What Type of Marble is Right For You?

Marble tiles convey sophistication and luxury. It’s a strong, natural stone that has been used for centuries in design without wavering in popularity. What you may not know is that there are several variations which come in a range of colour, vein patterns, and grain. Here are some of the most common.

Carrara

Carrara marble is a popular choice for homes. This classic white tile takes on a blue-grey appearance from the thin, feathered grey veins often used for countertops, backsplashes, or bathroom floors. It adds a bright, clean feel to any room.

Calacatta

Often mistaken for Carrara marble, Calacatta marble is also generally white but with darker grey veins that add a striking contrast. It is often considered one of the most luxurious and highly desirable marbles, due to its rarity.

Statuario

Statuario marble comes in two main varieties: Statuario Bianco and Statuario Venato. Statuario Bianco is luxury tile most similar to Calacatta, but with thicker, bolder veins splashed across the slabs. Statuario Venato is generally more affordable than the former, with a similar crisp white background and busy veining patterns.

Emperador

Straying from the classic white and grey marble, Emperador is the most popular brown marble on the market. It is a comes in a variety of shades, beautifully lined with thin brown veins that radiates warm tones.
