Calacatta Marble

What Makes this Marble Unique?

Because of their origin, uniqueness, history, and stunning colours and veins, Calacatta Marbles are highly popular. This natural stone’s distinctive dark and gold veins stand against a striking white surface. Any room it resides in can come alive bright and shiny, exuding richness and exclusivity.

The Calacatta Marble comes in several varieties, like the Borghini, Gold, and Michelangelo. Because no other marble Calacatta stone has the same unique tones as these, it’s highly uncommon and sought after by enthusiasts. Also, since it’s harvested from the mountain with minimal production, the overall value and market rate are high.

How Should I Care for the Calacatta Marble?

When caring for your Calacatta Marble benchtops, we recommend avoiding acidic solutions on the surfaces. Acidity and marble don’t mix well, and you risk etching your luxury Calacatta with any acidic cleaning solutions like vinegar, lemons, and more.

Another important rule is to wipe away spills immediately. To prevent ruining the Calacatta stone benchtop, spilt water, oil, and food stains should be cleaned immediately using a damp cloth. Marble, being naturally porous, can retain particles that can discolour the white background. Keep an absorbent cloth on hand for such situations to avoid stains and mould growing on your Calacatta marble.

Avoid using abrasive cleaners when cleaning, too. While removing stains, aggressive cleansers can also strip your Calacatta Marble slab of its varnish and protective layer. Use only smooth, soft cleaning tools like sponges and towels. Hard brushes and scouring pads can produce scratches on your marble, making it appear dull, which is wrong for a high-end marble like Calacatta.

Calacatta Marble is quarried in the Carrara region of Italy, which has been famed for its marble production since ancient times. One of the most famous and highly prized types of marble in the world, It is a sumptuous creamy white, perfect for creating luxurious, classic marble features.
