Do it Yourself: Re: [DIY] Silestone.

Re: [DIY] Silestone.

We've had Silestone for over 10 years and haven't had any problems with heat however common sense prevails. Any

very hot item on a cold surface can affect it so we make it a habit of putting a hot pad down before

putting anything directly out of the oven or burners on the surface.

Having said that, our daughter has "accidentally" put a hot pan on the counter and nothing happened. We really like it. Low

maintenance (like zero) unlike granite which requires a sealer periodically and Silestone comes in just about any color you can imagine.
