More than skin deep

There's no question good-looking surfaces can transform a bathroom. In addition to the aesthetics, cleanliness is also very important.

Silestone natural quartz surfacing from Cosentino offers the best of both worlds eye-catching good looks with exclusive antimicrobial protection. All Silestone surfaces from vanity tops to shower walls now feature Microban antimicrobial product protection to inhibit the growth of microbes, such as odor-causing bacteria.

Monica Canales, marketing director for Cosentino North America, says the Microban antimicrobial product protection not only makes a bathroom easier to clean, it also keeps it cleaner between cleanings. Microban technology is not designed to protect users against foodborne illness, nor replace normal cleaning practices.

"Unlike surface-applied coatings, the Microban protection is incorporated into the molecular structure of Silestone to last for the life of the product. Microban protection works continuously and will not wash off or wear away."

Canales says Silestone is the only countertop and vanity top to offer this kind of protection.

"The introduction of Silestone with Microban makes these surfaces even more appealing."

Canales says as quartz is one of the hardest minerals, Silestone is naturally scratch resistant. It is also non-porous, and therefore highly stain resistant and doesn't need to be sealed. In addition, its innate strength means Silestone is less susceptible to chipping, cracking or breaking.

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