Crema Marfil marble
Crema Marfil is a beige-to-ivory calcite marble quarried in Spain. It is chosen for its consistent warm tone and relatively uniform veining, which suits neutral bathroom schemes.
Character and behaviour
The surface ranges from pale cream to light honey, with subtle beige and gold veining. Polished slabs have a soft reflective quality without high contrast. Being calcite-based, it reacts to acids and will etch if exposed to cleaning products or citrus.
Best for
- Bathroom wall cladding
- Vanity surrounds
- Floor tiles in low-traffic areas
- Shower niches and shelving
Avoid for
- Kitchen countertops near acidic foods
- High-traffic floor areas without sealing
Care and maintenance
Seal on installation and reseal annually. Clean with pH-neutral products only. Acidic cleaners, vinegar, and limescale removers will etch the surface permanently.
