01 · The surface
What is Viatera quartz?
Viatera is the engineered quartz collection from LX Hausys. It includes understated patterns and broad, marble-inspired veining for indoor countertops. The colour and finish you choose shape how the surface looks next to your cabinetry, tile and hardware.
If you’re comparing quartz with granite, laminate or another surface, start with our countertop materials guide.
02 · Colour and finish
Three Viatera colours to compare.
Set your cabinet and tile samples beside each colour in daylight and under the lights you use at night. Start with the background tone, then look at the size and direction of the veins across a full slab.
Minuet
A light background with delicate Carrara-style veining. Compare it with white or grey cabinet finishes.
Soprano
Cream white with soft, darker shading. Try it beside natural wood or a warm cabinet colour.
Calacatta Suprema
Brown and grey veining on a warm off-white base. Consider it for an island where the full pattern can be seen.
The colour bands are illustrative. We confirm the exact colour, finish and slab availability for your project.
03 · Project planning
Plan where the veining will run.
Islands and waterfall ends
Decide which side of the island you’ll see most often. If you want a vein to continue down a waterfall end, we’ll review how the pieces can be cut and where the seams will land.
Matching quartz or tile backsplash
For a slab backsplash, share the wall height, outlet locations and range hood dimensions. If you prefer tile, we can include kitchen backsplash installation in the project scope.
Sink cutouts and exposed edges
Share the sink and cooktop models, the finished overhang and which edges will show. If you’re keeping the cabinets, we’ll review their condition and support before templating.
04 · The written quote
What affects the cost of a Viatera countertop?
The slab layout can change the amount of material needed. A matching backsplash or a waterfall panel that follows the island’s veining can affect both slab quantity and fabrication.

- Layout and cutouts. Vein direction, seams, sink and cooktop openings, exposed edges and backsplash height.
