The 3D scene is generated in real time from an actual photograph of the slab and is intended as a guide. In natural stone the veining, tone and texture differ on every slab; the final choice should be made on a physical sample or slab approval.
Colour range sampled from the slab
With its characteristic veining over a white ground, Calacatta Vena is a marble frequently chosen for bathroom applications.
Care note
Marble is sensitive to acids (lemon, vinegar, wine, limescale remover). Use a neutral pH cleaner, wipe up spills at once and impregnate every 1–2 years.
