Frequently Asked Questions about Calacatta Gold Dual
How does the dual finish (polished & honed) work?
Our Calacatta Gold slabs come with one side polished for a high-gloss, reflective surface and one side honed for a smooth, matte texture. This gives homeowners and designers in Toronto the flexibility to choose the finish that best suits their project.
Is Calacatta Gold Marble suitable for kitchen countertops?
Yes, Calacatta Gold is a popular choice for kitchen countertops. While marble is a softer natural stone, proper sealing and maintenance will help protect against stains and etching from acidic foods.
What's the difference between Calacatta and Carrara marble?
Calacatta has a bright white background with bold, dramatic gold/gray veining, making it luxurious and rare. Carrara has a softer gray background with delicate, feathered veining, offering a classic look. Calacatta is generally more expensive.
