The quality of the Carrara material is defined by the whiteness of the background and the composition of the gray veining. At the quarry, lots are graded C or CD, where “C” quality has a whiter background while “CD” is slightly more grayish. The whiter the background color, the higher the quality of the material.

White Carrara Marble can be used both indoors and outdoors and is particularly suitable for flooring; this type of material is also widely used by sculptors for works of art. The possible creations are: floors, stairs, tables, sinks, kitchen tops, shower trays, decorations and general coverings.
