Neolith® Calacatta stands out with its rigorous marble-like design and bold dramatic veining that closely resembles nature. Using a groundbreaking digital decoration technique called Neolith Digital Design (NDD), this surfacing solution offers a level of realism that is unparalleled. The result is a stunning and luxurious aesthetic that adds a touch of sophistication to any space.
What sets Neolith® Calacatta apart from natural marble is its exceptional durability. It is resistant to scratches, high temperatures, abrasion, frost, chemicals, UV exposure, wear and tear, and impacts. Additionally, it has near-zero porosity, preventing the absorption of liquids and making it stain-resistant and hygienic. These properties make Neolith® Calacatta an ideal choice for kitchen worktops, bathroom surfaces, flooring, walls, facades, and more.
Neolith® Calacatta is made using a proprietary sinterization technology process developed by TheSize. It is composed of clays, granite minerals, glass minerals, and silica, and is produced by subjecting these materials to extremely high pressure and temperature. This process mimics the natural formation of stone over thousands of years, resulting in a product that is 100 percent natural and recyclable.
Available in 3.20m x 1.50m slabs that can be cut down to any size or format, Neolith® Calacatta offers flexibility in design. It is available in 6mm and 12mm thicknesses and comes in two different finishes: Silk and Polished. The large slab size allows for wall-to-wall applications, minimizing the number of joints and creating a seamless surface that enhances the hygienic properties of the material.
Neolith® Calacatta is a lightweight material, with a 6mm slab weighing only 85kg. This makes it easy to handle, cut, maneuver, and install, reducing the need for manpower and time. Its versatility and durability make it a popular choice among architects, designers, and homeowners looking for a high-quality surfacing solution that combines aesthetics and functionality.
Designed, developed, and manufactured by TheSize in Castellon, Spain, Neolith® Calacatta is the result of extensive research and development. TheSize, founded by brothers Jesus Esteve and Jose Luis Esteve, has a deep understanding of the natural stone industry and stays ahead of the newest trends in colors, textures, and materials.

Neolith® Calacatta is a testament to the marriage of art, architecture, design, innovation, and technology. Its unique combination of elegance, durability, and versatility makes it a standout choice for any project, whether it's a residential space, a commercial building, or a public facility.
