1. Why is Calacatta Medici Marble so unique?
The Medici Family hailed from Florence, Italy in the first half of the 15th century. Their sponsorships in art and architecture during the Renaissance helped to create many of the world’s finest paintings, sculpture, and architecture. IRG’s Calacatta Medici Marble derives its name from the Medici family. As the name implies, it is an Italian beauty embodying the look and feel of traditional luxury. Even today, the classic Italian white marble enjoys vast popularity for its elegant, understated design in all forms.
2. Where can Calacatta Medici marble be used?
Desire for white marble bathrooms and kitchen countertops made of Calacatta has endured for centuries, yet Calacatta Medici is by no means an ordinary choice. Its crisp, elegant look complements a variety of interior styles and applications. More contemporary kitchen designs, for example, might pair this Calacatta with complimentary elements like black or brass fixtures.
3. How do I care for this stone?
Marble slabs require sealing. And because marble is sensitive to acids, you’ll need to use a cutting board religiously and wipe away tomato sauce and lemon juice quickly. But over the years, marble develops a patina—which is part of its charm and beauty. Despite requiring some attention, maintaining and sealing your marble is a DIY project that doesn’t take much time.
