Marble
Marble is a very hard, durable stone with a soft, warm look and tremendous variation in color and texture over its face.
A favorite material of interior designers, it makes its mark as a feature stone, the focal point of a room.
Often used as a slab for veneer or countertop applications, marble also stands up structurally and carves well to create shapes and columns.
Our Ancient Golden Marble takes an antique finish that has a lustrous sheen.
Our Golden Beige Marble from Egypt is like butter to fabricate, very receptive to carving.
Marble has a more dramatic matrix and broader range of colors than other stones because of the dynamic forces that created it.
Marble began as a limestone experiencing several metamorphoses that included dramatic movement and extreme heat. This process created new minerals—not present in the original deposit—that recrystalized to form marble.
When considering marble for your project, approve several samples to determine its full range of variation before making a decision on appearance.
The calcitic material that composes marble, similar to the carbonate of limestone, makes it vulnerable to acids. This is ideal for achieving a weathered or aged appearance, either by applying a finish or exposing to weather.
