What is the secret of Calacatta? Why this marble is so popular? How many kinds of Calacatta (or Calacata) marble exist? 

 

 

 

 

Calacatta marble is a distinctive white Italian marble with gray and gold veining.Marble Calacatta takes name from the localities in Carrara (Calacatta, Calagio e Calocara) and there only 5 quarries located in this small area that give marble named Calacatta. The main characteristic of this marble is pure white microcrystalline structure with graphic veining of all shades of grey and gold colors. Technically it is high density marble, very hard, with very law absorbtion coefficient, law flexibility and others very highly appreciated by engineers characteristics. But to me the main value of this marble is its uniqueness, history and prestige. Nowadays most of high end design projects bare inside some Calacatta. And  personally I don’t think it’s only the history of this marble used by Michelangelo, Canova and most of artists, but the fact that it’s warm white background and all shades of grey and gold colors match most of modern colors and designs - from minimal to very extravagant and striking effects.

 

 Available as marble slabs and marble tile in both honed and polished finishes, this elegant natural stone is the perfect choice to create stunning marble countertops, marble kitchen islands, marble floors and backsplashes.

 

 

 

Marble countertops are a common sight in modern homes, adorning kitchens, bathrooms, and even fireplace surrounds. As a preferred choice for countertop material, marble stands out for its lightweight yet sturdy nature, ability to withstand heat, and enduring elegance. Its unique combination of qualities sets it apart from other materials, making it an excellent choice for homeowners seeking a timeless and sophisticated look.

Quartzite is compared to granite in terms of hardness and durability, but it’s important to know that these two types of natural stone are not one and the same. Since quartzite comes in colors that are trending right now, such as light gray and white, it is a popular countertop option in today’s neutral-toned kitchen designs. It also looks a lot like marble, which many will agree is the epitome of luxury.

 

Blue Labradorite Granite

 

Granite is an igneous rock known for being very hard. Quartzite, on the other hand, is a metamorphic rock composed almost entirely of quartz, the hardest material on earth. Both granite and quartzite are very hard, but on the Mohs scale of hardness, (from 1 to 10, 10 being hardest) quartzite has a slight advantage. It measures around 7 whereas granite measures around 6.

 

While quartzite is slightly harder than granite, it’s important to understand that it’s not bulletproof. Quartzite does have one particular disadvantage that you won’t see in granite: etching. 

 

Etching is surface damage in the form of a dull mark on natural stone. It happens when acidic substances come into contact with countertops, floors, walls, or anywhere you may have a natural stone. Quartzite can be prone to etching if not sealed once installed and this process is repeated once to twice a year depending on the type of slabs you opted for.

 

A quartzite countertop is also very easy to keep clean, as you will only need mild dishwasher soap and water. In terms of maintenance, having a quartzite countertop will be one of the easiest features of your house to take care of. 

 

Green Quartzite

 

Just like quartzite, granite is easy to clean. You can maintain the surface using warm soapy water. Do not use anything harsh such as vinegar or bleach though. Overall, granite is a very durable material that should stay in prime condition if cared for properly.

 

Quartzite prices generally start at $60 per square foot but can cost more if the type you choose is rarer. Granite usually tends to cost a little less than quartzite. Granite can mostly be found in the range of $40 to $100 per square foot. As with quartzite, this number can be on the higher end if the type of granite is rare. If you are looking for a better idea of the cost of either quartzite or granite, you should get an estimate or a few in order to find the best deals.

 

For installation, there is no clear winner in comparison between granite and quartzite. Both will require the assistance of a professional craftsman to install in your kitchen.

 

In addition to the elegant look of natural stone, installing either quartzite or granite in your home can actually increase the home’s resale value. Regardless of where it’s used and in what way, any way that natural stone is implemented will be sure to improve the look of your home. Beyond looks, the type of natural stone you select can also increase the functionality of the area where it is installed.

These years,there is a huge decrease in quantity of natural granite and marble exportation to USA,Europe and Australia in Countertop and Vanity tops business, because of the new trend of using quartz (Australia calls it engineering stone) for kitchen remodeling! Why did this happen? Why does the quartz become popular among home owners  !

 

here are some good benefits :

 

1:Hardness , The Quartz can be very hard , because it is made of 90% natural Quartz sand , 8% Resins and 2% fixation accelerator in the factory , so The Moh's hardness of Quartz is up to 6-7 degree ,it is harder than natural marble ,limestone and travertine, for countertop and vanity tops , Obviously , It is non-scratched ,Like granite ! But there is also an advantage than granite. The surface of quartz does not need sealing treatment!

 

2:More Colors and no color difference , For Natural stone , There is an apparent defect , the Color difference,Especially for marbles , The Color is chaotic , Maybe in one slab , There are 2-3 colors ,one part is dark , or the above part is light , for some clients , this color difference is not acceptable ,especially for Villa or luxurious home decoration ,  but by using Quartz , There is no this issue , The Color is always uniform , even if for huge project! Xiamen Singo stone factory can easily control the color!

 

3:Long life Durability–unlike natural marble and natural granite, which are got from mine, quartz is produced and compressed in factories, by using the hardest quartz sand to produce quartz slab. This process makes quartz a very long life durability.

 

4:Beautiful Veins: The veins of natural marble tile is a gift from our earth mother, but the hardness of marble is low and the marble is with many cracks and other defects.So it is not very suitable for Countertop,vanity tops and table tops. So quartz become ideal material for it. Because the vein of quartz can be produced according to client’s requirement, in other words, we can create the veins or we can copy the veins from the natural marble but without the defects. I think that’s the main reasons for quartz popularity!

 

5:Easy to clean: Due to it’s stain resistant,non-porous nature,quartz do not be sealed like marble or granite,and it’s easy for home hostess to clean the surface!

 

 

6: Lower Price to get it : For Quartz , at first ,Maybe it is expensive ,but now ,The price is lowered down , For example , The price of natural calacatta marble slab is up to 700USD/M2 , but Quartz Calacatta slab is only 100USD/M2 or even lower !
