Why choose a granite kitchen countertop or a quartz based countertop like Silestone?
Quartz-based Silestone is one of the hardest stones after diamonds. No wonder quartz based countertops like Silestone are more durable and scratch resistant than any other countertop on the market! Furthermore, it does not need a lot of effort to keep clean. Silestone countertops are stain and heat resistant, which makes them ideal in the kitchen. Forget scratches, stains and fading. Granite kitchen countertops are also a good choice for the kitchen. They have to be resealed every couple of years, but their beauty is unmatched. Silestone and granite kitchen countertops are more than just durable: they exude luxury and elegance at an affordable price. Also, Silestone and granite countertops are a good way of adding value to your home without spending a lot.

Silestone or granite countertops?
First of all, we must clarify that Silestone and granite countertops are both made out of a certain percentage of quartz. Silestone contains more quartz than granite, so when someone refers to a quartz countertop, it generally means a Silestone countertop.
When choosing your countertop, you must assess your specific needs. For many customers it is durability, beauty and ease of maintenance. Silestone and granite countertops all offer these qualities. The main difference between Silestone and granite surfaces is that granite is a natural rock and Silestone is a man-made stone made out of 93% of natural quartz. They both are made of quartz, which is really hard and utterly beautiful, but both have their distinct advantages.For more information on the differences between granite and Silestone, visit our What is it page.
The key to choosing your kitchen countertop is to look at samples and find out what kind of look you want. Natural granite kitchen countertops must be chosen from slabs of granite and have a look that is less uniform, but more natural. An artificial quartz material like Silestone can be chosen from samples because it has a more uniform color. You can select from a wide variety of shades and edges to compliment your choice of Silestone or granite kitchen countertops. We are confident that you will be satisfied with the durability, beauty and style of your purchase.
