## Description

Silestone Classic Calacatta evokes the timeless elegance of Calacatta marble, with a luminous white background crossed by clean grey veins and subtle warm shades. Available in a polished or suede finish, it pairs with almost every cabinet style, from classic to contemporary, and brings a luxurious touch to kitchens and bathrooms alike. A non-porous quartz surface, resistant to everyday stains and wear.

## Key features

Classic Calacatta belongs to the Eternal collection from Silestone by Cosentino. Its neutral background, with a faintly translucent appearance, is traced with even grey veins: an understated reinterpretation of Italian Calacatta marble. The colour comes in a polished finish, which brightens the background, and a suede finish, matte and velvety to the touch.

Made with Cosentino's HybriQ+ technology, the surface has low porosity, resists stains and scratches and needs minimal maintenance. The large-format slabs (327 x 159 cm) let you dress an island with few seams, and Silestone is covered by a 25-year residential warranty in Canada.

## Why choose Classic Calacatta

Among Calacatta-inspired colours, Classic Calacatta stands out for the regularity of its veining: the grey veins cross the slab with no overloaded areas, which makes it easier to align seams at installation. It is a safe choice for anyone who wants the elegance of marble without its upkeep, in the kitchen and in the bathroom.

## Classic Calacatta in your kitchen

This grey-veined white pairs with white or cream shaker cabinetry for a classic style, or with charcoal and walnut fronts for a more current contrast. Carried onto a full-height backsplash, it creates a coherent accent wall behind the cooktop. Chrome, black or brass fixtures — all three work.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do you care for Silestone Classic Calacatta?

Cleaning with soapy water and a soft cloth is enough day to day. Thanks to Cosentino's HybriQ+ technology, the surface has low porosity and resists stains, scratches and common acids, with no sealant to apply. Simply avoid strong abrasives and direct contact with intense heat.

### Is Classic Calacatta a good choice for a kitchen island?

Yes: Silestone's large-format slabs (327 x 159 cm) often cover an island in a single piece, preserving the continuity of the veining. The material handles the intensive use of a work surface very well. You can request a free online quote from Comptoir Quartz to confirm the dimensions of your project.

### Which kitchen style goes with Classic Calacatta?

Its light background and even grey veining make it a highly versatile colour: it complements a classic kitchen with shaker cabinetry as readily as a contemporary scheme with dark fronts. As a full-height backsplash, it is a compelling alternative to ceramic. Chrome, black and brass fixtures all suit it.

### What warranty covers a Silestone countertop like Classic Calacatta?

Silestone by Cosentino offers a 25-year limited residential warranty on its surfaces in Canada. It covers manufacturing defects in the material under normal residential use. Registering the product with Cosentino after installation is recommended.
