Tepexi Fiorito: complete guide

History and origin

The name recalls Tepexi, an area in the state of Puebla known for quarrying beige marbles and limestones. Materials from this area are found mainly on the American market and are also exported to Europe. Shade and pattern depend on the quarry bed. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is beige or cream, enlivened by patches, clouds and small lighter or darker veins that create the flowery effect. Variation between slabs is marked and must be taken into account during installation. Polished, it appears more contrasted; honed or brushed, it becomes more uniform and rustic.

Technical properties (indicative)

Recommended uses

Ideal for interior floors, cladding, bathrooms and stairs. It is not recommended for heavily used kitchen worktops or for exteriors in areas with frost. It also lends itself well to mosaics and small formats that show off the pattern.

Care and maintenance

Clean with neutral products, avoiding acids and aggressive degreasers. Apply an impregnator to reduce absorption, especially in the bathroom. Always wipe up coloured liquids.
