Silestone is becoming more and more popular, and many people that used to get granite counter tops are switching over to something that is a bit better in certain aspects.

What is the difference between Silestone and Granite?

Silestone is a lot more durable, and also comes with a warranty that doesn't require any maintenance. On the other hand Granite does require regular maintenance, and also comes with no warranty or any assurance of not having troubles.
