In character

It's the individual touches that set a kitchen apart. These may be design features, colors, or the use of a new and interesting material that elevates a kitchen out of the ordinary.

One such material is the new River Series Silestone® recently unveiled by Cosentino. The River Series features non-directional veins with an exotic flair, and a leather texture.

Monica Canales, marketing director Cosentino USA, says the River Series is an artistic way for designers to express themselves.

"This line combines beautiful earthy colors inspired by nature with the durability of quartz, and has the added benefit of needing very little maintenance."

Canales says the River Series was developed to complement the current design climate, which favors serenity and natural materials that create a harmonious look.

"Silestone evokes just such a mood in the home," she says.

The River Series also has the advantage of Microban® built in. Microban fights the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew on the surface of the product. Canales says the built-in Microban treatment lasts for the life of the surface, and ensures Silestone surfaces are easy to clean and stay that way.

As with all Silestone natural quartz surfaces, the River Series has many design applications, from kitchen countertops to shower walls.

Silestone is available coast-to-coast through an established network of distributors, certified Silestone installers, and more than 3,500 retail outlets. It also can be sourced online through e-counters.com.
