Is Viatera Quartz High Quality?
Absolutely. Viatera quartz is known for its exceptional quality and durability. It is composed of up to 93% natural quartz – one of the hardest minerals on earth – combined with high-grade resins and pigments. This engineering gives Viatera superior strength, making it one of the most durable kitchen countertop materials available. Viatera is highly scratch-resistant and can withstand normal heat from cooking, outperforming many other countertop surfaces in everyday resilience. Its non-porous surface means it resists stains and doesn’t harbor bacteria, ensuring a hygienic food-safe workspace.
LX Hausys maintains strict quality control for Viatera slabs, each goes through rigorous inspection to meet high standards. Viatera quartz is also certified by NSF for safe food contact and GREENGUARD for low chemical emissions, underscoring its quality and safety. For added peace of mind, Viatera comes with a 15-year transferable warranty from the manufacturer, reflecting the confidence in its long-term performance.
Where is Viatera Quartz Made?
Viatera quartz is proudly manufactured in the USA. LX Hausys produces Viatera at a state-of-the-art facility in Adairsville, Georgia. This American manufacturing ensures strict quality oversight and consistency in every slab. (Fun fact: LX Hausys was formerly part of LG, bringing Korean innovation together with U.S. craftsmanship.) Viatera’s production emphasizes sustainable practices and environmental responsibility. The Georgia plant operates with eco-friendly processes, and Viatera surfaces are Greenguard certified for indoor air quality.
By choosing Viatera, you’re not only getting a top-notch product but also supporting American manufacturing. Local production can mean better availability and quicker turnaround times for your project, a big plus for homeowners in the Twin Cities looking to enjoy their new countertops sooner.
How Thick is Viatera Quartz?
Viatera quartz countertops come in standard industry thicknesses to suit different design needs. Typically, you’ll find Viatera slabs in 2 cm (~3/4 inch) and 3 cm (~1¼ inch) thicknesses, which are commonly used for kitchen and bathroom counters. In addition, LX Hausys offers a 1.5 cm (~5/8 inch) thick Viatera option in certain designs, tailored mainly for bathroom vanity tops and vertical applications. (This thinner slab is lighter weight – ideal for backsplashes or shower surrounds – but less common for full kitchen countertops.)
No matter which thickness you choose, Viatera delivers the same durable performance and strength. Thicker (3 cm) countertops provide a substantial look and allow for elegant edge profiles without requiring plywood underlayment, while thinner options can be a sleek, modern choice or cost-saving in some cases. All thicknesses of Viatera maintain the product’s high quality, so it really comes down to your aesthetic preference and project requirements.
Is Viatera Quartz Expensive?
Viatera offers excellent value for a high-end quartz. While exact costs depend on the color and project details, Viatera is generally priced competitively with other premium quartz brands. It’s not the cheapest countertop material on the market, but you’re paying for quality craftsmanship and long-term durability. In fact, many Twin Cities homeowners find that Viatera’s benefits make it a cost-effective investment. The material’s durability and low maintenance mean you won’t incur extra costs for sealing (since Viatera never needs sealing) or frequent repairs.
Viatera prices can vary by color group – for example, designs with more complex veining (like luxurious marble-look patterns) or special finishes might be at the higher end, whereas simpler designs or solid colors can be more affordable. Overall, you can expect Viatera to fall in a similar price range as other well-known quartz options.
All American Granite provides free estimates, so you can easily compare the cost of Viatera to other surfaces for your project. Given its longevity and performance, Viatera quartz often proves to be worth the upfront investment, adding value and beauty to your home for years to come.
How Do You Care for Viatera Quartz Countertops?
One of Viatera’s big appeals is how easy it is to care for. These countertops are non-porous and highly stain-resistant, so everyday maintenance is a breeze. For routine cleaning, simply wipe your Viatera counters with a damp cloth or sponge and a mild dish soap or household cleaner – that’s usually all it takes to keep them gleaming. It’s best to clean up spills relatively promptly (especially things like red wine, coffee, or oily substances) just to be safe, but Viatera is formulated to resist absorption and should not stain from common kitchen spills. Unlike natural stone like granite or marble, quartz surfaces do NOT require any sealing, ever. Viatera will remain non-porous and maintain its glossy finish without the need for waxes or sealants.
For tougher or dried-on messes, you can use a gentle non-abrasive cleanser (such as Formula 409®, Bar Keepers Friend®, or similar) and a non-scratch scrub pad. Avoid harsh abrasive pads or cleaners that contain bleach or high pH chemicals; while the quartz is durable, such chemicals can dull the surface or damage the resin binders if left in contact too long.
Viatera is heat-resistant to a good degree (it can handle normal cooking temperatures), but it’s still wise to use trivets or hot pads under hot pots and pans to prevent any potential thermal shock or discoloration. Likewise, use cutting boards, even though quartz is scratch-resistant, avoiding direct cuts will keep your countertop looking pristine longer and protect your knives. With simple care – basically just “wipe up and go”, your Viatera quartz counters will stay beautiful and durable for many years.
What Are the Top Viatera Quartz Colors in 2026?
*Figure: A selection of popular Viatera quartz colors, ranging from elegant marble-inspired whites to bold contemporary designs.* Viatera offers a wide array of design options, so you can find the perfect color and pattern to match your style. In 2026, homeowners are especially loving a mix of marble-look quartz designs and nature-inspired hues that reflect the latest trends. Below we highlight some of the top Viatera colors, including exciting new releases for 2026 and enduring favorites – along with brief descriptions of their style and appeal.
1. Splendor
Splendor is one of Viatera’s brand-new designs, and it truly lives up to its name. This slab features striking golden veining that flows diagonally across a soft white background. The veins vary in thickness, almost as if capturing the graceful movement of air and wind across the surface. Splendor gives you the luxurious, dramatic look of an exotic marble in a maintenance-free quartz, perfect for those who want a bold centerpiece island or vanity. The warm golden-gray veining brings a touch of richness and pairs beautifully with both light and dark cabinetry.
2. Delicato
Delicato is another new introduction that offers an elegant, calming aesthetic. It has a pristine off-white base crisscrossed by delicate gold and gray veins. The pattern is intricate yet subtle, mimicking the look of a refined natural marble with soft veining. Delicato’s gentle contrast makes it extremely versatile, it can lend a sense of quiet luxury to modern minimalist kitchens or complement classic traditional designs. If you love marble patterns but want something not too bold, Delicato provides that perfect balance.
3. Mistica
Mistica is a Viatera color that brings inviting warmth to the marble-look trend. It’s characterized by a warm white background with a harmonious mix of taupe-beige and white veins layered across the slab. The veining in Mistica is artfully blended, creating a realistic depth and a comfortable, earthy vibe. This quartz almost echoes a tranquil natural stone you might find in a serene landscape. Mistica works wonderfully in spaces aiming for a cozy, welcoming feel, think earthy or farmhouse-inspired kitchens that still want a touch of elegance.
4. Calacatta Sol
Calacatta Sol has been a wildly popular Viatera color and continues to shine in 2026. Inspired by luxurious Italian Calacatta marble, this design showcases a crisp white backdrop with bold, sweeping veins in shades of gray and accented hints of gold. It delivers a high-end, classic marble look – perfect for making a statement. Calacatta Sol’s dramatic veining instantly elevates any space, giving your kitchen the look of a marble slab from an upscale villa, but with the benefit of quartz’s easy upkeep. It’s an excellent choice if you want timeless elegance that pairs with white or blue-gray cabinetry and brass or gold fixtures.
5. Calacatta Plata
Calacatta Plata is another sought-after marble-inspired design from Viatera. It features a softer white background adorned with intricate gray veining throughout. The pattern is slightly more subtle than Calacatta Sol, which means Calacatta Plata brings elegance in a more understated way. The look is reminiscent of classic marble quarried in Italy, lending that Old World charm. Calacatta Plata works beautifully in both traditional kitchens (where it can complement rich woods or painted cabinets) and contemporary settings that call for a touch of sophistication without overpowering the decor.
6. Cotton White
Cotton White is a timeless favorite for those who love a clean, pure aesthetic. This Viatera color is a true white quartz with very subtle flecks and wisps of light gray, giving it depth and character without deviating from a neutral palette. Cotton White delivers the look of a classic bright white countertop – it’s crisp and versatile, making it a top choice for modern kitchens, minimalist designs, or anywhere you want a fresh, airy vibe. It complements almost any color scheme, whether you have bold colored cabinets or a monochromatic design. As a durable quartz, Cotton White allows you to achieve that coveted pure white look in your kitchen or bath without the staining issues that can plague natural marble.
7. Velo
Velo is a new Viatera color that artfully blends both soft and bold elements. Set on an off-white surface, Velo’s pattern includes intersecting gray veins – some thin and jagged, others wider and more diffuse – creating a dynamic yet balanced design. There’s subtle marbling in the background that adds a cloud-like depth to the slab. The result is a quartz that feels both modern and organic, as if capturing motion in stone. Velo would suit contemporary kitchens that want a bit of visual interest or transitional spaces seeking a unique twist on the classic gray-and-white theme.
8. Dorato
Dorato is another of Viatera’s 2025 debuts, notable for its rich and layered appearance. It presents an off-white base interlaced with jagged veins in warm taupe and golden-brown tones. The veining has a flowing, almost wave-like pattern that evokes a sense of calm and natural rhythm. At the same time, the warm color palette of Dorato adds charisma and depth – it’s a great choice if you want a countertop that isn’t just white/gray but still feels neutral and earthy. Dorato pairs nicely with wood accents and can bring a comforting warmth to kitchens and bathrooms, all while providing that high-end stone look.
How Does Viatera Compare to Other Quartz Brands?
Viatera is among the leading quartz brands, and All American Granite offers several others in the same league.

Each of these brands provides a diverse selection of colors, patterns, and finishes to suit different tastes.
