Bring a Piece of European White Luxury to Your Interiors

Hello again everyone!

In our last post, we talked a little bit about the use of marble in the wet areas, what sizes and finishes are more suitable etc; and mentioned about the increasing trend for the white marbles. For those of you who don't know about the different types of white marbles, we thought that we'd give you some information about what characterizes different types of white marbles we carry in our portfolio.

We carry mainly 4 different types of white marbles which are all suitable for both residential and commercial use:

Calacatta Gold is an exquisite white marble from Italy, and it is uniqueness comes from the deep gray veins with occasional taupe/gold highlights on creamy white background. This is the most expensive white marble on the market. Real Calacatta Gold is harder-than-ever to find nowadays because of the increasing cost of excavation and decreasing availability at the quarries in Italy.
Calacatta Gold is also known as Calacatta Oro.

Our Calacatta Bianco is unique to DEKO Tile. This marble is actually quarried in Greece and resembles Calacatta Gold in its creamy/white background and gray/brownish vein structure. This marble is significantly more budget-friendly than the Italian Calacatta Gold but still serves as a good alternative for those customers looking for that simple but sophisticated white look for their interiors.

White Carrara, also known as Bianco Carrara, is another Italian white marble. Carrara is very popular for its subtle, cloudy light gray background with deeper gray veins. The use of Carrara tiles with Carrara mosaics accented with black, such as the basketweave, and the hexagons has become very popular. This marble is widely preferred to create a more art-deco look in the bathrooms.

Finally, Thassos White is the purest of all white marbles. This snow white marble is quarried in Greece, and has a more crystallized structure with occasional light gray highlights. Thassos White is the second-most expensive white marble following Italian Calacatta Gold.
