Get the Beautiful Look of Marble, Without the Environmental Cost
Love the luxe look of marble but worry about its upkeep and eco cred? There's an engineered stone that ticks every box

Marble, with its organic form and beautiful veining, is a high-end material that brings an undeniable touch of luxury to a home, be it a bathroom, bedroom or kitchen. But it comes at a cost – to the homeowner and the environment. The new Silestone by Cosentino Ethereal Collection is a game changer in engineered stone. Not only does it showcase the inexplicably fine veining of real marble, at least 20 percent of its composition is made of recycled materials, and its manufacture is entirely fuelled by renewable energy and recycled water.
Read on to learn how this exciting new range can add both elegance and eco appeal to your home.

Silestone Ethereal Glow
When it comes to adding a sense of luxury to your home, marble is hard to beat. But natural stone does have its drawbacks – it’s porous and requires ongoing upkeep, which can be an inconvenience in busy homes. Plus, marble is not the most environmentally friendly of materials. The extraction and production process turns a huge proportion of the raw material into waste, while guzzling up copious amounts of water and energy. It’s also heavy and cumbersome to transport and install.
The new Silestone by Cosentino Ethereal Collection offers an appealing alternative. This high-performance engineered stone comes in four stunning, intricately veined marble tones in a material that is durable, non-porous, stain-, scratch- and impact-resistant – and never requires sealing.

Silestone Ethereal Noctis
The surfaces in the Silestone Ethereal Collection feature HybridQ+ technology. This is a new production process and product composition that means they are made with a minimum of 20-percent-recycled materials, such as glass, and the manufacture process is entirely fuelled by renewable energy and recycled water. So you know that what you’re choosing for your home isn’t just beautiful, but gentle on the environment.
Straightforward installation is another plus. The surfaces are lightweight and quick to install, and come in jumbo-size slabs of up to 320x158 centimetres in size so you can create a seamless, join-free finish across benchtops, sidings, features walls and more.
