Silestone® 15 Year Warranty
Silestone® is the only brand that offers a certified warranty, in writing. Only a global leader could once again draw ahead of the pack and offer a genuine 15-year transferable warranty for Silestone®. RESIDENTIAL LIMITED WARRANTY FOR NORTH AMERICA Cosentino, S.A. warrants to the residential owner-occupants of installed Silestone® quartz surfaces (“Silestone® Surfaces”) that for a period of fifteen (15) years from the date of installation of the Silestone® Surfaces in your single family residential home, that the Silestone® material will be free from manufacturing defects. If a manufacturing defect occurs during the warranty period, Cosentino, S.A. will at its option, repair or replace the defective Silestone® Surfaces.
What this limited 15-year warranty covers:
» This limited transferrable warranty covers Silestone® Surfaces that have been purchased from an Authorized Silestone® Installer or Dealer (“Authorized Installer”) and have been permanently installed in your single family residence by an Authorized Installer.
» This limited transferrable warranty covers products that have been maintained according to the Silestone® Surfaces Care and Maintenance and Integrity Sink Care and Maintenance set forth on www.silestoneusa.com.

» Silestone® Surfaces are stone products which will not crack unless an external force or interaction causes the crack such as impacts, uneven cabinets or flooring, structural settling or movements, thermal shock from the use of crock pots, skillets or other hot items placed directly on the Silestone® Surfaces, improper installation or other conditions in the home that may cause the Silestone® Surfaces to shift. Therefore, cracks are not covered by this warranty. Caution: Do not use crock pots, skillets or other hot items directly on your Silestone® Surfaces.
