The best of nature and technology: minerals and resin combine to create the perfect surface for kitchens and bathrooms. The addition of various color pigments or glitter particles opens up unlimited design options.
Composite is a cast mineral material for interior construction and a popular alternative to natural stone. The mineral content of 93% is responsible for its impressive hardness and cut resistance. The combination with resin and the densification of the mixture under vacuum ensures a homogeneous structure and a closed surface. This, in turn, makes composite particularly acid-resistant and easy to maintain.
The addition of color pigments and glass or glitter particles allows for a variety of available colors and designs. These are partly modeled after the appearance of valuable natural stones. The raw slabs, available in various thicknesses, can be processed similarly to natural stone – from cutting to surface treatment to edge design.
In the composite sector, we rely on the leading manufacturer Cosentino, who has been at the forefront for 30 years. Their product Silestone consists of high-quality minerals and recycled materials. Not only is the remarkable color palette convincing. The revolutionary Hybriq+® technology makes Silestone a particularly sustainable and high-performance mineral composite, thanks to a high content of crystalline silica.
From "Parisien Bleu" to "Concrete Pulse" to "Stellar Blanco" – Silestone offers an attractive selection of variants. From earthy solid colors to shimmering shell structures to artfully veined natural stone imitations, there is something for every style. On request, we also consider other manufacturers when choosing products.

Composite is considered a very hard material and is resistant to scratches and abrasion. Composite is generally less porous than soft stones and therefore more stain-resistant. This makes maintenance and cleaning easier. The only downside is the lower heat resistance of composite: hot pans and pots should not be placed directly on it.
Due to the high-quality production of composite, the entry price per m² is higher than that of natural stone.
The material itself is considered extremely durable, which is generally positive. However, its production requires a lot of energy and resources, and composite is difficult to recycle at the end of its life cycle. Therefore, the market leader Cosentino is constantly striving to improve its production and recycling processes for Silestone with sustainability in mind.
