Calacatta Gold

Engineered stone you can price straight off the drawing.
Quartz is crushed quartz bound with resin and pressed into slabs of a set size. One slab looks like the next, so the quote can come off the drawing before anyone walks the yard.
Because it's made rather than quarried, the pattern repeats and a seam can be matched. It never needs sealing, and a spill that would mark marble wipes off.
The resin is its weak point. A hot pan straight off the burner can scorch it, and years of sun through a window or on an outdoor kitchen can yellow it. Use a trivet, and put natural stone outside.

Quartz, asked and answered
It's different. Quartz is uniform and needs no sealing. Granite is natural, takes heat better, and needs sealing now and then. Want the pattern predictable across a long run? Quartz. Cook hot and want a one-off slab? Granite.
Yes, and you should. A 3-inch chip doesn't show how the veining runs across a slab, so ask for the full-slab photo or come to the yard.
The slab size of each quartz is on its page. It sets how many slabs a kitchen takes and where the seams fall, which we show on the drawing before you approve anything.
