ECO is a series within our Silestone line, so the durability and features are the same. Otherwise the qualities and performance are the same. So glad to hear that it is basically the same product. It is absolutely stunning. White diamond it is! Thank you all for the fast feedback! I'm in the same predicament and would love to know if you are glad you went with this product.
All reviews and posts are old. I did! It is lovely BUT it's not perfect. I opted for the eased edge, and it chips more easily than I like less than a year and I've already got two tiny chips along the edge. Also there are spots where the glass bits don't aren't quite solid on the flat surface--you can feel the nudges and it's just not totally smooth the way other products are.
I still absolutely love it, but I don't know if it will hold up as long as other countertops at similar price points. All that said, however: It is absolutely stunning: Bright, casual, and the unpredictable pattern of the glass is something that I really likeevery so often I'll find a fleck of a particularly different color, and it makes me so happy. Also, and while their are a few tiny chips happening along the edge, you really can't see them because they are well camouflaged there are also spots along the edge that LOOK like chips, but aren't chips at all I might recommend a bullnose edge with it, as I think they are a bit less likely to chip.
FYI, I paired it with black stained oak cabinets and a white tile backsplash, and the result is really, really nice.
Lots of contrast and a very casual feel. I don't have any regrets--I embrace things being a little wabi-sabi. Do Not Buy Eco cosentino countertops! I have had eco cosentino countertops for three years and they are completely discolored by the sink. I have been back and forth with the company and they basically said a chemical reaction from water molecules has damaged the resin. So if you plan on having a sink in your kitchen or bath Don't buy these countertops!
My installer filed on our behalf and has now informed me three other people have called with similar complaints. I can not help but wonder if you are one of them. This product clearly cannot handle water and should not be sold. The company does not warranty their product.
Cannot stress enough: Do Not buy these countertops. We were planning to order ECO starlight black with flecks but are discouraged by the negative reviews. We have a huge counter sq ft with two sinks and the issues with staining and fading and lack of customer support are unacceptable. What colors did you buy that faded? We are in the process of buying our countertops and choose Forest Snow. I'm super excited about the recycled glass but just saw these reviews and now I'm scared.
Do you have pictures of the fading? Thank you so much for your reviews! I fell in love with a sample of ECO Luna! Matches our new cabinets, flooring, everything perfect in our kitchen. Once I realized this wasn't a quartz product I became wary and decided to come here for some insights-- I am ever thankful that I did! Now, to figure a quartz similar to ECO Luna-- anyone have suggestions for buying a decent quartz counter-top for kitchen? I am so thankful that we wandered here. Fell in love with Riverbed.
Thank goodness we have fallen out of love. Restart, focusing on non-Silestone quartz. We have eco 'white diamond' it is horrible. Pitted, glass popping out and major staining. It used to be bright white,which I loved. We are 6 yrs in so I contacted the warranty department of Cosentino, the company that makes the product. I submitted the warranty papers twice e and was denied twice because we have a very small window in our kitchen??
Second submission they blamed water!! I am still wondering who has no window over their kitchen sink and no water in their kitchen?
Our town has very good water. I should mention it is only my husband and I in our home. No children and we are 'neatnix' who purchased this because we were sold on ecos durability, lengthy warranty and not needing to seal the product. I have been working with Home depot to remedy but nothing has come of it. It has been a run around since September of My very gently used counters look dull, darkened in areas and surface scratches which must be the recycled product breaking down as we have never cut on it.
Only used cutting boards. If simple water and sunlight will destroy this product I would advise not using in a kitchen. My island is low, extended flush and is gorgeous!
My kids and I live at this bar. I use hot pads when putting a hot pan on it. I also wipe up spills and water immediately. As I mentioned above, I paint and this surface has help up to my tough projects and mess. I use Norwex clothes in my kitchen and they really make the counters sparkle! As with any investment, you have to take care of it. Do not, I repeat, throw your money away on this product!! I have the black with sparkles in it.
They may have quit making this eco quartz. One year in it started to look like white dust under the surface around the sink. I have only had mine for 3yrs now. What good is a countertop that is ruined by water? This company should be sued. What in the world? I was considering purchasing this product. Has anyone had any issues with the regular Silestone product? Has the company responded to the complaints on this post. Sounds like there may have been a defective batch for a while.
Who would sell a product that would be destroyed by sun and water? Perhaps we should go with Cambria. Anyone have experience with them? Good luck. I think I should file a complaint with better business. All I can say is the company is horrible, no help and does not stand by their warranty. After a lot of checking we also went with the Eco by Cosentino Black Starlight, purchase through Lowes and installed by It was beautiful when installed by Stone Systems of South Florida.
After 8 years we are so upset of how this environmentally safe product pits and fades I started a warranty claim. ECO by Cosentino uses products that have reached the end of their lifecycle — this means materials being used in ECO by Cosentino cannot be incorporated in to any other industrial product that would otherwise collect in landfills. ECO by Cosentino surfaces are low in porosity and do not need sealing making cleaning easy.
ECO by Cosentino will use the equivalent of K sq ft of ceramic material yearly. To remove difficult spills, soak the area for 10 minutes with a gentle pH-balanced house cleaner or regular soap and water. Then rinse and clean away with a soft cloth. For stains that harden as they dry, such as food and gum, remove by gently scraping off the surface using a blade or putty remover , and then clean using warm water and soap and a soft cloth. How well ECO by Cosentino Countertops deal with Extreme Heat: ECO by Cosentino surfaces perform okay against heat and can withstand moderately high temperatures for brief periods of time without being damaged.
As with any stone surface, however, certain exposure to heat may cause cracks due to thermal shock. The Cosentino Group becomes the first company worldwide in the quartz worktops sector to obtain an Environmental Declaration of Products EDP , that certifies its Life-cycle analysis.
