Bring the grandeur of Italian Statuario marble into your home without any of the maintenance. Statuario Cascata is a premium engineered quartz worktop that replicates the breathtaking appearance of one of Italy’s most revered natural stones, featuring a crisp, luminous white background swept with bold, cascading grey veins that flow dynamically across the slab. The name ‘Cascata’, Italian for ‘waterfall’, perfectly describes the dramatic, downward movement of the veining, which gives the surface a sense of natural energy and elegance.
Real Statuario marble is quarried in the Apuan Alps near Carrara, Tuscany, and has been prized by architects and designers for centuries. However, it is notoriously porous, prone to etching from everyday acids (lemon juice, coffee, wine) and requires regular sealing and careful maintenance. Statuario Cascata Quartz delivers all the visual drama of the original — the luminous white base, the bold, characterful veining — in a fully engineered format that is non-porous, completely maintenance-free and built for busy modern kitchens.
Composed of approximately 93% natural quartz crystal bound with polymer resins and pigments, this surface is twice as hard as granite and far more resistant to the daily rigours of kitchen life. It will not etch, stain or harbour bacteria, and it never needs sealing or reconditioning.
Statuario Cascata Quartz offers excellent performance for residential and commercial use:
• Scratch resistant: Extremely hard surface resists everyday scratching
• Stain resistant: Non-porous surface repels coffee, wine, oils and common kitchen liquids
• Chip resistant: Dense quartz composition reduces the risk of chipping at edges
• Heat resistant: Tolerates normal kitchen heat — always use trivets to avoid thermal shock
• Hygienic: Non-porous, non-absorbent surface prevents bacteria and mould growth
• Easy to clean: Warm soapy water is all that is needed for daily maintenance
Note: Avoid prolonged contact with bleach-based or ammonia-based cleaners. Not recommended for outdoor use due to UV sensitivity.
This versatile quartz is suited to a wide range of applications, including:
• Kitchen worktops and breakfast bars
• Kitchen islands and peninsulas
• Bathroom vanity tops and countertops
• Splashbacks and feature walls
• Wall cladding
Caring for your Statuario Cascata quartz is simple. For everyday cleaning, wipe the surface with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. For dried or stubborn residues, use a non-abrasive household cleaner and a plastic scraper. Always rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid scouring pads, bleach-based products and silicone sprays, which can dull the polished finish. No sealing, polishing or reconditioning is ever required.”
