The kitchen is the heart of your home. Shouldn’t it be as beautiful and welcoming as possible? 

The materials you use in this space matter. While you want them to be stunning to look at, you also need them to hold up under years of wear and tear. In addition to choosing premium cabinets and hardware, it’s also important to consider the kind of countertops you install. 

While you have a range of options to consider, Calacatta Quartz is a great material to select. Today, we’re exploring some of the top features that make it a perfect choice!

Non-Porous Material

Non-porous materials don’t absorb water or any kind of liquid. This is helpful in many rooms throughout your house, including the bathroom, laundry room, and kitchen! As a manufactured stone made of natural quartz and resin, Calacatta Quartz holds its own against spills and splashes. 

The resins in this material create an impermeable top layer that seals your counters against water damage. This way, you can cook to your heart’s delight without worrying about staining or marring your surface. 

Extra-Durable

Did you know that quartz stone is one of the hardest stones found in nature? It ranks 7 to 7.5 out of 10 on the Moh’s Scale!

This means it’s exceptionally tough and durable. You don’t have to worry about it chipping off or breaking, even if you drop a heavy pan on it. With Calacatta Quartz countertops, you can actually use your kitchen without fussing over it. 

Easy Maintenance

You want to spend hours each week living in your kitchen, making memories around the table. You don’t want to spend that much time scrubbing the surface to remove stains and help your counters shine. Thankfully, Calacatta Quartz is one of the easiest kinds of kitchen countertops to maintain!

Its sleek, non-porous surface wipes down like a charm, restoring its beauty with just mild soap and water. While you may want to use professional quartz-cleaning materials for a deeper clean, everyday messes are a cinch to clean up. 

Modern Appearance

The striking veins of Calacatta Marble are instantly recognizable. In fact, you’ve probably noticed these countertops on your social media feeds or in your favorite home design magazines. They’re a favorite among interior designers due to their bold, modern look.

Whether you’re installing a brand-new kitchen or just ready to give yours a facelift, this is one change that makes a dramatic transformation. Light and airy while still making a major style statement, they’re just right.
