Cosentino’s core values resonate with mine. Their commitment to sustainability, innovation and family business are key values that I respect,”

quipped Maddison on his partnership with Cosentino.

 

As a practitioner who has a good industry overview, Maddison highlighted his observation on how people are increasingly wanting to embed the notion of environmental living in their day-to-day activities. He shared his love for Cosentino and its products, singling out the evolution of Silestone which now features the company’s ground-breaking HybriQ+ technology. With HybriQ+ technology, the new Silestone now contains up to 20% recycled materials and lower silica* levels.

Calling the new Silestone a ‘super Silestone’, Maddison adds,

“With the new Silestone with HybriQ+ technology, you get an impressive product that is not only kinder to Mother Nature, but one that is made with much lesser crystalline silica* which is better for the health and safety of those who work with the materials such as stonemasons and fabricators.”
