MUST-HAVE: Cosentino's Quartz Countertops

February 10, 2015 in Shopping, Designing

ARTICLE IMAGES VIA: Silestone USA , Chasen West , and Frank Advertising

Cosentino supplied the countertops for the three penthouses we toured while at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), and there was a lot of natural stone AND man-made material beauty to go around.

Here are some of the natural stone counters that were featured:

Another new, standout product Cosentino introduced: "Dekton".

Dekton is a sophisticated mixture of raw materials that includes glass, the latest generation of porcelain tiles, and quartz surfaces. 

Dekton comes in three thicknesses — one of which is a huge 126” x 56” that's basically indestructible. It has the most scratch resistant surface on the market, withstands high temperatures without cracking or scorching, is non-combustible, and frost-proof. You can even use this product outdoors!

One of its most notable colorways is Aura, a white marble look-alike. This product can be book-matched for an even more realistic appearance. It was used in the penthouses on the wall, surrounding a fireplace. Quite remarkable, I'd say.

Let's take a look at what they had on display in one of the penthouses...
