Silestone - What is an easy-care 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 sensitive to acids and stains. For those who love the aesthetics of marble while also valuing durability and easy care, Silestone by Cosentino offers a modern marble alternative. In this article, you'll learn everything about the production and advantages of Silestone and how this engineered stone enables marble-look furniture.

What is Silestone?

Silestone is an innovative surface material developed by Cosentino, a Spanish family-owned company and world-leading manufacturer of surfaces for architecture and design. It is a surface made from mineral raw materials, quartz particles, and recycled glass. Unlike conventional natural stone, Silestone is manufactured using a sophisticated industrial process in which part of the materials comes from recycling.

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 .

Production and technology

Silestone 's development combines the look of natural stone with everyday practicality and meets the highest aesthetic and functional standards.

With its innovative HybriQ+® technology, Cosentino has further developed its production. According to the manufacturer, it uses 99% reused water, 100% electricity from renewable sources and at least 20% recycled materials such as glass. The result is a surface that looks stunning and is robust in everyday use.
