Following design trends can be fun, but timeless beauty has its appeal as well. If you’re looking for a surface material that is guaranteed to be in style and in high demand for decades, there’s nothing quite like white marble flooring and marble countertops.

Marble tile, and marble slabs are available in many different colorways, all with their own subtle character. Either matte or polished, they speak of luxury, while also fitting well into more casual décor schemes. Perhaps most importantly, white marble continues to be one of the most desired stone surfaces for home buyers, so it’s an investment that will definitely add to your home’s resale value.

Choose polished Carrara White for sleek, traditional looks, or a honed finish for a more casual appearance. This marble is tough enough for any residential purpose, and may even be used in commercial applications.

Crema Marfil Premium

If you need a classic, neutral colorway for a small room or as backdrop for another dramatic design element, the low variation in Crema Marfil Premium may be your ideal choice. It has just enough pattern to give it movement and appeal, but not enough to overwhelm your décor. Crema Marfil is available in large slab and tile format.
