What surface is the countertop?

14 years ago
Looks likes Silestone, I am considering Silestone Cemento for my kitchen and would love to find someone who has done it. Also looking for less expensive alternative.

    The countertop is corian. The dark color shows scratches easily. Wish I would have known. I'm living with it, but wouldn't recommend it.

      could be Caeserstone "Blue Lagos". I currently have it in my kitchen and it looks very similar.

      Thanks for the feedback. I wonder if you contacted Corian if they would have any suggestions.

      I contacted the company that made and installed it. Their response was basically that is what dark corian does. I have to pay them to come out and sand / buff when I get tired of the scratches.

      Hmm-- would have been nice to know that ahead of time...

      npnorcini: I am considering Silestone Cemento, as well, formy kitchen. I was wondering if you went with a different stone/color. If you used Cemento, are you happy with your choice? Thanks in advance!

      Hi there! Love the lights in this space, and don't think they are from Barn Electric (they look a little different)...would you mind sharing the real resource? Thanks much
