Danby Royal: complete guide

History and origin

It comes from Vermont, a state with a long tradition of marble quarrying in the United States, and belongs to the Danby family of marbles. It is found mainly on the North American market, where it is appreciated in residential and commercial projects. In Europe it is less common and is imported on request. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is white, sometimes with slightly warm hues, and the grey veins are linear or cloudy depending on the cut. The pattern can vary from subtle to more pronounced between slabs. A polished finish gives depth to the veining; honed and brushed finishes give a more natural, less reflective effect.

Technical properties (indicative)

Recommended uses

Suitable for floors, cladding, bathrooms, stairs and vanity tops. In the kitchen it can be used if you accept the patina that forms with use; otherwise a material more resistant to acids is better. For exteriors it is assessed case by case with non-slip finishes.

Care and maintenance

Clean daily with a neutral detergent and wipe up spills. Treat the surface with a stain-proofing protector, to be renewed periodically. Avoid acidic and abrasive products.

Pairings

• Satin brass and matt black taps
