Calacatta Oro Quartz

Surrey, United Kingdom

Installation Story

Check out how we delivered one of the most airy and elegant looking kitchen spaces for homeowners in

Surrey

. They already had a spacious bright room and wanted worktops which would continue that sense of openness along but also not make it feel too clinical with plain white. We found the perfect marble-effect white surface called

Calacatta Oro Quartz

, which offered that balance. Its soft white background and flowing grey veining bring the elegance of natural marble, while the engineered surface provides a practical finish for a busy modern kitchen.

The Vision

A Light Worktop With Just Enough Detail

The room receives plenty of natural light, so the stone selection and layout were approached with keeping the kitchen bright and visually connected in mind. Rather than adding a highly dramatic pattern, the chosen quartz uses restrained veining that works naturally with the surrounding cabinetry.

Design Objective
Make the most of the bright preparation area without making the worktop feel visually heavy.
Our Execution
The quartz was templated closely around the window-side layout, creating a generous continuous surface that catches the natural daylight.
Design Objective
Add character while maintaining the clean appearance of the room.
Our Execution
The slab orientation was considered carefully so the soft grey movement remained visible across the main preparation areas.
Design Objective
Keep the washing and preparation zone practical and easy to maintain.
Our Execution
A precise sink cut-out was fabricated into the quartz, leaving a neat, durable edge around the opening.
Design Objective
Prevent the worktop and surrounding walls from looking disconnected.
Our Execution
Quartz was carried up behind selected sections of the worktop, creating a clean transition between the horizontal and vertical surfaces.
Final Look — Exactly like they required, the finished kitchen now feels bright and spacious without looking boring. That's the beauty of a marble-inspired surface. Even with white walls and white cabinets, the combination does not look odd. The worktop has a glossy surface which is nothing but a polished finish. This allows it to reflect back all the sunlight which enters the kitchen from its big windows. Overall, there is a welcoming vibe as soon as one enters.

Marble Character With Everyday Ease

If you conduct a survey of people who go head over heels for marble, you will find plenty. But if you look up the actual number of people who install it, you'll be surprised by the mismatch. This is because, as beautiful as it is, it needs care and attention due to its delicate nature, and not everybody in this busy economy has time to attend to it. In these situations, only a lookalike marble which looks convincingly natural is a huge saviour. Calacatta Quartz series are one such, and they are quite popular for home renovation projects in kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, hallways and more.
