Bold and Breathtaking Calacatta Borghini Marble
Stunning white marble varieties are renowned for soft beauty, striking vein patterns, and a unique, luminescent quality that lends ethereal charm to your living spaces.
Calacatta Borghini marble is considered one of the most attractive and luxurious examples of white marble. What makes this stone unique, and how can it elevate your home interior?
A Sophisticated Marble for Upscale Homes
Part of the Calacatta family, this gorgeous marble shares characteristics with both classic Calacatta and Calacatta Gold varieties while showcasing unique qualities that make it stand out.
The soft white background of Calacatta Borghini marble is marked with dynamic veining in hues of gray, gold, amber, and, in some cases, richer tones of russet and rust.
Aside from the dynamic coloration, you’ll enjoy dramatic variations in veining with this marble, ranging from sharp, pencil-thin strokes to thick, translucent swaths delineating substantial clasts.
With bold veining, slabs of Calacatta Borghini deliver outstanding movement, bringing personality and visual interest to countertops, backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, and more.
A Rare Italian Marble
Like many white marbles, Calacatta Borghini is quarried in Italy, specifically the Carrara region of the Apuan Mountains, where other white marble varieties like Carrara and Statuario are also found. This variety is named for the Borghini Quarry, one of the oldest and best-known quarries in the region, operating for three generations and counting.
Production of this rare marble has waned over the years, limiting the availability of slabs. If you have your heart set on the classic luxury of Calacatta Borghini marble, you’ll need a stone supplier that offers an extensive selection, including rare slabs.
Variations to Complement Any Design
This versatile marble variety makes for an elegant and distinctive addition to any interior, thanks to flowing vein patterns and colors that draw on both warm and cool palettes.
For example, it could add statement style to a timeless, tonal white kitchen when you use it for countertops and a full-height backsplash or a waterfall island that allows patterns to tumble seamlessly from counter to floor.
While Calacatta Borghini marble slabs can easily elevate a minimalist design, this marble is also well-suited to trendy, maximalist interiors.
It pairs beautifully with warm wooden cabinets and flooring and holds its own against the visual impact of heavy-grained planks. Additionally, it can compete with busy tile patterns in saturated colors and decorative wallpapers.
It's an ideal choice for a focal, floor-to-ceiling fireplace surround, especially on a double-height wall with dramatic, vertical, bookmatched slabs. If you have an expansive walk-in shower or wet room with a shower and soaker tub, Calacatta Borghini can add showstopping style and the relaxing vibes of ice floes drifting lazily around you.
Resilient, Enduring Marble Surfaces
Marble is a strong and durable stone with many resilient properties. It’s highly resistant to heat, and as a result, it works well in kitchen and bathroom settings. When sealed, it can also resist staining, scratching, chipping, cracking, and daily wear and tear, which is useful for applications throughout the home.
To enjoy the greatest benefit from your Calacatta Borghini marble surfaces, you’ll need to properly clean and maintain them. Daily cleaning consists of wiping surfaces with a simple solution of gentle soap and water and drying them with a microfiber cloth. You could also use a stone cleanser formulated to preserve the sealant.
Regular sealing helps protect your marble and keep stains and other damage at bay. How often you seal will depend on usage. You may seal once or twice annually or go a couple of years between sealing if you take special care with cleaning.
