Sometimes, all that's needed to improve or update the appearance of your bathroom is a small or subtle alteration. Because the vanity is often the only piece of furniture in the room, it is the obvious contender for change.

Cosentino has recently debuted a new line of Silestone natural quartz vanity tops. Silestone is an ideal surface for various bathroom applications because it is non-porous and resists would-be stains by hair products, make-up or oils. It also resists soap scum, scratches and scorches. Silestone is easy to maintain, needing only to be wiped over with soapy water or a mild household cleaner.

Silestone vanity tops are available in a range of sizes from standard and semi-custom to fully custom. The four standard sizes of Silestone vanity tops are available in stock nationwide from select retail outlets, including Expo Design Center stores as well as on line at e-counters.com.

Each package comes complete with finished edges, a backsplash, undermount sink bowl cutout, predrilled faucet holes and a 10-year manufacturer's warranty. Side splash pieces that fit on the right or left sides of the vanity are available separately. Also available separately are sink undermount kits, which allow homeowners to install their own Silestone tops, without needing to be an expert in the field.

And for homeowners who prefer a customized fit and look, Silestone may be fabricated to their specifications. For a list of fabricators in your area, visit the locator in the Silestone website.

As well as working well in the bathroom, Silestone can also be used for a wide variety of other applications including kitchen countertops, desk and table tops, fireplace surrounds and wall cladding.
