Kitchens have become an important part of every household, mainly because it is where an entire family joins together. It is also predicted that kitchens will become a significant part of everyone’s life, which signifies that the decor matters.
Like kitchens, bathrooms are another important part of any home since it is where one finds an ultimate relaxation. People’s expectation of a traditional bathroom now involves either a jacuzzi or a bathtub with a lot of walking space. Since we spend a lot of our time in these two areas in a household, it is only fair to design them with the most special stone ever known to humankind- the Calacatta Gold, but instead of the marble, a new form of engineered quartz stone would be better suited such as Silestone Calacatta Gold.
What is Silestone?
Silestone is a discovery of this century that makes your daily cleaning routine easier. It’s popularity and a high recommendation from builders and architects prove that the surface is truly precious. Silestone is manufactured by the Cosentino Group who carry more than 25 years of experience in manufacturing engineered stone surfaces.
Silestone composition:
Silestone is formed out of a mixture of quartz and resins that offer a balance of strength and beauty where no two slabs of the stone ever look the same. It is a befitting answer to many of the pressing problems faced by builders, decorators, and homeowners. Silestone is a compound with nearly 90% natural quartz that gives this surface hardness and resilience.
This engineered stone comprises superior characteristics such as:
High performance with bacterial protection
Non-porous surface
Wide array of colours, textures, and finishes
Modern & contemporary look
