Silestone vs. Granite: How to Choose

If you're looking for a very natural kitchen or bathroom countertop, granite will be your best choice. Granite countertops will last a relatively long time without absorbing scratches and dents, and the natural stone colors and textures can stay in line with modern home trends. Professional installation is the best option to avoid breaking and cracking, and most builders will be able to complete installation within a few hours.

A quartz silestone or compacstone countertop is ideal for the modern kitchen, offering a contemporary look and structure with attractive marble-like details. You will need a contractor to install silestone countertops due to the risk of damage during self-installation. Most contractors also offer limited warranties on silestone countertops, so it may be helpful to research a variety of brands.

Choosing the right look for your kitchen or bathroom can be challenging, but starting with the focal point can help you create the room of your dreams. Countertops need to be scratch-resistant and sturdy to maintain a fresh look year after year. Both silestone and granite countertops offer several advantages over classic materials, and you can make the right choice by reviewing colors, texture, stain-resistant abilities and installation options.
