Carrara marble is one of the most popular types of marble on the market. It is beloved by designers and homeowners for its classic look and durability. Carrara marble is a metamorphic rock that is formed when limestone is subjected to high temperatures and pressures. This process results in a rock that is incredibly strong and resistant to shattering. Carrara marble is also notable for its beautiful veining, which can range from light gray to white. When used in design, Carrara marble can create a feeling of sophistication and luxury. Whether it is used for countertops, flooring, or accent pieces, Carrara marble adds a touch of elegance to any space.

Other than resealing, we recommend using ordinary surface protectors such as coasters and placemats where possible. When cooking, always use a cutting board, especially when dealing with acidic foods such as lemons that may discolour the stone. If there are spills on the stone, make sure to clean them in a timely manner.
Etching is the erosion damage that occurs when the natural stone comes into contact with acidic substances including citrus, wine, tomatoes, alcohol and some types of juice. Staining refers to the discolouration of stone when a pigmented substance is absorbed and trapped beneath the surface.
The three most popular finish options in our warehouse are; polished, honed (matte), and leathered. We receive the slabs pre-finished from the quarries, and it is up to the client if they would like their fabricator to refinish their purchased slab.
“Bookmatched” slabs describe the mirroring effect that occurs when two adjoined pieces of stone have reversed patterns. The term refers to its likeness to an opened book.
