FEATURES
Carrara marble or Bianco Carrara is a marble quarried in the Apuan Alps. There are 3 main types: Bianco di Carrara, Statuario and Calacatta. The differences are related to the veining and whiteness of the colour.
COLOUR
Carrara marble is made famous by its crystal white colour with grey veins.
APPLICATIONS
The physical characteristics of Carrara marble make it an excellent marble for both indoor and outdoor use. Its hardness and porosity have, over time, favoured its wide use in paving works both in domestic and commercial settings and in outdoor public areas.
