Silestone Blanco Norte

Silestone Blanco Norte

Silestone Blanco Norte is a great option for anyone looking to create a light-filled kitchen that’s fresh and clean as well as being exceptionally hygienic.

The character of Silestone Blanco Norte comes from a pale background that’s complemented by flecks of natural brown. This softens the white and gives the material a hint of texture and depth. When used for kitchen worktops, it brightens up the room and creates a modern feel.

Silestone Blanco Norte is as practical a choice as it is an aesthetic one.  It’s made from one of the toughest materials in the world, which means it can endure most culinary tasks without damage. It’s also scorch-resistant, so while you shouldn’t place your pans directly onto your worktop, it can withstand limited exposure to strong heat. This is supported by a ten-year warranty from the manufacturer.

Silestone quartz worktops are also non-porous, which means that stains or odours won’t be able to cling to the surface. Germs are also banished, thanks to its natural antimicrobial properties. This means that when your kitchen worktop looks clean, it really is.

Silestone Blanco Norte is an easy surface to maintain, and it can stay bright and white for many years with simple surface cleaning with soap and water on a regular basis. If you do spill something, it should be cleaned immediately by wiping with a soft, wet cloth. This is to make sure that things like grease, coffee, or fruit juices, don’t stain. If you have a stubborn stain, just soak the area for 10 minutes then use a mild household cleaner with a soft Scotch Brite® pad to clean away.

The worktop is so strong that it’s scratch-resistant, but it’s not indestructible. This means you should always use chopping boards to prevent any accidents. If you’re worried about scratches, choosing a light colour like Silestone Blanco Norte means any small scratches are less likely to show.

If you’d like your Silestone Blanco Norte to be smooth and reflective – and even easier to maintain – you can choose a polished finish. If you prefer a bit of texture and a softer look, you can choose the suede finish. For a more marked feel, Silestone’s volcano finishes adds a subtle micro-dimpling that makes it ideal for contemporary kitchens.

To further customise your Silestone Blanco Norte worktop, you can choose the kind of edge that you’d like. If you want to soften the look of your kitchen worktop, you can have the edges rounded with bullnose or dove chest edges. If you’d prefer a more defined edge, a mitred or bevelled edge is the best option. Just be sure to avoid sharp edges, because these are more prone to chipping.

Silestone Blanco Norte can be used for many things besides kitchen worktops. For example, you can use this material for an integrated sink, or as a backsplash, or for wall panels and flooring. It’s also a great option for the bathroom, where it can be used for floors, sinks and walls.
