Carrara marble is a white Italian marble with fine gray veining that has been a symbol of timeless luxury for centuries. It is durable, low-maintenance, and moisture-resistant. At Renier Carrara marble is custom-cut into transoms and window sills, then polished to create a luxurious look.
Carrara marble comes from the quarries around the city of Carrara in Tuscany, Italy. The stone ranges in color from white to light gray and features a fine, irregular veining that makes each piece unique. As a calcareous natural stone, marble requires the same care as other limestones: avoid acidic products and ensure proper protection against stains.
