From countertops to walls and floors, marble has been used in kitchens throughout the centuries. Since ancient times, this noble stone has proved to be a safe bet when it comes to creating elegant surroundings, irrespective of the decorative styles chosen.
Everyone is familiar with the qualities of marble; it's a compact material that has erratic veining and a unique appearance. It does have its drawbacks, however, and this is especially true when it's used in a kitchen environment. As a relatively porous material, marble is not completely impermeable. This means that it's possible for it to become stained through the absorption of some types of fat, acids and certain cleaning products. So it's best to adopt a prudent approach and to take particular care that it doesn't come into contact with any acids.
Is there a solution that offers both the beauty of marble and an unchanging surface over time? Well, at Cosentino we have two product lines that will amaze you for their aesthetics as well as for some other unique qualities.
First, we'd like to introduce you to our new Silestone Eternal countertops. This series is inspired by some of the world's best known stones, such as Calacatta Gold, Statuario (both white) and Marquina (black). It's also the first Silestone collection we've launched that makes use of our groundbreaking N-Boost technology to provide greater colour intensity and an extraordinary shine. And thanks to the material's water-repellent property, the day-to-day cleaning and maintenance of countertops is now easier than ever.
Another of our designs that's been conceived with the most demanding projects in mind is our Dekton Natural Collection. It features a wide range of models that reproduce the beauty of marble. Examples include our warm Kelya design, based on a black marble with light-coloured veining, and our bright Aura 15 model, which is white and inspired by the famous Italian marbles, Calacatta and Carrara. Dekton is a revolutionary porcelain material with an ultra-compact structure that makes it highly resistant to ultraviolet rays and abrasion, while also providing superior colour stability. This makes it ideal for indoor and outdoor kitchens alike.
