Pietra
Pietra: characterized by its small bluish veins, this light-surfaced quartz holds several tones that give it a unique effect.
Silestone Pietra bets on a warm cream-white background adorned with fine marble-look veining, available in a polished or matte suede finish. Versatile, it pairs as well with classic cabinetry as with contemporary kitchens and bathrooms, from clean white to natural wood. A non-porous quartz that resists stains and wear, designed to carry through the years without losing its lustre.
Key features
Silestone Pietra presents a light, luminous background crossed by fine veins in delicate shades, which recall natural stone without imposing its contrast. The colour comes in a polished finish, brighter, and a suede finish, with a pleasant matte softness to the touch.
Made with Cosentino's HybriQ+ technology, this non-porous quartz resists everyday stains, scratches and knocks without ever requiring a sealant. Slabs are available in 2 cm and 3 cm thicknesses, in a format of roughly 128 in. x 63 in.
Why choose Pietra
Pietra is for anyone who wants movement in their countertop without the pronounced veining of a Calacatta: its discreet veins add depth while staying easy to match. It is a safe choice for a heavily used family kitchen, where the surface has to absorb the routine of meals without showing wear. Like every Silestone installed in Canada, it is covered by a 25-year residential warranty.
Pietra in your kitchen
In a kitchen, Pietra pairs as well with white or greige cabinetry as with light wood, with matte black or brushed nickel fixtures to underline its veining. Carry it onto the backsplash for an enveloping effect, or use it as a bathroom vanity, where its suede finish is particularly flattering.
