Sizes

Calacatta Macaubas Quartzite is made in 2 sizes. Size is the decision people skip and then notice every day: it sets how much grout line ends up in the field, and a larger module on the same wall reads calmer than a small one.

What to expect once it is installed

The ratings that decide whether the finished counter matches the sample.

Piece-to-piece variation: Medium

Variation between pieces: medium. Pieces run close enough that nobody will read the differences across a finished run.

Certifications

Certified to GreenGuard Gold · NSF · USGBC/LEED. Gold is the higher of the two Greenguard tiers, and the difference between them is a lower limit on indoor emissions. NSF speaks to food-contact safety — the surface is rated for food prep — rather than to indoor air. It contributes toward LEED where that is part of the brief.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Calacatta Macaubas Quartzite itself, not from its name.

We measured this slab's own swatch at #C3BBAE — light and near-neutral. The closest color we hold pairing data for is Greige, so that is what the recommendations below are built from. It sits close to neutral, which means it will take direction from the cabinets rather than fight them.

Cabinets

Pure White — walls one step warmer than the cabinets so the white reads crisp. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out classic

Countertop

White Veined (Marble-Look) — Greige keeps the veined white from feeling icy — the counter reads like linen instead of a showroom slab, and fingerprints vanish into the warmth.. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out current

Hardware

Warm Brass / Satin Gold — Brass pulls the hidden taupe out of greige, and as the lacquer softens over the years the pulls just look more collected, never tarnished.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current

Flooring

Natural / White Oak — Greige and natural oak share the same beige undertone, so the cabinets seem to grow out of the floor — a quiet trick that makes small kitchens feel seamless.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast solid

What is Calacatta Macaubas Quartzite made of?

Calacatta Macaubas Quartzite is a quartzite tile, which is what decides how it is cared for — see the sealing answer below.

Does Calacatta Macaubas Quartzite need sealing?

Yes. It is natural stone, so it is porous, so it wants sealing. Quartzite is the hardest thing we set — harder than granite — but hardness and porosity are different properties, and only one of them is on your side.
