed on installation and resealed regularly to prevent staining. Cleaning Silestone is easy with soapy water or a mild household cleaner such as Formula 409®, Fantastik® or Windex®. No surface is indestructible, though. As with any other stone or surface, strong chemicals and solvents such as Drano®, Liquid Plummer®, oven cleaners and floor strippers will damage the surface and must not be used on Silestone.

Color

Silestone is available in over 42 dazzling colors, ensuring that there is a Silestone color to suit most any style or taste. Cosentino continues to grow its Silestone color palette every year. Because Silestone natural quartz delivers more color consistency than any other natural stone, homeowners can be confident when using samples to choose their Silestone countertop color.

Experience

Counter Intelligence is backed by Cosentino and its more than 70 years in the natural stone industry. Furthermore, Silestone is fabricated and installed by dedicated certified craftsmen who were trained by Cosentino through a unique curriculum that includes expert hands-on training.

With literally thousands of different granite slabs in our warehouse displaying some of nature’s best art work, you are certain to find that precise color for your granite countertops. The final phase to take place in your kitchen remodeling are your granite countertops, and we help make sure it carries a perfect and well balanced combination of colors to match your cabinets, floors, and overall appearance.

Below you will find some of the most popular colors used for granite countertops, but we invite you to come out to our kitchen design showroom or one of our warehouses to look over hundreds of other alternatives you can choose from. We are constantly adding more colors to our online gallery, but if there is a particular color you want and do not see here, please call (301) 589-5321 and a team member will be glad to help you find it.

Note that the granite countertop color samples below should only be used as a visual reference. As you know, granite is natural stone material and an exact representation of its colors, grains, veining, fissures or any other condition would be impossible to illustrate here.

What is Dekton?

According to the Cosentino official website, Dekton is a sophisticated blend of the raw materials used to produce the very latest in glass and porcelain as well as the highest quality quartz work surfaces. Let’s start by showing you an interesting video in which they submit Dekton countertops to several performance tests…

Discover Dekton

Imagine if you could combine the best attributes of all your favorite surface materials – both natural and engineered – what would it look like? What would you call it? What would be its strengths and weaknesses?

Cosentino took a similar approach several years ago when it decided to reinvent the manmade surface material. The idea of bringing different characteristics and features into one type of surface was a delicate process of innovation, and they called it Dekton.

Dekton merely imitates and substitutes a process in which Mother Nature takes thousands or even millions of years to produce. This is only accomplished by the use of proprietary technology as well as a state of the art facility built exclusively for the fabrication of Dekton.

Interior & Exterior Use

Dekton has unrivaled aesthetics and innovative features that make it a product of choice for use in both interior and exterior projects, contributing an extensive palette of Dekton colors. Its superior characteristics provide an exceptional resistance to UV rays which help maintain the color consistency if used in applications outdoors. These unique characteristics also provide resistance and brilliant performance when used indoors, perhaps in a kitchen, bathroom or even floors, in both residential and commercial environments.

What does a complete Dekton Kitchen look like?

We recently finished a complete kitchen renovation where the customer chose Dekton countertops for her entire kitchen, and guess what? It’s beautiful. As they say; “pictures are worth a thousand words”, so we took several photos of this particular project to show you the level of innovation and elegance that Dekton brings to a kitchen. Hopefully we captured it.

INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME

So, you want to sell the house? Then I’m sure you want the next home owner to absolutely fall in love with the house. Well, let me tell you that the first place the “wife” will be looking at (and paying extreme attention to) is going to be the kitchen, and second thing will be the bathroom – or bathrooms – in the house. I can assure you that.

So why not raise the value of the house by remodeling the kitchen? Also, depending on the condition, you may want to think about replacing the bathroom or at least give your powder room a boost. I bring this up again, because remember, that in “most” cases, it is the wife that is purchasing the house, not the husband (trust me… I know from experience here!).

You can get a huge return on your investment by really selling the kitchen (remember that wife?) as the one place where the entire family can come together. The kitchen is the hub for any family. Most people buy homes – not houses – remember that.

Bottom line is, if you are looking for a reputable kitchen remodeling company in Maryland, then you are in the right place. We are genuinely here to help with any questions or concerns, and able to provide a free estimate in the comfort of your home. Give us a call.
