Calacatta marble slab is neither completely warm nor completely cool. Its base color is a neutral white, and its warm or cool properties depend on:
• Grain color
• Lighting
• Matching elements
Use a neutral cleaner
Acidic or alkaline cleaners, such as citric acid or bleach, should not be used on marble countertops. We recommend using a neutral cleaner specifically formulated for natural stone, which removes dirt without damaging the surface.
White marble slabs are arguably one of the most common and classic choices on the market. Key reasons for their popularity include:
• Strong transparency
• High adaptability
• Unique texture
However, white marble slabs also have drawbacks, such as being more susceptible to dust and requiring more frequent cleaning.
Unsealed marble slabs easily absorb dust, sand, and oil, making cleaning difficult and potentially leaving scratches or stains. Sealing reduces this absorption, preserving the marble slab's pristine finish.
Therefore, sealing marble slabs is not only essential for protecting the stone but also extends its lifespan and aesthetics.
Marble slabs are natural stone primarily composed of calcium carbonate. Their crystalline structure, formed through geological processes, offers a long lifespan due to their physical stability. In theory, if a marble slab is not subject to external damage, chemical attack, or prolonged friction, its lifespan can reach decades or even longer.
Made of calcite crystals and small impurities, marble stone countertops possess a naturally occurring microporous structure, one of their most notable characteristics. These pores, typically ranging in size from nanometers to micrometers, are imperceptible to the naked eye but can absorb liquids and oils.
