(Houston July 10) -Utilizing a new five-dimensional color process, the Silestone® Mountain™ Series premieres quartz surfacing with more depth, richness and clarity. This series features the durability and strength of quartz surfacing, with a superior distribution of color that rivals quarried stone without ever having to be sealed.

Inspired by the mountains of the world, the new series embraces the beauty of rock formations, gold mines and mountain peaks with a natural beauty and refinement.

"Silestone"s new Mountain Series makes a very impressive design statement that can accentuate any space without overwhelming its surroundings," said James Babineaux, Vice President of Marketing, Cosentino North America. "It is a luxurious choice for residential or commercial applications, adding warmth and character."

The Five-Dimensional Colors in the Mountain Series are:

Black Canyon-reminiscent of the sophisticated rock formations that grace the Grand Canyon, this color has a strong mix of black shades with varying grey, brown and beige hues.

Giallo Quarry-inspired by minerals found in gold mines, this color showcases an assortment of yellow and brown hues accented with black for increased depth.

Sienna Ridge-evoking the mystique of the Great Smoky Mountains, this color contains a collage of brown hues flecked with cream and black shades.

"Since it is non-porous natural quartz, the Silestone Mountain Series makes it simple to obtain the lure of the most popular stone countertops and vanities without the maintenance," said Babineaux. "An added bonus is the fact that Silestone is the only countertop with built-in Microban antimicrobial product protection that keeps countertops cleaner and fresher all of the time."

All Silestone products offer built-in Microban antimicrobial protection. Microban safely deters the growth of odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew for cleaner, fresher countertops 24/7 for the life of the product. Microban protection does not protect users from foodborne illnesses and is not a substitute for normal cleaning practices. Silestone® by Cosentino® is the largest producer and distributor of natural quartz in the world and maker of the fastest growing countertop surface, Silestone. Quartz is one of the hardest minerals on earth, making Silestone naturally scratch-resistant.

Silestone is non-porous and therefore highly stain-resistant without needing to be sealed. Silestone has four times the flexural strength of granite, making it less susceptible to chipping, cracking or breaking. With nearly 50 colors and innovative products for every room in the house, Silestone sets the standard for the quartz surfacing industry. Silestone is the ONLY countertop to have built-in Microban antimicrobial protection that inhibits the growth of microbes such as bacteria, mold and mildew. Silestone is produced in Spain by Cosentino, a leader in natural stone with more than 70 years of industry experience. Silestone is available coast-to-coast through a mature network of distributors, Certified Silestone Installers, more than 3,500 retail outlets and online at e-counters.com.
