Calacatta Gold Quartz

Silestone Eternal Calacatta Gold Quartz Worktop

If you love the look of Italian Calacatta marble but don’t fancy sealing it every year, Silestone Eternal Calacatta Gold might be exactly what you’re after. It’s an engineered quartz worktop with a soft white base, bold grey veining and warm gold undertones running through it, the same dramatic pattern you’d pay a fortune for in solid marble, minus the maintenance headache. We supply and fit it across London and the wider UK in 12mm, 20mm and 30mm thicknesses, with a polished or suede finish, and it comes backed by Silestone’s 25-year warranty.

Benefits of Calacatta Gold Quartz Worktop

Here’s what makes it such a popular choice for UK kitchens:

• Non-porous surface, no sealing, ever, and it won’t soak up wine, oil or tea stains
• Antibacterial protection built into the surface, which matters if you’re prepping food daily
• Scratch and knock resistant, so it copes with chopping-board slips and pan drags
• Heat resistant for everyday use, though we’d still recommend a trivet for hot pans
• Wipes clean with warm water and washing-up liquid — no special products needed
• Every slab is consistent in colour and pattern, unlike natural marble, where each block varies

Caring for Your Calacatta Gold Quartz Worktop

Quartz worktop is about as low-maintenance as worktops get, but a few habits will keep yours looking new for years.

• Daily cleaning: warm water and a mild washing-up liquid are all you need
• Grease marks: a good glass cleaner and a non-scratch scouring pad will lift most grease without dulling the finish
• Stubborn stains: dishwashing soap and a non-abrasive sponge, rinsed off with warm water
• Avoid: bleach, oven cleaners and anything abrasive, they can dull the polished surface over time
• Heat: quartz copes well with warmth, but always use a trivet under hot pans and dishes straight off the hob
