silestone quartz

Silestone® is a quartz surface made from top quality raw materials that presents exceptional physical and mechanical features together with unique beauty, ideal for interior decoration. It requires very little maintenance as its unique production process creates a surface with low porosity, which prevents fluid absorption.
Silestone® is the only quartz work surface to include antibacterial protection that ensures the highest degree of hygiene and security.
These guidelines have been developed with you in mind to ensure that you continue to get maximum enjoyment from Silestone Quartz worktop.
Everyday cleaning
On a day to day basis Silestone® simply requires a wipe down with a soft cloth of soap and water to maintain its natural beauty and shine. Regular cleaning and maintenance of Silestone® ‘leather’ finish shall ensure maintenance of its luxurious texture. As polished Silestone® has a low porosity it does not require the application of any worktop sealants and is naturally highly resistant to surface staining from cooking oil, wine, coffee etc.
In the event of any stubborn marks on the polished Silestone® surface, firstly wipe the area clean with warm water and then apply original CIF to the area. Rinse the area with water after cleaning.
Silestone recommends the specifically developed cleaner Q-Force available from London Granite. For marks that harden when they dry (food, gum etc) remove by gently scraping the material off the Silestone® work surface using a blunt plastic blade than wash and remove any residual matter with non abrasive cleaner and warm water.
Any lime-scale or water marks can be removed using household lime-scale remover. Manufacturer’s usage recommendations should be adhered to.
Heat
Silestone® is extremely resistant to heat and can withstand high temperatures for brief periods of time without damage. Although Silestone® is more heat resistant than most other surfaces, all stone can be damaged by sudden and extreme temperature changes especially near the edges.
For this reason we strongly recommend using a trivet or hot pad to protect your Silestone® work surface from extreme heat.
Chemicals to avoid
Avoid exposing your Silestone® work surface to strong chemicals and solvents. Items to avoid include nail polish remover, neat bleach, caustic soda, paint strippers and cleaning solutions that contain trichloroethane or methylene or dimetichlorine. Also avoid highly aggressive cleaning agents like oven/grill cleaners that have high alkaline/Ph levels.
If any of the above contaminates are spilled on the surface rinse off immediately with plenty of water to minimise their effect.

General precautions
Although your SIlestone® work surface is extremely scratch and heat resistant, we recommend that you protect the beauty of your tops by using a chopping board whenever using knives and a hot pad/trivet when using hot pans.
Silestone -A natural beauty
Silestone is the world leader in quartz surfaces. Available in over 100 distinctive through-body colours and textures, Silestone® is ideal for use in a wide variety of applications ranging from work surfaces to tiles, vanity units, bar/reception tops, steptreads, splashbacks, wall cladding etc.

Bookmark and Share Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Diresco produces high quality, cost effective engineered materials.

For most applications, Diresco stone is even better than the most durable natural stone. It is more scratch resistant, waterproof, dimensionally stable and corrosion-resistant and it has outstanding mechanical strength.

This engineered stone can be used without problems in virtually any environment and under the most diverse conditions. It can also be combined perfectly with other materials, such as stainless steel, stone, wood or glass. It is not recommended for use in areas with chlorinated water such as swimming pools or externally in positions with high UV exposure.

The slabs are available in three finishes:
• Polished
• Easy Clean (honed)
• Anticato (shot-blasted – not in all colours)

There is a range of 26 colours, including the seven new colours introduced at the end of 2008 which are proving to be very popular. Diresco are currently installing an additional production line utilising the very latest Breton technology in order to meet demand. This will be operational from the beginning of June 2009.
