Bianco Lasa marble: the complete guide

History and origin

It is quarried in the mountains above Lasa (Laas), in the Val Venosta, at high altitude: an ancient quarrying tradition that has supplied marble for monuments and buildings in Italy and Central Europe. Its compact crystalline structure also makes it suitable for outdoor use. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request as blocks, slabs and custom work.

Look and veining

A very pure white background with a fine crystalline grain that gives the surface a slight sparkle. Veins are rare and delicate: light grey in the classic grade, golden in the Vena Oro variety. It is a bright, uniform white, suited to those looking for continuity.

Technical properties (indicative)

Recommended uses

Suitable for prestigious indoor floors and cladding, bathrooms, stairs, vanity tops, sculpture and furniture. Its good compactness also allows outdoor use for cladding, thresholds and street furniture, with suitable thicknesses and finishes. The Vena Oro variety is ideal for bathrooms and furniture pieces.

Care and maintenance

Neutral detergents and water; avoid acids and descalers. Outdoors, a water-repellent limits dirt and moss; indoors, a stain-proof sealer protects the most used surfaces. Maintain polished surfaces with soft cloths and no waxy products.

Pairings

• With larch or fir for a contemporary Alpine style.
• With brass to enhance the Vena Oro variety.
• With local grey stones in floors and frames.
