| Greener & Cleaner

Built in Microban now makes Silestone’s quartz safer and cleaner since it adds a level of protection against microbes not found in other stone surfaces. This protection is found in selected consumer and industrial products around the world. Medical equipment and supplies as well as kids toys and furniture enforce microban nowadays.

Furthermore, National Sanitation Foundation 51 (NSF51) Certification confirms that NSF has tested, assessed and certified Silestone’s under its food equipment program. According to NSF the process includes an annual audit to assure that all the requirements of the standard continue to be met, quality assurance and quality control procedures are followed in fabrication, products are sampled and retested on schedule, and labeling and product literature are true and accurate.

Last, Silestone has been awarded the Greenguard indoor Air Quality Certification. According to the Greenguard Environmental Institute GREENGUARD Certification Program is a third-party verification for low-emitting products. The program identifies specific products that have been tested and continue to be tested to ensure that their chemical and particle emissions meet acceptable indoor air quality pollutant guidelines and standards. This Certification Program is a valuable tool for architects, designers, product specifiers, and purchasing organizations that want to locate, specify, and purchase low-emitting products for indoor environments. The GREENGUARD Certification Program is voluntary and available to all manufacturers and their suppliers.
