NEW YORK, NEW YORK (July, 2011) – Silestone (www.silestoneusa.com), the world leader in quartz surfacing, announces the launch of the Galactic Series, a new color line of earthy hues with a unique speckled patterned finish. The six-color collection is characterized and inspired by the natural movement of stones and galactic rocks, with colors ranging from black, brown, gray, and cream. The Galactic Series finish is created using the latest, innovative technology to offer designers and homeowners more choices in color, depth, and pattern with the exclusive benefits of Silestone natural quartz.

The Galactic Series is available in both the polished finish in the following colors: Black Dragon, a black hue; Seleno, white with speckles; Giallo Nova, a dusty brown; Halley, pebbled cream; Kimbler, a mottled brown; Quasar, cream and gray tones; and Seleno, a light cream with brown flecks.

“The Galactic Series was created for architects, designers, and consumers who want a sophisticated earthy finish for their kitchen or bathroom,” said Lorenzo Marquez, VP of Marketing for Cosentino North America. “The latest technological advancements have allowed us to produce a natural effect, that still embodies all the benefits of quartz – low maintenance, high performance and durability.”

As with all Silestone natural quartz products, the Galactic Series is naturally non-porous and never needs to be sealed. It is easy to clean and has high scratch, stain, and heat resistance. Silestone is also proven to be a cleaner and safer countertop. It offers a unique combination of built-in antimicrobial protection that safely fights the growth of odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew along with the assurance of GREENGUARD certification for clean air quality, and National Sanitation Foundation certification (NSF 51) for safe food preparation.

The Galactic Series retails at $54 - $82 per square foot, depending on thickness and color. It’s available at kitchen and bath dealers and home improvement centers nationwide in 63” x 128” slabs in 1cm, 2cm and 3cm thickness. Silestone Quartz offers a 15-year limited manufacturer’s warranty. For more information on Silestone, visit www.silestoneusa.com.
