[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in the process of buying a house with silestone counters... and I did not even KNOW what they were. They looked cheaper than granite to me, and my realtor kept insisting "No, no, these are a step up from granite!" and she's ESL so I had no idea what that meant. So I think most buyers are still looking for granite.[/quote] Silestone is fake granite. The agent was trying to make the sale.[/quote] It is more expensive than granite because it is ground up stone mixed with [b]resin[/b] and doesn't need sealing. I wanted to get Sillestone, but didn't want to pay $700 more for something that didn't look as nice as granite. I like the fact it doesn't need sealing. [/quote] Isn't resin another word for plastic? So ground up stone mixed with plastic is better than a natural material? [/quote]
