Description:

Calacatta Classico Sintered Stone is a sophisticated artificial stone meticulously crafted using state-of-the-art technology, creating an impeccable replica of the original Italian Calacatta Marble. This engineered stone captures the essence of the Calacatta Carrara Marble, featuring a pure white background adorned with soft gray hues and intricate veining and features.

The manufacturing process involves the use of high-tech machines, resulting in a material that is incredibly challenging to distinguish from natural Calacatta Carrara Marble. This sintered stone is produced in various thicknesses: 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 10.00mm, 12.00mm, 14.00mm, 16.00mm, 18.00mm, and 20.00mm. The fabrication technique employs a matrix of minerals that are heated (or sintered) to form a solid, impenetrable mass.

Calacatta Classico Sintered Stone boasts a surface that is impervious to etching, scratching, burning, or staining. Its durability surpasses that of quartz, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. This versatile material finds its place in kitchens and bathrooms for countertops, commercial surfaces, ornamental stone, stairs, interior and exterior wall cladding, flooring, mosaic designs, waterjet patterns, wall panels, table tops, columns, fireplaces, and custom furniture.

With its timeless aesthetic and superior performance characteristics, Calacatta Classico Sintered Stone elevates the appeal of any space, combining the allure of natural marble with the durability of cutting-edge engineered materials.
