Didyma: complete guide

History and origin

It is a marble of Turkish origin whose name recalls ancient Didyma, on the Aegean coast. It is distributed on the international market in slabs and tiles for floors and cladding. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is white or white-grey, with grey veins of varying intensity, sometimes dense and parallel. Pattern and tone change between slabs and batches, with lighter and darker areas alternating. Polished, it shows sharp contrasts; honed, a more uniform, contemporary effect.

Technical properties (indicative)

Recommended uses

Suitable for interior floors, cladding, bathrooms, stairs and thresholds. The more heavily veined slabs lend themselves to walls with a book-matched pattern. For exteriors and kitchen worktops more resistant materials are preferable.

Care and maintenance

Clean with neutral detergents and dry wet surfaces. Avoid acidic products, bleach and abrasive sponges. Protect with an impregnating sealer and renew it periodically.

Pairings
