I have the same question, but about the suede finish in Eco by Cosentino. Cosentino is the company that manufactures Silestone, and Eco is a similar product except with recycled glass, etc., instead of quartz. I don't want a very shiny countertop.

Years ago in another house I installed a laminate counter (probably Wilsonart) that had a matte finish, and I was pleased with it.

Silestone sueded Lagoon is what we're likely installing, too. We fell in love with the sample. It feels great, as well as looks beautiful. Passed the stain/etch test with flying colors.

Would love to hear from someone who's already living with it.

marykh how do you like the installed suede counter so far? I am considering order lagoon suede as well. Do you have any pics?
Thanks,
Martha

We had the Lagoon sueded finish in our last house and loved it. Someone asked me about a warranty waiver but it had the same transferable warranty as polished- we transferred 20 years to new homeowners. I assume they still do that. We had no problem keeping it nice and it really had a great color - just looked like marble.

I have the suede finish in Silestone, White Zeus extreme. I love it, but after living with it for 3 months, I notice that it can stain easily if spills are not wiped up right away. Does any one know what is a good cleaning product to use? They caution against using cleaners with bleach. Any ideas? The stains I have are not obvious ones, but I can tell they are there.

We are about to install the royal reef in suede finish (looks a lot like a matte cement). I'm glad to hear that folks are pleased overall with what they've installed. Annemarie, do you think the staining occurs more easily on yours because of the white color?

Carey did you end up installing the Royal Reef counter tops? That's the color I think I have decided on but I can't find many pictures online to use as examples. I'd love to see a picture of yours if that's what you decided on!

i found that liquid Bar Keepers friend works well on the suede Silestone. i do not have any stains on the counter; they usually go away after repeated cleaning. Our white Blanco silgranit sink seems to hang on to stains more easily than the quartz. I love the white sink and counters but they are higher maintenance.

eer2099, yes! Been in our new home just a few days now. I'll get a pic and post it. Love it so far!

I just now saw the notification for this but yes, please post a picture! I am still debating between the royal reef and the desert silver, I need to decide! lol
