Houston, April 20, 2007--Silestone Quartz countertops are not only clean, safe and green, but they also offer a sense of inner peace. Well, at least the new Zen Series has the name. This Silestone color series of five peaceful colors transcends the ordinary countertop color spectrum with a subtle plum color, two warm browns, a deep gray and several fresh shades of white.

Enlighten Your Designs with the new Zen Series
"This new Zen Series contains small aggregates creating a solid, modern surface," says Lisa Morales, Cosentino art director. "The colors will flow nicely with a minimalist design and are very soft on the eyes. They can enlighten a living space."
Zen colors include: Satori, Haiku, Koan, Unsui and Gedatsu.
The Zen Series colors are not only sleek and clean, but so is the Silestone Quartz. Leading the movement towards cleaner, safer surfacing materials, the Silestone brand has been awarded GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certification from the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute.
This Certification means that Silestone Quartz emits low-to-no-emissions (off gassing) of toxic chemicals into the indoor environment. Incorporating products such as Silestone Quartz surfacing can help reduce the level of harmful indoor air pollutants in your home.
Silestone is the only countertop with the combination of GREENGUARD Certification, built-in Microban protection and NSF 51 Certification for food preparation areas, making Silestone a cleaner, safer countertop.
The color series is in the D color group with prices starting at $55/SF installed.
