A practical comparison of two zero-crystalline-silica mineral worktops, covering design, buying route, warranty and installation service.
ELORĀ and ĒCLOS are modern mineral worktops formulated without crystalline silica, but they offer different designs, buying routes and project support.
ĒCLOS is a Cosentino surface known for its INLAYR full-body design technology and 25-year manufacturer’s guarantee.
According to brand information supplied directly by ABOUT STONES, Elorā was developed by the UK stone wholesaler and is available directly through Mo’s Stonex. One team manages samples, templating, fabrication and professional installation.

As homeowners, designers and fabricators look for alternatives to traditional high-silica quartz, Elorā and ĒCLOS are two notable options.
According to supplied brand information, Elorā was developed by UK stone wholesaler ABOUT STONES. ĒCLOS is a mineral surface developed by Cosentino, the company behind Silestone and Dekton.
Both are formulated without crystalline silica, reducing the specific respirable crystalline silica hazard associated with cutting traditional high-silica quartz. Read more about what crystalline silica is and why it matters. Professional wet fabrication and suitable dust-control measures are still required when processing engineered surfaces.
Both surfaces contain zero crystalline silica, but they offer different design features, buying routes and project support. See our wider guide to 0% silica worktops.
