Bianco Dolomiti: the complete guide

Bianco Dolomiti is a white marble with grey veins, bright and classic in appearance. The name recalls dolomite, a mineral that can accompany calcite in these materials.

History and origin

White marbles with grey veins are among the most sought-after of all for bathrooms, kitchens and floors. Bianco Dolomiti is a material found on the international market under a trade name that does not correspond to a single quarrying area. Its characteristics may therefore vary depending on the supply. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is white, sometimes slightly greyish, with thin or web-like grey veins. The density of the veining and the tone of the background vary from slab to slab. Polishing gives a brilliant white, while honing creates a matt, soft surface.

Care and maintenance

Use neutral detergents specific to marble and avoid acids and limescale removers. A stain-proofing impregnating sealer is recommended, especially on worktops and light surfaces. Coffee, wine and oil stains should be removed immediately.

FAQ

Is it a dolomitic marble?

The name suggests so, but the composition may vary depending on the supply; if needed, it is checked on the batch.

How does it differ from a Carrara white?

Both are whites veined with grey, but they differ in origin, grain and pattern: comparing the slabs is decisive.

Can it be used in the kitchen?

Yes, but like any marble it is sensitive to acids: a honed finish and a good stain-proofing treatment are best.
