Why Calacatta Quartz Is The New Marble For Modern Homes

Quartz countertops have become a defining element of contemporary kitchen and bath design, offering long-lasting style, incredible strength, and easy maintenance. While natural marble remains a beloved classic in home styling for its organic allure, Calacatta quartz is emerging as a go-to choice for those drawn to the look of marble but desire the performance of quartz.

At MSI Surfaces, we offer one of the largest collections of Calacatta quartz on the market. Our Q^™ Quartz line is home to over 50 styles, each crafted to capture the essence of marble in surfaces that fit seamlessly into any space.

What is Calacatta Quartz?

Calacatta quartz is an engineered surface created to emulate the bold veining of natural Calacatta marble, a stone prized for its classic beauty and striking character. This quartz surface provides homeowners with a way to achieve that signature look in a material that meets today’s diverse lifestyle needs.

Crafted with a bright white base and dramatic veining that ranges from cool gray to warm gold, Calacatta quartz blends visual drama with everyday versatility. Its nonporous structure makes it highly resistant to moisture and common household spills, making it a smart choice for both style and function in kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-use areas.

Many styles in our collection feature proprietary innovations like LumaLuxe^® and LumaLuxe Ultra^®—advanced technologies that enhance depth, clarity, and light reflection. Whether used for quartz kitchen countertops, backsplashes, or statement islands, this surface brings a refined yet approachable look that suits both modern and traditional interiors.
