Silestone Calacatta Gold

Silestone Eternal Calacatta Gold 

Silestone Eternal Calacatta Gold is a hugely sought-after choice for designers and homeowners who want to create strikingly elegant kitchens. The pale background creates a sense of light, airy space, with flowing pale markings adding the feel and rhythm of the natural world.

A choice of two subtly different finishes gives options on the look and feel of your worktop. Silestone’s polished finish is flawlessly smooth with a glimmering radiance. Suede is a remarkable textured surface that softens the look of a worktop, and adds a unique tactile quality. 

You can also order Eternal Calacatta Gold with a wide choice of edges which create different looks and have different practical advantages. Sharp edges should generally be avoided because they are more prone to chipping, so bevelled or mitred edges are popular choices. A fully rounded bullnose softens the lines in a kitchen, and a traditional dove chest edge adds some old-world elegance.     

The appearance of your worktop will be exceptional, and so will the performance. Sometimes people worry about light worktops in their hard-working kitchens, but with this pale quartz there is no need to do so. Silestone’s unique manufacturing process results in all their stones, including Eternal Calacatta Gold, being virtually completely non-porous. It has exceptional resistance to staining from coffee, wine, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar and many other everyday products – even make-up. Silestone is also exceptionally hard, very difficult to scratch and can withstand most kitchen objects if they are accidentally dropped (although you must take care with heavy, cast-iron pans).

To maintain Eternal Calacatta Gold, simply follow a few basic steps.

• Wipe away any crumbs and dust
• Wipe down any spillages without delay with a soft, wet microfibre cloth or e-cloth
• Use a second dry cloth to buff the quartz surface dry
• For dried-in stains use a purpose-made cleaner such as Oxy-Klenza™.

Silestone is part of the Cosentino group who have been creating beautiful stones for over 30 years, during which time they have won the acclaim of design journals, architects and industry bodies. The quality of Silestone quartz is such that it comes with a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty. While naturally formed granite is also a compelling choice for kitchen worktops, it is impossible to find granite which emulates the impeccably clean finish of Silestone Quartz.

Like other Silestone products, Eternal Calacatta Gold can be used for more than kitchen worktops. Other kitchen uses include integrated sinks, wall panels and flooring. In the bathroom it can create stunning floors, sinks and walls, and large slabs can also be used for external cladding. The durability of the stone means it will cope extremely well with heavy usage inside buildings, as well as with the rigours of external weather in all seasons.

Silestone is made using exclusive technology which blends quartz, minerals and a minimum of 20% of recycled materials including glass. The manufacturing process also utilises renewable energy and recycled water. The eco-friendly credentials add a further dimension to the appeal of Silestone.
