The Stone

See the natural beauty of Calacatta Volakas up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this quartz unique.

Style:

Marble Effect Veined Classic Subtle

Bright white quartz with soft cool grey flowing diagonal marble veining — a sophisticated, harmoniously understated surface.

Nilestone Calacatta Volakas — referencing the prestigious Greek Volakas marble — brings harmonious marble refinement through flowing grey veining. Its bright white base serves as a clean backdrop for moderate to dense flowing diagonal veining. The veining varies from fine threads to broader undulating movements in soft cool grey with subtle tonal variations. The polished finish is smooth and reflective without speckling or granular texture. Volakas is distinguished by its harmony — the soft grey veining flows with consistent tonal quality, creating movement without disruption. There are no sharp contrasts or dramatic colour shifts. Engineered from 93% natural quartz with polymer resins. Non-porous, scratch resistant (Mohs 7), NSF and Greenguard certified. 15-year warranty. Supplied and installed by In2Stone across Hampshire.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Calacatta Volakas

What does Nilestone Calacatta Volakas look like?
Calacatta Volakas has a bright white base with moderate to dense flowing diagonal veining in soft cool grey with subtle tonal variations. Veining ranges from fine threads to broader undulating movements. Polished and reflective. A harmoniously understated marble — flowing grey movement on white without sharp contrasts or dramatic shifts.
What is Volakas marble?
Volakas is a Greek marble quarried near the town of Volos in Thessaly. It's known for its soft grey veining on a pure white background — less dramatic than Italian Calacatta but equally prestigious. Nilestone's Calacatta Volakas captures this refined Greek marble aesthetic in a non-porous engineered surface.
How does Volakas compare to Carrara?
Both are soft, refined white marble designs with grey veining. Carrara has more feathery, atmospheric veining — softer and more diffused. Volakas has more flowing, undulating veining — more structured and directional. Carrara is romantic atmosphere; Volakas is harmonious elegance. Both are understated but with different characters.
What cabinetry suits Volakas?
The harmonious grey-on-white character is extremely versatile. White creates a bright, clean scheme. Natural timber adds warmth. Light grey creates a tonal scheme. Dark cabinetry provides contrast without the worktop fighting back. The understated marble supports virtually any cabinetry style without competing.
Is Volakas suitable for a family kitchen?
Ideal — the soft grey veining hides marks and daily wear well, the polished non-porous surface resists staining, and the neutral palette suits kitchens that need to work for family life. The 3220×1620mm slab format minimises joins across longer family kitchen runs.
★★★★★
"Excellent Service and Beautiful Results - Highly Recommended! I recently had In2stone install new quartz worktops in my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was completely stress-free. The team was not only competitively priced but also incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire process. They handled everything seamlessly - removing the existing sink, hob, and old laminate worktops before fitting the new quartz surfaces. The finished worktops are absolutely beautiful and have transformed my kitchen into a modern, minimalist space that I love spending time in. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the attention to detail really shows. I'm a very satisfied customer and would highly recommend In2stone to anyone considering new worktops. Well done to the entire team - you've exceeded my expectations!"
