One family-owned maker, five distinct surfaces
Cosentino is a family-owned Spanish company that makes and distributes premium countertop surfaces. For countertops it leads with three brands — Silestone quartz, Dekton ultra-compact stone, and Ēclos, a mineral surface launched in 2025. Alongside those it sells two natural stone lines, Sensa and Scalea.
Each behaves differently in heat, sunlight, and daily wear, so the right pick depends on how you actually cook and live — a point that matters more than most showroom brochures admit. Buying all of them from one supplier keeps color matching and ordering simple when a kitchen uses more than one surface.
The surfaces we sell & install
What each Cosentino line does best
Same supplier, very different materials. Here is where each one earns its place in your home.
Silestone
Cosentino's quartz line and its most popular countertop by far. A hybrid mineral surface made with HybriQ+ technology — non- porous, around 7 on the Mohs scale, low crystalline silica content. It never needs sealing and wipes clean with soap and water. Indoors only: sunlight can fade it over months, so keep it out of uncovered outdoor kitchens.

Dekton
Cosentino's sintered surface, built for the jobs quartz can't handle. Heat, UV, and scratches barely touch it — the one Cosentino line rated for outdoor kitchens, pool surrounds, and full sun. Thicknesses run from a slim 4mm to a heavy 30mm.
Two honest notes: Dekton takes ~2.5× longer to cut and fit than Silestone and needs certified tools, so installer skill counts. Solid colors can be repaired when chipped, but patterned Dekton is printed on top — a deep chip shows and can't be hidden.

Ēclos
Cosentino's newest brand, launched October 2025 as a fresh category the company calls an inlayered mineral surface. Its Inlayr technology layers the design through the body of the slab with robotic precision, so veining reads with real depth and keeps going through cut edges. The first collection, Eclectic Veins, carries six to ten colors and uses a minimum of 50% recycled material — some colors near 88%. Made for indoor countertops, rolling into the US through 2026.

Sensa & Scalea
Sensa is Cosentino's natural granite and quartzite, treated with a stain-resistant coating that sets it apart from raw granite. The treatment carries a 15-year stain warranty and skips the yearly resealing untreated granite needs. Every slab is one of a kind, with veining no manufactured surface copies exactly.
Scalea sits beside it as Cosentino's untreated natural stone, with 200+ color options — though it stays porous and needs regular sealing. For a real-stone look with less upkeep, Sensa is the easier of the two.
Integrity sinks
One-piece Silestone sinks, no joint at all
Integrity is Silestone’s integrated sink, molded from the same material as your counter so the bowl and top form a single piece. Fewer joints means fewer places for water and grime to sit — more hygienic and easy to wipe down.
Kitchen models include ONE, DUE, XL, and Top; the bathroom range adds rounded styles like Zoe Top. Dekton offers integrated sinks too, while Sensa and Ēclos sinks are made to order.

What they cost
How much do Cosentino countertops cost?
Price depends on the line, design group, thickness, edge profile, and how many cutouts your layout needs. As a rough installed guide for the Chicago suburbs:

A typical suburban kitchen runs 30 to 45 sq ft of counter, so most Cosentino jobs land in the low-to-mid four figures for material and installation together. Waterfall edges, thick mitered fronts, and full-height backsplashes push that higher. We quote the full number after measuring — nothing surprises you at the end.
Which fits your kitchen?
Silestone vs Dekton vs Ēclos
It comes down to where the counter goes and how much heat and sun it faces.
Pick
Silestone
For a low-maintenance indoor kitchen with the widest color range and the lowest entry price.
Pick
Dekton
For outdoor kitchens, sunny rooms, or a cook who sets hot pans down without thinking.
Pick
Ēclos
For an indoor kitchen where zero- silica sourcing, direct-heat tolerance, and deep layered veining matter most.
Prefer real stone?
Sensa is the natural-granite answer, with far less sealing than raw granite. Most of our Buffalo Grove customers land on Silestone for the main kitchen and add Dekton where heat or sun is a factor. There's no single best surface — only the one that matches the room.

Worth knowing
5 things to plan for
–
Silestone and Sensa resist heat but can crack from sudden temperature swings — trivets are a must.
–
Chips and cracks aren't always covered, and patterned Dekton chips can't be hidden.
–
Silestone fades in direct sun and isn't made for outdoor kitchens.
–
Premium surfaces sit above laminate and basic granite on price.
–
Ēclos is brand-new, so colors and stock are still limited while it rolls out.
Why installation decides the outcome
Warranty claims get denied over installation and heat, not bad slabs
A wrong seam over an unsupported span, a rushed cutout, or a Dekton slab handled with the wrong tools can crack months later and fall outside coverage. Who cuts and sets your stone matters as much as the brand.
One in-house crew
The same team that levels your cabinets fits the stone on top — no handoff to a subcontractor.
Correct tools & seams
Certified cutting for Dekton and careful seam placement over supported spans — the details that prevent late cracks.
Warranty registered
We register your Silestone within the six-month window — a step plenty of buyers miss, which quietly drops coverage to a few years.

FAQs About Cosentino Countertops
What countertop brands does Cosentino make?
For countertops Cosentino leads with three surface brands — Silestone (quartz), Dekton (ultra-compact stone), and Ēclos (a mineral surface launched in 2025). Alongside those it sells two natural stone lines, Sensa and Scalea. We sell and install all of them.
What is the Cosentino Integrity sink?
Integrity is a one-piece Silestone sink formed from the same material as the counter, so there is no joint at all between sink and surface — nothing to catch crumbs or fail over time.
What does the Cosentino warranty cover, and how do I keep it?
Silestone carries a 25-year warranty and Sensa carries 15 years of stain protection, both when registered. Warranty claims are most often denied over installation and heat damage, not defective slabs — which is exactly why we measure, cut, and install with our own crew rather than subcontracting.
What is low crystalline silica, and is it safe?
Crystalline silica is the dust risk created when engineered stone is cut. Silestone is made with HybriQ+ technology and has low crystalline silica content, while Ēclos is a zero-silica mineral surface. Both answer current safety concerns. Cutting is done by our own trained crew with the proper controls.
Where can I buy Cosentino countertops, and what is Cosentino City?
Cosentino City is the brand’s own design showroom network. You can see and order every line through us at our Buffalo Grove showroom, with measuring, fabrication, and installation handled in-house across the northwest Chicago suburbs.
Which is better for a kitchen: Silestone, Dekton, or Sensa?
It depends on where the counter goes. Silestone suits a low-maintenance indoor kitchen and offers the widest color range at the lowest entry price. Dekton is the pick for outdoor kitchens, sunny rooms, or a cook who sets hot pans down without thinking. Sensa is natural stone with 15 years of stain protection, priced by the slab.
How much do Cosentino countertops cost in the Chicago suburbs?
Installed, Silestone runs about $60–$140 per square foot and Dekton about $75–$120; Sensa is priced by the slab and Ēclos is quoted on request. A typical suburban kitchen of 30–45 sq ft lands in the low-to-mid four figures for material and installation together.
How do you clean and maintain Cosentino countertops?
Most lines never need sealing and clean with soap and water. Silestone is non-porous and wipes clean; avoid abrasive pads and harsh alkaline cleaners. Natural stone lines follow standard stone care.
Is Ēclos available yet?
Ēclos launched in 2025 and is still rolling out, so colors and stock are limited. Ask us for current availability — we price it as it reaches the US market.
Can you put a hot pan on Cosentino countertops?
Dekton and Ēclos take direct heat — Ēclos is rated to 428°F. Silestone and Sensa resist heat but can crack from sudden temperature swings, so trivets are a must on those two.
