If you're looking at Silestone, you're after engineered stone with top quality, durability and design choice. Here are five other brands well regarded in the UK market.
Caesarstone
One of the biggest names in quartz surfaces, known for an extensive range of high-quality designs – a spectrum of colours and patterns from classic to contemporary, much like Silestone.
Compac
A respected maker of high-quality quartz, with a diverse collection including natural-stone looks. Known for innovation and a commitment to sustainability.
CRL Quartz
A wide selection of quartz worktops in many finishes and colours, known for competitive pricing without sacrificing quality.
Technistone
Engineered stone focused on durability and function, with a range of textures and finishes.
Dekton
Strictly a sintered stone rather than quartz, Dekton is made by Cosentino – the company behind Silestone. It's an ultra-compact surface with exceptional durability, and well worth a look alongside Silestone. See Silestone worktops.
