Cuarzos (Silestone).- Estos son materiales sintéticos a partir de polvos de cuarzo y resinas sintéticas. Los hay en gran variedad de colores y algunos de ellos con incrustaciones para producir distintos efectos visuales. Podríamos decir que tienen características similares a los granitos pero superiores en ser prácticamente libres de porosidad, total uniformidad en colores y patrones y gran estabilidad frente a cambios en temperatura. Entre sus desventajas está su alto costo y para algunos su apariencia uniformidad les resta “personalidad”. Requieren de instalación profesional.
