Silestone is a leading manufacturer of Quartz which has now extended its Eternal range of stone surfaces with some new marble colors. With the launch of its Calacatta inspired Quartz surfaces, the company has come into the limelight, and many people are discussing this new release.
Silestone has come up with an eternal range of stone surfaces keeping in view the growing popularity of Eternal Calacatta Gold. Due to its massive popularity back then, the company came up with two different varieties of Calacatta marble in 2018- Silestone Calacatta Classic and Silestone Bianco Calacatta.
If you are planning to buy one and unable to understand the differences, you are in the right place. Here is a quick reference guide for you that will help you out.
Silestone Calacatta Gold truly captures the essence of Calacatta marbles with a modern touch. Launched in 2017, the idea behind Silestone Calacatta Gold was to give a tribute to Calacatta marbles which were popular not only in ancient times but are also in very high demand in present modern times. The golden glints bring forward the richness of the past. The surface has thick veins in grey color that are crafted in golden color on a bright and white background.
When the company launched its five new colors in 2018, Silestone Calacatta Classic was one of them. It is made up by combining the durability of Quartz which makes it a perfect choice for kitchen worktops. The surface has a translucent appearance with grey veins throughout the top of the neutral base, which, in a subtle and elegant way, effortlessly reinterprets Calacatta marble in the most realistic manner.
Similarly, Bianco Calacatta can be another choice if you want your kitchen countertop to be the focal point of the room. The white hue of Calacatta marble is combined with thick electric veins in grey for the right amount of contrast and style.
The major difference between both can be seen on their surfaces which are significantly different from one another in appearance. On the one hand, Silestone Calacatta Gold has lighter grey and bluish veins with a slight golden shade, whereas Silestone Calacatta Classic has a more translucent appearance with uniform veins in dark grey. But, here Bianco Calacatta turns out to be with the most theatrical appearance. Its backdrop looks striking in both contemporary or traditional settings. Since it is available in both polished with a beautiful sheen and suede leathery finishes, it is more in demand for both traditional and modern kitchens. The surfaces are available in different size, thickness and edge formats which allows you to get one that perfectly suits your requirements. Everyone seems to be benefited from the new Silestone ‘N-Boost’ technology which makes them stain resistant and liquid repellent.
The difference comes more into surface level and appeal. Your choice should depend on your needs. The qualities are more or less the same and they all will just enhance the beauty of your kitchen. Silestone has been winning the trust of its customers for ages now, and with its Calacatta marble range, things are just getting better. Whatever you choose, it will just make your home complete!
