Silestone quartz countertops
in Vancouver, BC
Find a Silestone colour and finish that work with your cabinetry, tile and lighting. We help plan the layout, seams and edges and quote supply and installation for kitchens, islands and vanities across the Lower Mainland.
01 · The surface
What is Silestone?
Silestone is Cosentino’s hybrid mineral surface collection for projects such as indoor kitchens and bathroom vanities. Its designs range from consistent whites to concrete-inspired patterns and marble-style veining. Compare the finish as well as the colour. The amount of reflected light changes how the counter looks next to your cabinets and backsplash.
For a wider comparison of surfaces, see our countertop materials guide.
02 · Colour selection
Three Silestone colours to compare.
Bring a cabinet door and tile sample when you view colours. Compare their undertones first. If you’re considering a strong vein, look at the full slab pattern before choosing where the seams or waterfall edges will go.
White Zeus
A bright, consistent white. Hold it next to your cabinet and backsplash samples to see how the whites work together.
See White ZeusNolita
Pale grey detail with a concrete-inspired look. Consider it with natural timber or a low-contrast tile.
See NolitaEthereal Glow
Gold and grey veins over a softened white base. View the full slab to see where the veins could run across an island.

The colour bands illustrate tone. We confirm the selected finish, thickness and slab availability for your project.
03 · Finish and fit
Polished or Suede?
Polished
A glossy finish that reflects window and pendant light. Tilt the sample under the lighting you’ll use to see how the reflections change.
Suede
A matte finish with a soft texture. Compare it with your cabinet sheen and tile glaze. Finish options vary by design.
Edges, seams and backsplashes
Confirm which edges will show, where seams can land and whether the backsplash will match the slab. If you prefer tile, we can include kitchen backsplash installation in the project scope.
04 · The written quote
What affects the cost of a Silestone countertop?
