The stone
Close up.
Calacatta is a family of stones from several quarries, sold under names such as Borghini, Vagli and Oro, each with its own ground and veining. Names vary by quarry and trader, so choose by the look: we send photographs of the actual slabs, you confirm the style, and we plan where the strongest vein falls on each piece.

- 01
Softer than it looks
Marble is softer than granite or quartzite and reacts with acids: lemon, wine and some cleaners can dull a polished surface. It is at its best in bathrooms, furniture, fireplaces and walls.

Finish for the use
Polished brings out the colour; honed hides wear and etching better. On a kitchen top or a bar, choose honed and seal it.
- 03
Read the whole slab
Veining changes across a slab and from slab to slab. We send photographs of the actual slabs, and you choose where the strongest movement falls before cutting.
