Carrara marble is sophisticated, seamless and subdued. As a marble, Carrara is famous for its very fine crystalline structure and grain that makes it appear refined, supple and translucent. It is precisely due to these beautiful characteristics that it continues to be a beloved material. It can be found in sculptures like Michelangelo's David with its ability to resemble flesh and fabric. Today, Carrara marble is also a modern favourite for elegant bathrooms and kitchens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Carrara marble is celebrated for its elegant off-white or blue-gray base, beautifully accented by soft, feathery gray veining. Its distinctive patterns and timeless luxury have made it a popular choice among homeowners, designers, and furniture makers, adding a sophisticated touch to any space.
Carrara marble is particularly vulnerable to etching, which happens when acidic substances—such as lemon juice, vinegar, or wine—come into contact with its surface. If these spills aren’t cleaned up promptly, they can leave dull marks that damage the smooth finish and diminish the marble’s natural shine.
Carrara marble is generally priced slightly higher than some granites, though certain rare granites can be more exclusive and costly. Many clients choose Carrara marble because they prefer its classic, elegant appearance over the broader range of colors and patterns found in granite.
Carrara marble can be used in showers, but it requires careful consideration. Its timeless elegance and natural beauty make it a popular choice; however, because it is a porous stone, it demands diligent maintenance and proper sealing to withstand the moisture and prevent damage in wet environments.
