They represent the pinnacle of the countertop market and are typically used in kitchens, bathrooms, and bar areas. Granite and Silestone are also used for floor applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Granite countertops are 100% natural and come in an infinite amount of colors, shades and tints. Silestone countertops are manufactured using a quartz aggregate and epoxy resins and is available in several dozen colors. Both Silestone and granite countertops are extremely durable and require little to no maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Granite vs Silestone Countertop Manufacture Process<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Granite is a ubiquitous natural stone that is found throughout the world. Granite is quarried and cut into large slabs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The slabs are then shipped to various granite countertop manufacturers around the globe.

In some cases the granite slabs are cut into tile pieces with thinner thicknesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Silestone countertops on the other hand are fabricated using quartz aggregate and epoxy resins. The quartz aggregate is mixed with the epoxy resin and then formed into various sheet sizes. Once hardened the Silestone is then cut to specific customer requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Granite Countertop Advantages and Disadvantages<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Granite is a natural product that has been used by man for eons. Granite countertops are highly durable. The only concern is that some types of granite are susceptible to staining. However, if the granite countertops are sealed periodically the risk of staining is mitigated significantly.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Granite countertops are also extremely hard and thus will not scratch. Granite countertops will also not scorch if a hot pan or item is placed on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Though granite countertops are expensive they are actually a bit less expensive than Silestone countertops. Also, granite countertops can be purchased in two thicknesses, as well as in tiles. <\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\">\n<div style=\"background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/homeadditionplus-300x250-kitchens.gif') no-repeat top; margin-left: 10px; height: 250px; width: 300px;\">\n<form action=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/UHI-info\/Kitchen-Remodeling-Contractor-Quotes.htm#form\" method=\"get\"><input style=\"width: 80px; margin: 145px 0 0 205px;\" name=\"PC\" size=\"20\" type=\"text\" \/><br \/>\n<input style=\"float: right; background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/homeadditionplus-btn-next.gif'); height: 34px; width: 91px; border: 0px solid #000000; ; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0;\" type=\"submit\" value=\"\" \/><\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Thus there are price points for nearly any consumer who really wants to see granite countertops in their kitchen or bathroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Silestone Countertop Advantages and Disadvantages<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Silestone is manufactured with a natural product, quartz stone. Thus it is almost as natural a product as Granite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Due to the quartz, Silestone sparkles when light is applied directly over it, thus giving it a unique and beautiful look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Silestone is also extremely durable and will not scratch or stain. However, due to the fact that resin is used as a binder in the manufacturing of it, Silestone can potentially scorch if a hot pan or item is placed on it for too long.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Unlike granite there is no maintenance or sealing required with Silestone countertops.
