Caesarstone 5151 Empira White

A clean white ground crossed by fine, branching grey veins — not broad bands but a spreading network, very close to the way veining behaves in natural stone. This is one of Caesarstone's most recognisable colours, and with reason: it gives the drama of Calacatta without natural marble's sensitivity to acids and without any sealing.

Polished finish, in 1.3, 2 and 3 cm, on a 327 × 164 cm jumbo slab. Because the veining runs directionally, it is worth choosing the actual slab in the gallery and marking the layout before cutting — particularly on an island with a waterfall edge, where the vein should carry from the top down the side.
