Calacatta Nova Quartz
Description
Calacatta Nova Quartz is an engineered quartz surface with a white base with fine gold-brown web-like veining.
A lighter take on the Calacatta look for bedrooms, vanities and wall panels.

| Material | Engineered stone: crushed quartz bound with polymer resin and pigment |
|---|---|
| Country of origin | China |
| Finish | Polished / Re-Polishable |
| Thickness | 18mm |
| Slab size | 1800mm x 2700mm |
| Composition | Roughly 90β93% quartz aggregate, the rest resin and pigment |
| Density | About 2.3 β 2.4 g/cmΒ³ |

| Hardness | About 7 Mohs (quartz aggregate) |
| Heat | Resin can scorch above ~150 Β°C β always use a trivet |
| Outdoor use | Not recommended β strong UV can yellow the resin |
| Fabrication | Cut wet only: dry-cutting quartz releases crystalline silica dust |
Practical note: Daily cleaning with mild soap is enough; avoid oven cleaner, paint stripper and other strong solvents that attack the resin.
Technical figures are typical values for this type of material; colour can shift slightly between production batches, so match slabs from the same batch.
Choosing Calacatta Nova Quartz
The look: Calacatta Nova Quartz has a white base with fine gold-brown web-like veining. A lighter take on the Calacatta look for bedrooms, vanities and wall panels.
Living with the pattern: Because Calacatta Nova Quartz is veined, ask to see the full slab before cutting: the veins should run the same way across joints and around corners. A bookmatched or vein-matched layout costs a little more slab but looks far better on islands and walls.
Where it works best: Kitchen islands and counters, waterfall edges, vanities and wall panels behind a bed or TV.
What goes with Calacatta Nova Quartz:
- White, light grey or sage-green cabinets for a soft marble look
- Dark walnut or matt black cabinets when you want the veins to stand out
- Brushed gold or matt black taps and handles, picked to match the vein colour
- Plain walls and floors, so the veining stays the main feature

Compare with real white marble: Natural white marble has its own one-off veining but is softer and needs sealing; quartz gives a similar look that does not stain from haldi, oil or tea. See real white marble colours and rates.
