Crema Marbella: complete guide
Crema Marbella is a cream-coloured commercial marble with a warm tone and light veining. It is chosen for bright interiors with a Mediterranean feel.
History and origin
It is an imported material found on the international market in the cream marble family. Geologically, like the other creams, it is normally a compact, polishable limestone. Shade and availability depend on current supplies. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The background is a warm cream, beige in places, with fine lighter or golden veins and soft clouding. Variation between slabs is moderate. Polishing enhances its golden hues; honed and brushed finishes create a more textured effect.
