“Italian marbles are very similar in appearance: white with gray veining. To add to the confusion, much of Calacatta comes from Carrara, Italy. In general, Carrara tends to be grayer with softer veining, while Calacatta is whiter with bolder more dramatic veining. There are additional subtle differences”

“Marble-like porcelain tile border around traditional subway tile inset. A light brown grout is used to tie it all together.”
“high end marble. Can you tell me what is the brand and name of this tile?”
“The "marble" tile is from a company called Pental Marble and Granite here in Portland, OR. I'm not sure of the manufacturer. Many of the tile showrooms are carrying great look-alikes these days. Look for one in your area - I'm sure you'll find something that looks just as good.”
“about the marble look a like”
“@yelda - I'm sorry I don't have the color information available. We used a Custom Building Products color. It was selected to pull out the "tan" colors in the marble tile.”

“Is that a honed finish on the marble?”
“using marble for my island - kids/we live hard, etc & was just wondering your perspective. That marble is gorgeous. Also, which line of cabinetry was used?
Lovely - thanks!”
“such as marble, you are better off using the marble in a matte finish. Remember, the more shiny or polished the marble is, the more you will notice etch marks! Besides, marble is supposed to have character, how is it that it has been used in Europe for thousands of years and no one ever complains about”
“that is Calacatta marble--a very beautiful stone!”
“Can i put something fairly hot on a marble countertop?”
“to use marble for their countertops but they continuously use it on floors. Floors take more abuse than countertops. The only disadvantage with marble, travertine and limestones versus granite is that they are not acid resistant which means if anything acidic makes contact with the stone it will leave”

“Carrara Marble,and what size are the tile on the back spash.”
“That's Calacatta Marble (most likely) or Statuary. It looks like a standard polish.”
“I just looked at A LOT of marble in several stone yards because I'm going for the same look. Looks like honed statuary marble. Calacatta gold is another marble that can resemble this but can show some yellow lines”
“That's Calacatta Marble (most likely) or Statuary Marble. It looks like a standard polish.”
“The veining of this material makes me think that it's marble over granite. Check out this featured ideabook on two very popular types of lighter marble commonly used as kitchen countertops.

“heard that marble countertops stain? Do you have any advice?”
“polished marble? Which is better for the kitchen?”
“a tile,marble&terrazzo business I do know how sensitive this an many gorgeous counter tops can be. Even with sealing them, the marble will still stain over time (esp. if used as a countertop). There are several websites that can offer assistance as a guide. Here's a link to the first site I pulled up”
“about marble. If you are patient and don't obsess about keeping things pristine, over time it will patina and be beautiful. I went to Eataly in NYC last week and saw the marble counter tops and floors in the vicinity of the bakery. They had such a beautiful patina on them. So now, I'm not as upset”

“Marble Kitchen Counters
Marble has an unrivaled”
“Marble Kitchen CountersMarble has an unrivaled, classic look that always seems to be in style. For lovers of white kitchens in particular, marble offers more variety than almost any other material. Marble is known more for the patina it develops with use than for its durability. It's a softer stone”
“basics: Marble is a natural stone composed of calcium carbonate; it's in the same stone family as limestone and travertine. Color variations occur in marble due to mineral impurities in the stone. Slabs, rather than tiles, are typically used for countertops, where the dramatic veining can be displayed”
