Hi Elena, this doesn't look like any of our Silestone colors so it is likely marble. We do, however, have Dekton Aura which has a similar look with the veining but is much more durable than marble!

POLL: What's your kitchen worktop material?

Another vote for Dekton and Sileston Quartz worktops, use them all the time in our projects as so much more forgiving and low maintenance than granite or marble. Agree that Corian is a good option if you have a large island to prevent visible joins, whilst it has other benefits you do need to be very careful when it comes to heat. Vast range of colours and textures in all types nowadays so the type of material shouldn't limit the effect you want to achieve - be that traditional or contemporary. I am always a big advocate that a worktop is an investment, there is no point spending a large sum on a beautiful quality kitchen and then finishing it off with a worktop that won't stand up to time as well as the rest of the room or cheapen the look - I always recommend to go for the best you can afford.

agree with comment above - call Cosentino and they can direct you either to a local kitchen showroom with worktop installed in a colour you are considering or they can tell you where you can view the slabs. i live in Ireland and visited the Cosentino warehouse in Dublin to view slabs - it certainly affected our decision making. we went for lagoon and its great - no problem with staining

@NG sintered stone is like a porcelain and so the edge and the sink cut out will be plain and polished. In the same way any drainer grooves will be plain plus most sintered stone is so thin that the drainer grooves probably aren’t very deep or very effective. Speak to your kitchen designer to find the best option: Over mounted sink with drainer Flush fit sink with drainer Under mounted sink with drainer. Multi level sink with accessories that act as a drainer. Sink and drainer manufactured in the worktop material

Beltrami (Bianco Massa) or Silestone Lagoon worktops?

They are both quartz composites which are engineered stone quartz. In theory they should not differ. Most companies effectively use the same suppliers for quartz which is then imported and re-branded for different companies. We love using quartz and Silestone is a very good one, which we use on projects a lot of the time. Lagoon is available in either a polished suede finish. Prices cannot be directly compared as it rather depends on the quartz supplier and your chosen kitchen showroom and their markup (we never mark up worktops!). If the Silestone turns out to be too expensive your showroom should be able to source an unbranded equivalent. On a recent bathroom project we used Silestone just to cover the cistern for the WC and on a kitchen recently our customer chose Silestone Stella Blanco (see images).
