👉 I explain why to choose Marble !
Because it is a natural and unique material that cannot be reproduced by other materials. Because of its uniqueness and inimitability, it differs from any other natural stone and is able to give vitality to a floor, or a wall covering, because one slab is never the same as another, or repeatable, and every single piece of marble tells its own story, through the diversity of its structure.
It has great versatility due to its non-reproducible colour changes, which is why it is an exclusive choice in the creation of floors, wall tiles, kitchen countertops and bathroom tops. It confers timeless elegance and will always have a fundamental place in home furnishings because it will never go out of fashion !
Therefore, it is not only used to cover floors or walls, but also for fireplaces and stoves because of its resistance to heat and wear. It is in fact the oldest material used for art and sculpture over the millennia, and in the present day it symbolizes luxury, refinement and sophistication. Depending on one’s needs, there are materials available that are more suitable than others, for outdoor or indoor use, capable of influencing the overall aesthetics of the environment to be created. It furnishes classic or rustic spaces and can provide a touch of class in residential settings, up to increasing prestige in upscale settings of high design.
Marble is a crystalline limestone rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate and is derived, precisely, from recrystallization during metamorphic processes of its component rocks. It withstands everyday wear and tear, which is why it is suitable for both indoor areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms and stairways, and high-traffic areas such as lobbies or outdoor walkways and flooring in shopping malls, airports, hospitals, etc.
In brushed, honed, polished, antiqued and sandblasted, bush-hammered and flamed finishes, cladding, flooring, and furnishing accessories applicable in the building and naval, hotel, public and private furnishing sectors can be made. Pleasant to walk on even barefoot, marble is also intended for use in spas and wellness centres for it lends itself to being worked on the surface with finishes such as sandblasting, tumbling, antiquing, and chiselling that make it slip-resistant and pleasant to the touch > >Marble flooring made in Italy, antiqued marble rustic effect by BRC.
With its natural beauty, durability, and practicality, it is available in multiple colours to suit any style of classic or modern decor. Unique shades, from the lightest to black, passing through an infinity of iridescent and never mundane nuances. Preciousness and refinement will always be the common denominators when choosing this product that nature offers us with its characteristic veining. In fact, the veins of marble represent its particularity and should be accepted as they are present in nature : they are not defects but an expression of refinement and originality capable of making each plate different from the other >Marble and Granite Kitchen Countertops, Limestone and Carrara Tops.
In choosing the right shade among the many facets of marble colours, we suggest among the whites, Bianco Carrara to the prestigious Statuario and Calacatta, which give unique visual effects, appreciated not only in Italy but also abroad. Among the dark ones, Marquina Nero marble or Blue Belgio, for large spaces in modern environments with a minimal and contemporary style. The ‘combination of Black and White is certainly of greater aesthetic impact for homes with a contemporary, minimal and modern style. A strong combination, but at the same time harmonious and elegant, for refined and trendy spaces.
But between the white and black marble, there is no shortage of colour palette ranging from Pink to Red, Yellow to Brown to Grey and Green.
Neutral colours such as Travertine, Botticino, and Limestone, which we offer in a wide range, are versatile and easily matched with countless styles of decor. They are understated shades that, thanks to their ease of creating contrasts, allow for frequent changes and modifications of styles in the various environments in which the flooring is placed. This is why they find and have found in recent years many confirmations from Interior Designers >Marble tiles glazed, antiqued, honed, satinated, matt, frosted, polished.
The installation of natural stone, in general, is not a detail to be underestimated, because it plays a key role in the decor, and influences the overall aesthetics of the environment in which the marble is laid. It must be entrusted to professionals with a good knowledge of this product, which requires experience and skill in attention to detail for a workmanlike result. From the preparation of the laying surface and adhesive, to the laying of the tiles with subsequent drying, to the covering of the floor to avoid inappropriate steps that could compromise the laying, are the main steps to be followed for a correct and optimal laying of all natural stones.
The choice of laying type is absolutely personal, but also related to the architectural and environmental context, which is why it should be entrusted to professionals in the field. Among the many types of laying, one can opt for the classic checkers laying, with square, diagonal or straight marble tiles, opus laying typical of Roman paving with modules of various sizes, rectangular laying or running laying by exploiting the irregularity of the lengths to create a wavy and lively effect.
Marble can be used for floor heating as it transmits heat well. In cleaning, it does not require any special efforts, let alone specific or special products, to maintain its natural beauty. In particular, in brushed or antiqued finishes, the use of water possibly mixed with alcohol or bicarbonate as sanitizers and purifiers is sufficient. Aggressive cleaners or chemicals are not recommended, which would risk corroding the marble, damaging it in such a way that it would become difficult to recover or restore. If well cared for, with proper maintenance, it will stand the test of time and remain as good as new.
With precision and accuracy, we carry out the processing and cutting of stones in-house, taking advantage of block cutting or directly of slabs, thus enabling us to meet any customer’s needs, both in sizes and finishes, in the realization of simple paving or cladding, up to open stain.
