Why Choose Silestone Silken Pearl?

Just like Silestone Statuario or any other Silestone worktop, Silken Pearl boasts some durable characteristics that make it one of the best choices among homeowners. Some of these features are:

1. Non-porous Surface

A Silestone worktop has a non-porous surface that makes it highly resistant to stains, viruses, and bacteria. Talking about its manufacturing process, quartz worktops have antimicrobial that prevents bacterial growth on its surface. Hence, it is considered as one of the most hygienic worktop surfaces for modern homes.

2. Easy to Maintain

Silestone Silken Pearl surface is easy to maintain. Although it mimics the beauty of natural stone, it doesn’t need any sealant or special maintenance. All you need is a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner to protect its glossy surface from regular build-up, as well as wear and tear.

3. Stain Resistant

Due to the non-porous surface, Silestone kitchen worktops are highly resistant to stains. Even when acidic liquids or food substances (like wine, coffee, lemon juice, tomato, olive oil, or vinegar) spills on its surface, there won’t be any issue of stains. However, it would help if you wiped off the spillage sooner to avoid any dry staining.

4. Impact Resistant

Silestone is also highly resistant to impact. It enables homeowners to handle any object in their kitchen without any fear of destroying or damaging the surface. When compared to marble which rates number 3 on MOh’s scale, quartz rates number 7, making it the third hardest rock on the planet, following Diamond and Ruby.

This worktop surface is also highly scratch and scorch resistant. Since quartz is highly durable, Silestone countertops make it one of the hardest surfaces that are difficult to scratch or chip. It makes it an ideal choice in open rooms or busy kitchens.

6. Available in Different Formats

The different sizes and formats of Silestone worktops depend on its treatment. But, generally, Silestone worktop formats are available in two sizes – Standard 55 x 120-inches and jumbo 63 x 128-inches. It is even possible in different floor tile options – 24” x 24”, 18” x 18”, 12” x 35”, 12” x 24” and 12” x 12”.

For a valid warranty, homeowners must ensure not to damage the product due to the dropping of any heavy object on the worktop, placing hot pots or pans on the countertop, using abrasive cleaning agents for cleaning the surface or using a sharp knife to cut vegetables directly on the surface.
