Corian Nero Soapstone?
Comments (14)@Catt Combs as I have indicated, we have matte quartz and this has not been an issue for us. It is very warm and humid where we are and this morning I laid my sweaty hand on the counter, leaving behind finger marks. Within less than a minute they were gone having dried. When I wipe my counters down with just water any marks are gone and the counter dries on it's own with no streak marks. I have under counter lighting as well as a lot of natural daylight and that's not been a problem for showing marks either. I do suspect however that you may see more marks with any counter that has more uniform colour. The more variation you have in your slab the less you will see any marks (mine has a very faint mottling to the colour). Also, Silelestone calls their finish "suede" and it has the faintest sheen to it which may also make a difference. I have seen other matte finishes that are more flat so maybe it's the NBoost that makes the difference.(in actuality my counters are lighter than this as you see in the above photo)....See MoreDoes anyone have Silestone Charcoal Soapstone, suede?
Comments (27)Thanks everyone for taking time to share your experience and pics. We are just about to order charcoal soapstone Silestone... dithering on gloss vs. suede. We are very messy and although I love the matte look... thinking polish is more sensible for us. We are doing white perimeter cabinets (BM Swiss coffee) with a dark stained island/Silestone White Storm counter for that. Hmmm... I think White Storm is available as Polished finish only. Do you think the perimeter and island countertops be the same finish? (either matte or polish?)...See MoreDoes anyone have two different quartz colors in kitchen?

Comments (13)Hi Anke. We went for white silestone in kitchen and bathrooms. They’re wearing v well although it takes vigilance to keep the stains away. Only major downside is they’re not massively heat resistant- can’t put saucepans or hot objects on them, unlike marble, so we’re using lots of heat mats as needs be. They look great but if I was doing it all again, I think I’d probably pick a surface that I can rest hot cooking pots etc on....See Morerobingg
