Description

Neolith Calacatta

The Calacatta model in the Classtone collection has no doubt been the design that has received the greatest attention from the media out of the entire Neolith range as it has received important international awards for product design such as the Red Dot Product Design Awards and the Muuuz International Awards 2015, among others, which prove just how elegant and original the design is.
Inspired by the best Calacatta from Carraraboards available on the market, the Calacatta by Neolith model offers a design with a very well-distributed and uniform grey vein all along the board which optimizes its use irrespective of the type of use or format. The greyish mesh with subtle hints of gold lies on a bright white background which brings light and vitality to the place where it is used.
The Calacatta by Neolith model is unique in that it can offer two different aesthetic effects when the boards are placed in sequence: a book-match effect and an end-match effect. This original characteristic offers architects and designers different ways to decorate a space using the same material.
Neolith is impermeable, highly resistant to stains, scratches, bending and Ultra-Violet rays. It is also easy to clean and hygienic.

What is Neolith?

Neolith is a brand of ultra compact surfaces, specifically made from a mixture of natural minerals, resin, and pigments. It is known for its durability, resistance to scratches, stains, and impact damage, making it an ideal material for use in kitchens, bathrooms, and other high traffic areas. Neolith is also easy to clean and maintain, comes in a variety of designs and colours, and is water and heat resistant. It is often used for countertops, backsplashes, shower walls, and other surfaces that are subject to wear and tear. With its sleek and modern look, Neolith is a popular choice for those seeking a low-maintenance and hygienic solution for their home.

Technical Information

Joints
Neolith worktop joints are finished with a small ariss to the top edge. Silicone sealant is applied to prevent water ingression.

Heavily Veined / Particulated Colours
These colours are highly unlikely to have contineous flow of the pattern when 2 sheets or 2 pieces of the same sheet are seamed together. The change of pattern will show up on the seam area

Thermal expansion
Due to thermal expansion Neolith can expand up to 1mm per metre.

Overhangs and supports
Any overhang extending more than 300mm must be supported.

Upstands
Upstands less than 100mm high are extremely fragile and are not recommended.
Upstands are not normally cut from the same slab as the worksurfaces and therefore an exact colour match is not possible.

Handling
Extra labour will be required on any worktops over 120kg. This will be supplied at no cost to worktops.net

Care & Maintenance

Your new Neolith worktops will need care and maintenance to keep them in good order over the years.

If you choose a polished finish they will be more easy to wipe down when compared to natural finishes which hold dirt more due to the surface texture.

This means Natural Finishes take a little longer to clean than Polished but if you use cleaning information in our Cleaning and Maintenance for Ultra Compact Surfaces Guide (link below) you will be able to remove the most stubborn stains.

However Natural Finishes are more resilient to scratching than polished if objects are dragged across the worktops (which should be avoided).

The best advice is to wipe up spillages when they happen and dry the worktop off with a tea towel,

Scratches
Ultra Compacts are highly scratch resistant but not scratch proof.

Staining
Ultra Compact worktops are incredibly hard and non-porous and will not absorb liquids, but it is still possible that grease, wine, coffee, nicotine, fruit juices and other strongly coloured substances can stain the surface if not properly protected or if the spills are not cleaned up immediately.

Hygienic
Polished Ultra Compact worktops are naturally hygienic as they are non-porous

Handling
For installation of worktops weighing above 120kg, you will need to supply additional labour at no cost to Worktops.net, every additional 75kg requires an extra person to assist with lifting.
