Crema Nova: complete guide
Crema Nova is a light cream marble, understated and versatile. It is chosen when a neutral, bright background is needed that adapts to different styles.
History and origin
It is an imported material widespread on the international market among beige and cream marbles. This family of stones is widely used for floors and cladding in residential and commercial settings. Crema Nova is offered as an alternative to the better-known creams, with a delicate tone. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The background is light cream, with slightly warmer or lighter hues. Clouding or fine soft veins may appear, varying from slab to slab. Polishing makes it bright; honing softens its tone.
