Silestone - What is a sustainable alternative to marble?

Fine veins and cloud-like structures that delicately wind their way through the stone: thanks to its characteristic grain and polished surface, marble has always stood for luxury and a natural beauty that visually enhances kitchens, living rooms, and more. However, marble is not only expensive, prone to scratches, and high-maintenance, but also presents ecological challenges. For those who love the aesthetics of marble while also valuing sustainability, durability, and easy care, Silestone by Cosentino offers a modern and responsible marble alternative. In this article, you'll learn everything about the production and advantages of Silestone and how this engineered stone enables an eco-friendly selection of marble-look furniture.

What is Silestone?

Silestone is an innovative surface material developed by Cosentino, a world leader in sustainable architecture and design solutions. It is a surface with a deliberately environmentally friendly composition, made from mineral raw materials, quartz particles, and recycled glass. Unlike conventional natural stone, Silestone is manufactured using a sophisticated industrial process that recycles materials and conserves resources.

The surface impresses not only with its durability but also with its unique marble look , which is virtually indistinguishable from real marble. Silestone is enjoying increasing popularity, particularly in interior design and furniture design – for example, for countertops and as tabletops for dining tables or coffee tables. We at One House also rely on Silestone for our high-quality side tables .

Sustainability meets design

Sustainability is more than just a trend – it is the central theme of our time. Silestone 's development is based on the goal of conserving natural resources while simultaneously creating products that meet the highest aesthetic and functional standards.

With its innovative HybriQ+® technology, Cosentino has set a milestone and fully demonstrates its commitment to sustainability: This production technology enables the use of up to 100% recycled water, 100% renewable energy, and a high proportion of recycled materials such as glass. The result is a product that not only looks stunning but also comes with a clear conscience – a truly sustainable alternative to marble.

  Silestone perfectly replicates the unique veining, patterns, and natural depth of marble. From classic white with grey veining to dark, black tones – there's a suitable option for every style and interior.
