Unistone Azul Aran is a quartz surface influenced by the Spanish blue granite with the same name. Azul Aran reimagines the natural and irrepressible components of the natural granite with blue and grey colours adding creamy touches over the slab and drawing inspiration from the inherently opulent elegance of stone.
The surface comprises a blend of 95% quartz, with the remaining percentage containing colourings and resins that make it a non-porous surface.
Simple Maintenance to Get Work Done Fast
Build worktops, backsplashes, create focal areas, and more with just a few clicks. There is no need to invest hours learning about natural stone maintenance or waiting for someone to seal the surfaces for you.
Unistone Azul Aran boasts 0.05% absorption and is rated by the European Commission as non-porous. The result is a non-porous kitchen and bathroom worktop material that doesn’t need unique stone products, sealants, or dedicated maintenance.

Unistone is a quartz surface, very similar to Silestone. Both of these brands offer comparable performance features and interchangeable characteristics.
When comparing Unistone vs Silestone, the most significant difference is the price. Silestone has a higher price range, making it more of a luxury product than Unistone. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that Silestone is of better quality; they are both high-end products.
Here are the three main differences between Unistone and Silestone
- Unistone's standard slab size is 300 x 140 cm. Conversely, Silestone's standard slab size is 306 x 140 cm
- Unistone's Jumbo slab size is 330 x 165 cm. A Silestone Jumbo slab size is 325 x 159 cm (an example of cost savings by purchasing less number of slabs for a project)
- Although both Unistone and Silestone offer 50 different designs, these differ across the two brands. Therefore you choose the material that best suits your style and budget, irrespective of the brand.
