Cosentino, who supply Silestone quartz worksurfaces, have opened a 2,000m2 warehouse in Watford. Previously, all Silestone products were supplied from stocks held in Spain, where the company manufactures the material, but demand is now so high in the UK they needed a warehouse here.

Silestone is available in more than 50 colours and contains Microban antibacterial agent added during manufacture. Now Silestone have also perfected a new finish. It is called Leather and combines a soft, minimally reflective surface with a luxurious appearance as an alternative to highly polished surfaces.
