The Cleaner Kitchen® program is more than just a marketing program - it's becoming a construction standard in today's new homes. The latest builder to adopt and implement this unique program is Ashton Woods Homes in Houston, Texas. Ashton Woods will run the attached ad, The Heart of the Home, in the Houston Chronicle the weekend of 11-18 and will introduce the Houston market to The Cleaner Kitchen® concept. Along with Ashton Woods, builders such as Haven Properties in Atlanta are using The Cleaner Kitchen® program in all of their communities to add value to their kitchens and, at the same time, create real differentiation between themselves and their competition. The bottom line is that the local Silestone Distributors servicing these builders are realizing new Silestone slab sales because of the standard Silestone specification mandated by the program.

The Cleaner Kitchen® program can work with any size builder and in any part of the country. Please contact your Cosentino Sales Manager for more details on how to get on board The Cleaner Kitchen® train to new builder sales!
