Marble is one of the most luxurious and classically beautiful materials money can buy. But with its high maintenance care routine and a price tag to match, marble countertops may not be the most practical choice for many homeowners.

In contrast, quartz countertops can offer an authentic marble lookalike that is easy to maintain, affordably priced, and extremely durable. 

White marble is highly prized for its ability to blend seamlessly with many other colors and styles of decor. You can see this clean look beautifully replicated with MSI’s Carrara Caldia Quartz, above. Faint beige veining subtly fades in and out against a soft white background, for a look that is both elegant and comfortably unfussy. 

Quartz is also a non-porous material, so you won't have to worry about your all-white quartz countertops being stained by spilled wine or coffee. A quartz kitchen remodel is a wise decision for many reasons, just a few of which are outlined Why to chose quartz countertops for your kitchen remodel.

Cashmere Carrara Quartz is another pure white quartz countertop with a delicate grey veining pattern. It can be difficult to find such a true white slab in the natural world, which makes this man-made quartz option even more attractive for those with a specific look in mind.

The consistency of quartz countertops removes the risk of blemishes or discolorations that can occur in natural stone, making quartz both a reliable and smart choice.

The result is a realistic marble reproduction that makes a stunning countertop selection, particularly when featuring a waterfall edge as shown in this fresh design!
