-Athena Q-
Description & Features
Athena Q is a long-vein design in warm tones, from a range of quartz slabs by three Far East producers who work on their own production lines instead of Breton. Veins in beige, champagne and light gold move across a bright white background: the main ones are wide, with a broken, granular interior of cream and beige fragments, while fine hairlines in golden beige branch off them. The flow is mainly diagonal, with one bolder vein running almost vertically down one side, and the contrast stays low – the look recalls a soft Calacatta Oro. The slabs are shaped one by one by hand, which explains both the natural feel of the pattern and the small differences between them. As a quartz material with a resin binder it has no pores, needs no sealing and resists stains; no official technical values are given, so the table shows the typical values of the category. It is offered in a polished finish, with sizes and thickness subject to confirmation. It is suited to kitchen countertops, islands, bathroom vanity tops and wall cladding; it needs a mild neutral cleaner, a trivet under hot cookware and protection from the sun.
Why choose Athena Q
- Warm beige-gold veins on bright white
- Realistic granular texture inside the veins
- Low contrast – a soft Calacatta look
- No sealing – non-porous surface
Technical Specifications
| Material | Engineered quartz composite – quartz grains bound with resin; each slab shaped individually by hand on non-Breton production lines |
| Color & Pattern | Bright white background with long beige-gold veins of granular texture and fine golden hairlines |
| Hardness (Mohs) | ≈7 (typical for quartz surfaces) |
| Density (g/cm³) | ≈2.3–2.5 (typical range for quartz surfaces – not stated for this product) |
| Water Absorption (%) | Very low (typically < 0.1% for quartz surfaces – no value stated for this product) |
| Frost Resistance | Recommended for interiors; no freeze–thaw test data are published for this product and, because of the resin binder, permanent sun exposure (UV) can change the colour |
| Acid Sensitivity | High stain resistance thanks to the non-porous surface; no chemical-resistance class is published – avoid strong acids, alkalis and solvents |
| Recommended Finishes | Polished |
