Low-Silica Silestone XM Countertops
Two Key Improvements in Silestone XM Countertops
- Safer for workers doing fabrication (cutting) and installation. Less silica means less dust.
Silestone XM’s Hybriq technology creates a surfaces material with a maximum 10% of crystalline silica content, while maintaining performance and finishes. This technology has been accredited by DNV (Det Norske Veritas) in Norway, which certifies the compliance of companies according to a third-party standard, such as ISO 9001 (quality management system) or ISO 14001 (environmental management system).Â
- Silestone XM countertops are more environmentally friendly because they are made sustainably from recycled content.
Silestone XM countertops are made using Hybriq technology that employs a minimum of 20% of recycled materials in a process that uses 99% reused water and 100% renewable electric energy.
Touted But Not Really Improvements On Regular Silestone
- Silestone XM are durable by being resistant to scratches, chips, and stains compared to traditional natural stone.
- The countertop surface is lower maintenance than natural stone because they are less porous, don’t need sealing, and easier to clean.
- Deliver a more consistent appearance because they are engineered to have color and patterns from top to bottom and side to side.
- Resistant to harsh chemicals in harsh or acidic cleaning products.
- Withstands heat but not impervious to burns from extremely hot pots or pans.
Performance of Silestone XM Countertops
- Two finishes to choose from, polished or suede, that can transform any space into a radiant or subtle environment.
- Silestone XM also boasts the 25-year warranty that ensure the countertop surface looks as good as new for decades.
- The low porosity of Silestone XM prevents stains from acids in commonly used cleaning products.
