If you want to learn more, please visit our website.

Calacatta quartz is a robust and solid type of quartz. This member of the quartz family is quite commonly used in many parts of the world thanks to its stain-resistant material. In addition, its reliable and durable structure offers easy maintenance to the user. Therefore, you can prefer the calacatta quartzite in all the indoor and outdoor living spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, and dining rooms.

Distinct veins of the material render it preferable as an authentic and elegant piece. The bright white quartz is accompanied by thick veins of a blue and gray color. As each piece is different from another, you may sometimes come across gold and brown veins. The distinct feature leads to varying patterns also in the veining. The calacatta quartz, despite its appearance that is similar to a fancy marble, is a relatively economical alternative for those who seek elegance and a fair price at the same time.

Is Calacatta Quartz Expensive?

The price range of calacatta quartz is usually between $60 and $100 per square foot. The cost might vary depending on the thickness and patterns of the material. Due to the uniqueness of each piece, and especially if you are looking for specific characteristics, the cost might increase. It is a relatively more budget-friendly alternative than marble, while it is still an expensive material than the solid surface. You will realize during your search that quality always comes with its price.

It is a money saver to buy the material in tiles first, instead of in larger pieces, given that the latter would be much more complex and thus expensive. However, likely, you have already allocated a significant part of the budget to this purchase if you prefer a not-very-cheap material such as calacatta quartz, so it is also reasonable to buy the full slabs once and for all! It would be wise to consider the extra expenses initially, such as transportation and installation. If the slab requires some cuts, keep in mind that this will cause some expense.

Is calacatta Quartz Natural Stone?

The short answer is no. Calacatta marble mainly comes from Carrara, Italy. As one of the most preferred materials in the universe of natural stone, it is encountered in many home decorations worldwide. However, as a light color stone, it might often remain impractical due to its porous feature. Calacatta quartz, as an imitation of the namesake marble, is the perfect alternative since a relatively budget-friendly price accompanies its strong yet lighter material. We must note that the human-made calacatta quartz is different from quartzite.
What’s more, the maintenance of the calacatta quartz is much easier than the marble. It is quite easy to use and impervious to acidic elements such as wine and coffee. While calacatta marble is hard to clean, quartz is resistant to stain and thus a perfect choice for the countertops in your living spaces!

The word Calacatta has become synonymous with Luxury, Elegance and Drama. It’s crisp white “field” lays backdrop to bold, dramatic veins, ranging in color from brown/tan to grey and gold. Calacatta is quarried from the Apuan Mountain Range in the region Carrara, Italy. 

There are three major white marbles quarried out of Carrara, Italy; Bianco Carrara, Statuario and Calacatta. What are the differences? 

Bianco Carrara 

For more information, please visit sailquartz.

Carrara is widely available and often a go-to for the client who’s looking for something with a little bit of an old soul. We often think of Carrara as a staple in European/ Old World kitchen design. It has a lived in, casual elegance that ages so nicely. It’s grey “field” with light grey veining has little color variation, making it a good “neutral”. It’s considered reasonably priced for clients who are watching the bottom line. 

Statuario

Statuario has the same crisp white “field” as the Calacatta but the veining stays within the grey family. The veins are usually bold and thick. This marble gets it’s name from the many statues it has been used to create. Statuario is on the high-end of the cost spectrum and is just as coveted as Calacatta. 

Calacatta 

Calacatta is currently considered the most coveted marble on the market. The supply, demand and beauty determines the cost of this stone. It’s often imitated in quartz lines and it’s name is even applied to other stones in order to garner a higher price. There is only one place the true Calacatta is quarried, Italy.

One of the biggest benefits to using a natural stone in your space is that every single piece of stone is different from the next. Marble gets better with age, developing a patina only years of use can create. 

There isn’t a huge difference in the chemical make-up of these three stones, however they look different from each other. Each slab should be selected or approved by the client to ensure 100% satisfaction.
