Neolith Calacatta Luxe

Product Description

 

New addition to the Classtone collection is Neolith Calacatta Luxe. This design follows on from the success and global accolades that the Italian inspired materials Neolith Calacatta and Neolith Estatuario have received but offer a unique twist. Inspired by the Tuscan quarries, this product recreates the natural beauty of one of the world’s most sought after marbles.

 

With elements taken from the popular Calacatta Oro marble, Neolith Calacatta Luxe blends creamy tones and striking veining in grey, black with warm orange touches, providing a fabulous finish to any space in which it is shown.

 

Neolith Calacatta Luxe Polished Finish provides a minimalistic, decadent-looking, sintered stone coating, perfect for bathrooms and kitchens. Additionally, this ultra-compact slab is extremely resistant to staining and scratching making it very functional for everyday use.

 

If you’re looking for a unique beauty and strength product, Neolith Calacatta Luxe will tick all of the boxes. Similarly, thanks to its lightweight properties combined with resistance, you can choose this material. If you have accidental spillages, just a kitchen cloth and soapy water are all you’d require. On Neolith, you can also use other household cleaners without the need for special products.

 

Neolith Calacatta Luxe can be selected in several thicknesses and sizes which make it perfect for any type of project. Neolith Calacatta Luxe comes in slab formats of 3200 x 1600 mm (thickness 12 mm), 3200 x 1500 mm (thickness 6 mm).

 

Similarly, this material’s various thicknesses make it ideal for kitchen workstations, countertops, or wall and furniture cladding. If versatility wasn’t enough, you’ll be happy to hear that all Neolith residential facilities have a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty available.

How can I clean Neolith Calacatta Luxe?

 

Use a microfiber cloth to remove dust from the surface. Clean your Neolith countertop daily if required. you can use warm water, to which a detergent can be added, ensuring grease marks are easily removed. Since detergents may contain waxes, after some washes, these can leave an oily film on the surface. You could also use a window cleaning spray from any major brand. Not only that it will recover its original sheen, but you can also use the spar daily to maintain Neolith surfaces.

 

Cleaning should be limited to immediately rinse the spills off the surface and dry with an absorbent cloth. For daily cleaning use only a damp cloth with water and soap. For embedded stains, pour warm water on the stain then wait till it “loosens” and finally rinse or remove with a clean cloth. Avoid using pads, rough sponges and steel wool.

 

The Size recommends using a blue pad: made with soft fibres, suitable for cleaning of glass, kitchen appliance and nonstick frying pans. Do not use caustic soda or products with a pH greater than 11. If you use bleach, rinse with plenty of water and never leave it in permanent contact with the Neolith polished surface.

 

Avoid cleaning the surface with abrasive cleaners such as Cif Cream (Soft Scrub Cream Cleansers). Use pads, cloths, napkins and glass coasters to place cooking pots or other kitchen hardware on the surface. Never cut food directly on the counter, use a cutting or chopping board. Do not pull or drag kitchenware, pans and appliances on the counter.

Can Neolith Calacatta Luxe be repaired?

 

Ceramic surfaces can get damaged for a variety of reasons. Most often it’s due to an impact from a heavy object such as cooking pots. Neolith Sintered stone can be repaired by previous cleaning the surfaces with acetone, allowing it to evaporate before proceeding further. We recommend contacting a professional who will mix a two-part epoxy, adding the colour to tint the epoxy to match your Neolith countertop. They will grind down the surplus resin on the edge manually to avoid damaging the surface.
