Marble

Classic and elegant | Great for bathrooms, fireplaces, furniture tops | Looks great polished or honed 

Everyone marvels at the elegance of marble. Marble has a legendary elegance. It was used throughout the ancient world because it was soft enough to be worked with tools but hard enough to last through the ages.
Once considered the domain of the rich and famous, marble can be used in many applications throughout your home.
Marble is crystallized limestone that is not as hard as granite but more porous than granite, making it more susceptible to staining and therefore is more suitable for your foyers, bathrooms, fireplaces, studies or libraries.

This natural stone comes in many different colour variations and usually displays a prominent veining pattern with luxurious swirls and patches of contrasting colour that make marble famous.

Some popular colour variations today are Crema Marfil, a light tan colour with rich, creamy veins, and Dark Emperador, a popular dark brown which has dramatic veins of white.

Carrara marbles, also very popular, come in varying shades of white.

A note to you on marble colour: It is important to know that green and black marbles are not recommended for wet areas of the home, such as a shower. Green marbles will absorb water and then curl and warp. Black marbles, when wet, can exhibit “spalling” at veins, which means small pieces of the stone may break away.

Stone is a product of nature.
