The thick, striking veining of Calacatta Marble makes it stand out. It is distinguished by having fewer, more dramatic, and unstructured veins than marbles like Carrara, which have an abundance of soft veins. The hue’s calming white background, veining, and colour tone give it a universal appeal among designers and architects. (These marbles get more expensive and sought-after as the background becomes whiter.) Other marbles may have so many fine veins that there is no recognisable pattern to shape into a design, making them less effective than Calacatta Marble in bookmatched installations.

Calacatta Marble is available from SWASTIK in six different colour options: Classic, Gold, Gold Premium, Lasa, Splendor, and Vagli. Golden to grey are some of the colours of the veins. The neutral tones of Calacatta, when combined with the white background, make it simple to use them with either dark or light woods and other materials to emphasise or minimise architectural features.

Rarity:

High demand and restricted supply typically correlate to higher prices, hence the terms “high-end” and “rare” go hand in hand. In addition to having a unique appearance, Calacatta Marble is also unique in that there is only one quarry in the world, which is situated in Carrara, Italy. (Consumers frequently misunderstand Calacatta Marble for Carrara White Marble, which also originates from and shares its name with this area. The output of Calacatta Marble from this quarry is constrained and carefully regulated. Seasonal variables also have an impact on production because Carrara’s mountaintop quarrying is especially difficult during the coldest winter months. These two elements contribute to the price and scarcity of this natural stone.

Applications:

Since Calacatta Marble is a luxury stone and was first introduced to us by Michelangelo, it is frequently used in prominent locations. For instance, business buildings frequently have entryways with Calacatta Marble flooring. But Calacatta Marble slabs and tiles are advised for many indoor uses where elegance is sought, including kitchen counters and backsplashes. Today’s elegant residences and executive boardrooms both have counters made of calacatta marble.

Marble tile is frequently used in bathrooms for vanities, shower walls, and tub surrounds because it is simple to clean and maintain, and since many people view bathrooms as a place of richness. Calacatta Marble is also a popular choice for non-traffic areas like fireplace surrounds and hearths due to its contemporary appeal and the lovely patterns that will continue to appear with each viewing.

With more than 50 marble colour and pattern possibilities, including 6 colour types of Calacatta Marble in slabs and tiles, and options for both honed and polished surfaces, SWASTIK has the widest collection of marble countertops available.
