As we become increasingly aware of our carbon footprints, larger numbers of us are seeking products that support the circular economy. This is particularly pertinent when redesigning or renovating our homes.
With all of the exciting style options to consider, sustainability is also a key factor in the decision-making process. Thankfully, it’s no longer a choice between the two. It is becoming possible to achieve sustainable style. And Cosentino just brought this a step closer for those planning a kitchen or bathroom renovation, with its beautiful new Silestone® Sunlit Days carbon neutral surface series.
Inspired by the natural hues of the Mediterranean, Silestone® Sunlit Days is made with pioneering HybridQ+® technology and offered in Faro White, Cincel Grey, Arcilla Red, Cala Blue and Posidonia Green.
Not only does this high-performance blend of premium minerals, quartz and recycled glass offer the same timeless beauty and high resistance to scratches, stains, UV rays and heat as other Silestone surfaces, it is made with 100% renewable electric energy, 99% recycled water and a minimum of 20% recycled raw materials.
As well as scoring high on sustainability, this new mineral composition has aesthetic benefits in the way of added textures, tones and richness in the depth of colour of these elegant engineered stone surfaces, thanks to Cosentino’s innovative production methods.
Whether you love colour and character or calm neutrals, Silestone® Sunlit Days makes an ideal choice of surface in the kitchen for worktops, breakfast bars, island wrap arounds and splashbacks. Mix it with other materials or opt for integrated sinks and flooring as well, if you love the visual serenity of seamless surfaces.
It’s a popular choice for bathrooms, shower rooms and cloakrooms too. Here Silestone® Sunlit Days is a stylish choice for vanity surfaces, washbasins and showertrays. In addition, walls, floors and furniture can be coordinated and clad in tones and styles to suit.
Whatever your project, choosing a world-leading carbon neutral surface will contribute to a successful, stylish and sustainable scheme.
Silestone starts from £450 per sq m, cosentino.com
