When people are drawn to natural stone countertops in either the bathroom or kitchen, one of the most popular choices is marble. Really it is understandable, it is a hugely attractive stone and has been around for thousands of years in art, statues, buildings and more. You can get a lot of different looks and colors depending on whether you choose marble slabs Manahawkin or elsewhere, or some other option, and with who you use to install them. The thing to keep in mind at all times is that there are no two slabs that are exactly alike. For some that is what makes it so desirable and for some that is why they prefer to choose another option! Here is a look at five Italian and Spanish marble options that are popular in a lot of homes right now.
1) Calacatta
This is one of the best marbles you can get and comes from the Carrara area in Italy. It is a rare marble and that makes it a very desirable and very costly material. Calacatta marble slabs Bayville are most commonly white with dark gray veins and then a hint of gold. Part of its popularity is its historical importance as it was a favorite material for Michelangelo. It is stunning and very hard to resist.
2) Carrara
If you cannot find or afford Calacatta then you might choose Carrara instead. This is found in much higher quantities and is still very beautiful and functions well as a countertop for any home’s bathrooms or kitchens. It is white like Calcatta but not quite as bright but rather than having gray veins it has a different shade of white.
3) Crema Marfil
This is a Spanish marble and comes in a variety of colors though the most often chosen is a creamy yellow that has a range of different colored veins. It is a warm stone and makes any kitchen feel welcoming and homey. Such marble slabs Manahawkin are a great choice for kitchens or bathrooms and they work with a wide range of different schemes and styles. It is also popular as a covering for walls, backsplashes and flooring.
4) Dark Emperador
Another Spanish marble, Emperador comes in a range of appearances though Dark is the more popular choice currently. It is a lovely deep chocolate brown and has irregular veins that add beauty and warmth to your kitchen or bathroom. It also makes a great choice around fireplaces or as flooring.
5) Milan Gray
Another Italian marble Milan Gray is as you might guess from the name, quarried in Milan, Italy. It is a deep gray in color and the veining is a lighter gray. These marble slabs Bayville are wonderful in contemporary homes, and great for those who want a cool and uniform appearance. As well as making lovely elegant countertops it is also used on shower walls, as tile backsplash and as flooring.
