Classic Calacatta
Classic Calacatta: a superb, subtle and refined take on the calacatta style. This colour stands out through the generous, even grey veins that cross the neutral white background of its surface.
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.
