Silestone Sunlit Days | 2020-2021

Designers: Cosentino, Coral Gables, Florida, USA
Manufacturer: Cosentino, Coral Gables, Florida, USA

Silestone Sunlit Days is the first-ever carbon neutral collection from the quartz surfaces and engineered stone industry.
This milestone, which follows the recent rebranding of Silestone by Cosentino, demonstrates the brand’s commitment to industry-transforming sustainability innovations and leading environmental management that are paramount to Cosentino Group.

Created with the new, exclusive HybriQ® technology by Silestone, its manufacturing process uses 99% reused water, 100% renewable electric energy and a minimum of 20% recycled raw materials in its composition, while significantly reducing the presence of crystalline silica.

With this new composition, the outstanding mechanical and technical performance and timeless beauty of Silestone remain intact.

To supplement these advancements in its manufacturing process, Cosentino has committed to offset all carbon dioxide emissions for the entire lifecycle of the Silestone Sunlit Days Collection through a variety of voluntary offsetting projects with the Voluntary Carbon Market. This initiative is also complemented by a partnership program for the preservation of the seabed.

In addition to its game-changing sustainability, the new collection embraces a bright color narrative that celebrates nature found in the Mediterranean - all inspired by human values and simple, yet profound ways of living.

Each of the five hues (Faro White, Cincel Grey, Arcilla Red, Cala Blue and Posidonia Green) serve as a tribute to the way of life of real people who have found their true essence by the Mediterranean.
The new colors offer a wide range of applications with the potential to serve not only as countertops but also as backsplashes or wall cladding in high-moisture or high-traffic areas.
