Calacatta Oro Quartz is an engineered stone, manufactured for its use in almost every indoor purpose, be it kitchen, bedroom or bathroom. Calacatta Oro Quartz has gained a lot of appreciation and admiration from homeowners, interior designers, kitchen architects and alike for its resemblance with the world famous, Italian Calacatta Marble. What makes it special is, unlike slabs of marble that are highly porous, this quartz stone shows a high level of water resistance. This plays a major role in its popularity, because, if a stone is not affected by moisture and humidity, it opens up opportunities for it to be used in the stone bathrooms, shower areas, kitchen sinks, and all other wet surfaces. Besides reducing the chances of being damaged by water, a non-porous surface also ensures a hygienic environment. One will not have to be worried about mould and bacterial growth as this quartz countertop maintenance will not include a laboursome cleaning, instead just regular dish soap with warm water will be more than enough.
