Ariel Silestone Countertop
Ariel Silestone sets soft, cloudy gray veins across a gentle white background, creating a calm, misty look with diffused movement. The understated pattern blends into many design styles, from modern to traditional, and pairs especially well with off-white cabinets and warm neutral walls. Silestone is a low-porosity hybrid surface of minerals and recycled materials that resists stains and scratches and doesn’t need sealing. Ariel comes in a polished finish in 2cm and 3cm thicknesses.

1Product Review
I was carefully looking at a few samples of white countertops and I instantly fell in love with Ariel Silestone. It was the perfect blend of cleanliness with a touch of elegance and sophistication. I used it to create more space around the kitchen (or make it seem like there’s more space). For the final touch, I combined it with off-white cabinets and had my walls painted beige. Simply magnifique.

Yes. Silestone is one of the best-known premium quartz brands, made by Cosentino and backed by a 25-year limited warranty. Ariel is priced per request, and the final cost depends on thickness, edge profile, cutouts, and square footage. Contact Granite Selection for a Chicago-area estimate.
-
Yes. Its low porosity keeps liquids from soaking in, and the surface resists stains, scratches, impacts, and acids from everyday cooking. Daily care is warm water and mild soap, with no sealing needed. The one thing to avoid is placing hot pans directly on the surface, so keep a trivet handy.
-
Silestone is a brand, not a separate material. It belongs to the engineered quartz family, and Cosentino now describes it as a hybrid surface of minerals and recycled materials. In daily use it performs like other premium quartz: nonporous, low-maintenance, and consistent in color and pattern from slab to slab.
