Eclos brings together advanced design, performance, and sustainability like no surface before. Developed by Eclos by Cosentino, this mineral surface combines zero crystalline silica with over 50% recycled content. It’s engineered for strength, flexibility, and safety, redefining what’s possible in countertop materials.
According to Cosentino’s R&D division, more than 28,000 hours of testing and development went into creating Eclos, ensuring unmatched durability and eco-friendly performance. If you’ve been wondering what’s next in countertop innovation, Eclos may be your answer.
How Does Eclos Differ From Traditional Countertops?
Unlike standard quartz or granite, Eclos uses a layered design system called Inlayr® technology. This process gives every slab a unique 3D pattern with realistic depth and natural texture. The layered composition provides visual dimension while maintaining superior strength and heat resistance.
This advanced process also makes installation significantly easier and with fewer stages. Because Eclos contains no crystalline silica, it is a major step forward for the countertop industry.
What Are Eclos Countertops Made Of?
Eclos surfaces fall into a new category of mineral surfaces, made without quartz and built with recycled materials. Each surface contains up to 90% reused minerals and glass, reducing waste while maintaining strength. This composition results in a product that is both lightweight and exceptionally durable, resisting cracking, chipping, and stains.
The zero crystalline silica formula promotes healthier working conditions for industry professionals while meeting the increasing demand for eco-friendly countertops in homes and commercial spaces.
Why Choose Eclos for Your Kitchen or Bathroom?
If you want a surface that combines style, function, and conscience, Eclos is ideal. The visual quality of its integrated 3D veins rivals natural stone, yet it requires far less maintenance. Its non-porous surface repels moisture, stains, and bacteria, ensuring your kitchen stays clean and safe for years.
You can also enjoy the peace of mind that comes from choosing an environmentally conscious product made by a global leader in countertop surfaces.
How Durable Are Eclos Countertops?
Eclos is designed for heavy daily use in both residential and commercial spaces. Each surface can withstand temperatures up to 220°C (428°F), making it a heat-resistant countertop option that performs even under stress.
Its flexibility and impact resistance mean it won’t chip or crack easily, even with frequent use.
This durability is especially valuable for homeowners who cook often or manage busy kitchens. Compared with other durable kitchen surfaces, Eclos stands out for combining endurance with beauty.
What Are the Design Options Available?
Eclos offers a wide range of colors and finishes, each created through robotic precision and digital layering. These patterns go through the material, not just across the top, creating consistent beauty from surface to edge.
Each color is designed to mimic natural materials like marble or stone while maintaining the low maintenance of engineered products. You can choose from elegant, earthy tones or bright, modern finishes, all crafted to fit seamlessly into your vision.
Popular finish categories include:
- Marble-inspired veins
- Soft neutral tones
- Bold, dark surfaces
- Industrial matte textures
These options give designers and homeowners creative freedom without compromising quality. You can also consult with a professional to find the style, color, and finish that best match the aesthetic you are going for in your home.
How Does Eclos Support Sustainability?
Eclos marks a major step toward circular production in the surface industry. Cosentino created the line to respond to growing awareness around environmental and worker safety concerns in traditional stone fabrication. Its near-90% recycled composition and zero crystalline silica make Eclos a benchmark for sustainable design.
The company’s approach supports both environmental and human well-being, aligning with global goals for safer, more responsible manufacturing. Choosing Eclos means reducing your project’s environmental footprint without sacrificing performance or beauty.
How Can You Maintain Eclos Countertops?
Maintaining Eclos countertops is easy. You don’t need sealants or special treatments, as the surface is non-porous and resistant to daily wear.
Use a mild cleaner and a soft cloth for everyday care. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that could dull the finish.
Regular cleaning keeps the natural luster intact and helps your investment look new for years. Simple maintenance habits include:
- Wiping spills promptly
- Using gentle soap
- Drying with microfiber cloths
These quick steps will preserve your high-quality home countertops without demanding extra effort.
