Caliza Zarci: the complete guide

History and origin

Spain, especially in its south-eastern regions, has a long quarrying tradition of beige limestones, exported all over the world. Caliza Zarci belongs to this family of materials, used in residential and commercial construction. It is offered in slabs, tiles and made-to-measure pieces. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is light beige with a fine, even grain, sometimes with small spots or barely perceptible fossil traces. Variation between slabs is moderate, with slight differences in tone. Honed or brushed, it has a soft, natural look; polished, it is warmer and more reflective.

Technical properties (indicative)

Recommended uses

Suitable for indoor floors, stairs, wall cladding and bathrooms. Outdoors it is used for façades and paving with textured finishes, taking the climate into account. Not well suited to kitchen worktops and surfaces exposed to stains and acids.

Care and maintenance

Protect with a water- and oil-repellent impregnating sealer and clean with neutral stone products. Avoid limescale removers, vinegar and aggressive detergents. For floors, use doormats at entrances to reduce abrasion from sand.
