Bethel White Granite: the complete guide

History and origin

The name comes from the town of Bethel, in Vermont, an area with a granite-quarrying tradition. It is known for its homogeneous appearance, which makes it suitable for architecture as well as for funerary and monumental art. The regularity of the pattern makes it easier to match different slabs on large surfaces. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is pure white, with small grey and black crystals evenly distributed. Variation between slabs is low, an advantage for extensive floors and cladding. Polished, it looks brilliant white; flamed or bush-hammered, it becomes lighter and matt, ideal outdoors.

Technical properties (indicative)

Recommended uses

Suitable for kitchen worktops, bathrooms, floors, stairs, façades, street furniture and monuments. It has no particular restrictions on use.

Care and maintenance

A neutral detergent for routine cleaning. A stain-proofing protector is useful especially on flamed or bush-hammered surfaces, which are more porous than polished ones.

Pairings

• natural maple or beech wood
• brushed steel
• navy blue and slate grey tones
