Marble is a natural stone that is being created by the transformation of other stones through the action of high temperatures and intense pressures. It is a versatile material that can be used in many places throughout the home. Commonly used for kitchen countertops. This stone is also a great choice for fireplaces, bathroom vanities, cladding, flooring.
Like so many natural formations, every piece is unique and matchless. The chromatic uniformity of its base, the type of grain, and the thickness, as well as drawing of its veins, are characteristic and unique to each variety
TIP: When considering any stone tile, ask for at least 3 samples of the current lot to see the shade variation.
You might have heard of the different marble types. Hereby we brought you the three classic marble types -white marble with gray veining- that people often mix up.
CARRARA
Carrara comes from Carrara, Tuscany, Italy. It is undoubtedly one of the most appreciated marbles worldwide, and also considered as a symbol of quality and distinction. Carrara has a more subtle appearance with grayish background with subtle gray flecks and feathery, linear veining. It is mainly used indoors, particularly for bathrooms, living rooms and kitchens
CALACATTA
Calacatta marble is also quarried in Carrara, Italy. It has a very peculiar chromatism. It is whiter than Carrara with bolder more dramatic veining. Commonly used for floors, backsplash or countertops.
STATUARIO
Statuario is the most precious Italian marble. It has heavy, bold veining that can range from gold to gray mixed with thinner patterns. Statuario has limited availability and high demand, therefore it is the most expensive among these 3 marble types.
