they are both very hard. both take alot to scratch or damage. the difference is that porcelains have a finish on the surface so if you chip it you will see a different color in the chip. if you chip granite there is no difference in color because what you see on the surface of granite is what it looks like through the stone and all you have to do is fill the chip with a clear epoxy filler.

Both Materials are technically very good. The quality of the product (the slab) is very good, but they are made with 2 completely different manufacturing process. Silestone is a Factory based in Spain, that uses a Breton System; Granite Transformations manufactures with a Vibration System in their plant in Sebring Florida. Silestone manufactures primaraly 3/4" or 1 1/4" slabs (2 or 3 cm), Granite Transformations 1/4" slabs (6.6 mm). Granite Transformations system is an overlay over an existing or new substrate, the only one of his kind in the world, while Silestone is a regular slab. Granite Transformations production uses high concentration of Recycled Glass, Recycled Porcelain, Granite and Quartz, while Silestone is mainly Quartz. Granite Transformations colors are different than Silestone, and when you get to color selection it is up to you to decide. Granite Transformations layover process allows the remodeling of a surface is a very short time and with minimum dust, Silestone installation is a regular installation.
