Calacatta is one of the popular luxury marbles and is characterized by a striking veining pattern that has a white background. Natural Calacatta marble, however, has its drawbacks, such as its price tag, porosity and tendency to etch. In comes Calacatta quartz slabs. The slabs are becoming a trend among designers worldwide because of their performance characteristics that add to the appeal of naturally produced Calacatta. Yuanda Stone is a long-established, Chinese professional and factory stone supplier, making high quality Calacatta slabs for residential and commercial interior stone applications since over 20 years. We'll learn why designers are increasingly using this material in this section.
The Visual Appeal of Calacatta Quartz
Calacatta quartz is a type of quartz that mimics the appearance of natural Calacatta marble. The white is very bright and will add to the clean and fresh look of any interior. The veins are a grey or dark charcoal colour which contrast to the background. Calacatta quartz is the same in consistency as natural Calacatta, but it is controlled whereas natural Calacatta is unpredictable and unique. You can use the same vein throughout a large project, so that you can have perfect matching countertops, backsplashes and vanity tops. In multi-unit residential, hotel and commercial buildings where consistency of brand is critical, this is especially important. Yuanda Stone's Calacatta quartz slabs are available in different intensities of the veins, providing the designers the opportunity to select their desired style and intensity of the veins.
Superior Durability Compared to Natural Marble
The natural Calacatta marble is a delicate and beautiful material. It scratches easily, stains from wine or coffee and etches with acidic substances such as lemon juice or vinegar. Calacatta quartz takes care of these worries. Quartz is made from crushed quartz and resin binders, and is scratch-, stain- and etching-resistant and not porous. Calacatta quartz kitchen countertop won't wear from daily use in the kitchen. A bathroom vanity top is able to withstand toothpaste, make-up and cleaning products. This is a significant benefit for designers recommending material for "high use" applications. Clients enjoy the same luxurious appearance as Calacatta marble, but without the hassle of natural marble. All Calacatta quartz slabs produced by Yuanda Stone are made to ISO 9001 quality standards which guarantee a uniform hardness and stain resistance in each batch of slabs.
Low Maintenance for Busy Lifestyles
Convenience is key in modern clients. Natural marble should be sealed periodically, cleaned with pH neutral products, and spills should be wiped up immediately. That is not needed for Calacatta quartz. No sealing is required for the non-porous surface because it doesn't take stains. It can be cleaned with mild soap and water everyday and looks as though it's new. Spills can be mopped up as and when they are deemed to be safe to do so, without fear of permanent damage. This low maintenance is an attraction for residential clients who have active families. In commercial applications such as restaurant counters or hotel reception desks, it means reduced upkeep costs. For designers, they can confidently guarantee clients a beautiful surface that remains beautiful with little effort if they use Calacatta quartz.
Versatile Applications Throughout Interiors
The Calacatta quartz slabs are ideal for use in numerous interior applications. The bright white surface and dramatic veining continue to produce stunning focal points, making kitchen countertops the most popular application. The moisture-resistant and hygienic nature of the material, combined with its ease of cleaning, makes bathroom vanity tops a popular choice. Calacatta quartz backsplashes bring the countertops and cabinetry together in a harmonious fashion. Entryway or behind fireplaces can be used for wall cladding and have great impact. Dining room or reception desks are fitted with a luxurious surface that's resistant to wear. Calacatta quartz is available in a variety of applications, making it suitable for use in different areas of the same room for a harmonious design. Calacatta quartz comes in slab, tile, cut to size, countertop, vanity top, skirting and irregular shapes to suit any design needs, all produced by Yuanda Stone. All products are indoor only and should not be used on an outdoor floor, exterior wall or outdoor stairs.
Cost Effectiveness Without Compromising Luxury
Natural Calacatta marble is extremely hard to quarry, and is rare, making it more expensive. Calacatta quartz is more affordable, but provides the same luxurious look. The produced process is engineered and uses a lot of raw material and efficient production process, so the cost is low. This cost effectiveness makes it possible to design with Calacatta features where the project may not have been able to afford using natural marble. The savings can be put to other aspects of design or used to enhance project margins. Although it offers a more affordable price, Calacatta quartz still doesn't disappoint when it comes to beauty or functionality. Yuanda Stone provides factory direct pricing with no middleman markup for the wholesale business.
