question - caesarstone island and marble or quartzite perimeter
Comments (2)I live in a house with a light perimeter and dark island. I don't like the kitchen, but I do like this detail-- it's one of the only things I like! I'm considering doing the same thing on my new kitchen, too....See MoreAny feedback on Caesarstone Concrete?
Comments (41)Care and Maintenance Honed, Concrete and Rough surfaces may require additional daily and weekly care. Due to the nature of the surface design, it is recommended that common household spills like liquid droplets and rings are dried immediately. As with any matte product, owners of Concrete, Honed and Rough finishes may experience seeing an increase in smudges from everyday living. Weekly, the surface should be cleaned with Soft Scrub Liquid Gel with Bleach and thoroughly dried. We encourage you to order a sample of our products that you are considering. When you receive your sample, try treating it to a few different scenarios that you may face in your kitchen; spill something on it, touch it with greasy fingers, clean it. This will help you understand how the surface responds to your daily life and how comfortable you feel with it.

Comments (8)Do you have kids? Cook/prep a lot? Although concrete is an awesome look I typically only specify it for projects where the kitchen is used more for look and less for actual use, i.e. bachelor pads. Concrete can crack and is easily susceptible to stains but if you use cutting boards, clean up any messes quickly and wax monthly to ensure the sealant is effective, concrete is manageable. Caeserstone in particular does a great job ensuring functional design to their product line!...See MoreMatt effect quartz (Silestone/caesarstone)
Comments (34)At my last house I had Caesarstone Raven which is a smoky gray with hints of misty white running through it. It was beautiful and I loved it so much I'm actually thinking about getting it again in my current house. I compared it with a lot of different colors, and the color is just right- not too brown not too cold. However last time I made the mistake of getting it honed and it smudged constantly. I did wash it multiple times a day but it was ridiculously difficult to get smudges out. Everything made it smudge. After trying mfg recommendations, I constantly ended up having to do something the manufacturer said not to do and use other solvents to try to get smudges out. It was really bad when the Sun lit up the area. Now I'm actually thinking about getting Caesarstone Raven without a matte finish in my current home but I'm wondering if I would be better off trying to find a Silestone equivalent color. So far I haven't been able to do that. I like the charcoal soapstone in silestone but it has blue undertones and looks a bit too cold. Any good recommendation for a smoky gray that's not too cold or too warm so it ends up looking brown?...See MoreAqua Kitchen and Bath Design Center
