What is Silestone?

Silestone possesses unique characteristics that make it a counter surface that you can depend on. It has bacteriostatic protection, a hygiene system built into its composition in order to prevent a wide range of bacteria from developing and keeping your kitchen a safe and tranquil environment. Silestone quartz is also resistant to acids such as lemon and wine, as well as stains, giving you peace of mind when working in the kitchen.

A Silestone worktop is a non-porous surface and is highly resistant to stains from everyday products and spills. Quartz worktops are also very durable and have a higher resistance than other similar products such as granite and solid surfaces. This guarantees safety when handling objects such as pots and pans. Silestone is available in over 70 colours and a variety of finishes, offering a number of design and decorative possibilities.

Technical Information & Design Options

Joints
All joints are finished with a small ariss to the top edge and are carefully sealed with silicone to allow for expansion and to prevent water seeping through or bacteria growing in cavities.

Tolerance in quartz worktops is ±2mm

Heavily Veined / Particulated Colours
These colours are highly unlikely to have contineous flow of the pattern when 2 sheets or 2 pieces of the same sheet are seamed together. The change of pattern will show up on the seam area

Thermal Expansion
Due to thermal expansion Quartz can expand up to 1mm per meter

Overhangs & Support
Any overhang extending more than 300mm should be supported and carcasses should be 600mm spacing
Due to the weight of quartz worktops, it is essential that your units are level and securely fixed.

Cutouts for Hobs, Sinks, etc
Sink cutouts are placed a minimum 50mm from the worktop front edge
A minimum of 120mm is required between two hob cut outs.
A minimum of 100mm is required between hob and sink cut outs.
A minimum of 70mm is required between two sink cut outs.
If a waste disposal unit is fitted to an undermounted sink after installation, additional support will be required, otherwise your warranty may be invalidated.

Stainless Steel Sinks
Carefully select your preferred method of undermounting stainless steel sinks to ensure sufficient support.
When the plumbing is done to the sink, it is important that the plumber reseals it with silicone, otherwise water may seep through the gap and your warranty may be invalidated

Upstands
Upstands less than 100mm high are extremely fragile and are not recommended.
Upstands are not normally cut from the same slab as the worksurfaces and therefore an exact colour match is not possible.
Because quartz upstands are straight and rigid, gaps will be visible if there are any imperfections or variations on the wall profile. To cover these gaps between the wall and the upstands, it is recommended that plastering or tiling be completed after the worktop installation.

Our quartz worktops are fabricated by a high-tech process from at least 94% natural quartz, blended with polymer resin, making it extraordinarily hard and resilient, with unequalled hygienic properties and exceptional beauty and luxury.

Staining
