FAQs: Silestone Calacatta Gold
Is Silestone Calacatta Gold more durable than marble?
Yes. While Calacatta marble is undeniably luxurious, it is also porous, softer, and requires regular maintenance. Silestone Calacatta Gold offers the visual appeal of marble but is harder, non-porous, and stain-resistant, making it far more suitable for high-traffic or spill-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
Can I use Silestone Calacatta Gold for vertical applications?
Absolutely. Thanks to its lightweight construction and high structural integrity, Silestone Calacatta Gold is ideal for vertical installations such as shower walls, fireplace surrounds, and full-height backsplashes, delivering seamless beauty across surfaces.
Do I need to seal Silestone Calacatta Gold?
No. One of the major benefits of Silestone surfaces is that they do not need sealing. This is in stark contrast to stones like marble or granite, which require regular sealing to prevent staining and water absorption.
Is the veining in Calacatta Gold slabs consistent from one piece to another?
While there will naturally be minor differences from slab to slab, the engineered consistency of Silestone ensures a highly uniform overall appearance, unlike natural stones that can vary dramatically. This makes it easier to match pieces for large installations.
