Aestus joins Silestone to Produce First Silestone Radiators

Aestus, a company renowned for producing designer radiators and heated towel rails for the high class interior, has teamed up with the specialist in Quartz surfaces Silestone to produce a range of radiators and heated towel rails. The models will form part of Aestus's existing Elements collection which already houses a selection of genuine granite radiators and heated towel rails, the brainchild of Aestus Product Designer Anthony Steele.

Silestone is a unique material manufactured using 94% Quartz which is one of the best compounds nature has to offer. With its sophisticated appearance, Silestone has the feel and weight of natural stone but with superior quality.

Geoff Jones, Director, Aestus, comments ‘New innovations are constantly at the forefront of my mind, rather than how cheaply I can sell a chrome ladder rail for! I first saw the Silestone material while visiting a client in North Wales. When I expressed an interest I was quickly shown the two new colour palettes Zen and Life launched by Silestone and this really grabbed my attention as I'd been thinking for a long time about introducing a range of bright and exciting coloured radiators. The double whammy of course is that a range of radiators and heated towel rails produced in Silestone would allow those customers using the material for their kitchen or bathroom worktops to coordinate their heating appliances with the rest of the interior of the room.’ Geoff concludes ‘Our business model is based upon offering high end living space, kitchen and bathroom heating solutions that are very pleasing on the eye, up to the minute designs, and top quality. It appears to be working so far!’

The Silestone range has been launched with three models, Midas, Echo and Reflex with a new addition Slot planned for release later in the year. Initially only available in the Zen and Life colour palettes, Zen a range of neutral, earthy tones and Life vibrant hues, Aestus now has confirmation from Silestone that Midas, Echo and Reflex can be produced in any Silestone colour creating further appeal to the consumer.

Manufacture of the stainless steel radiator frames in undertaken at Aestus's group manufacturing facility in the UK while the stone is sourced and fabricated by Cerrig, based in Pwllheli. Each model has a lead time of just four weeks.
