This stone would be fine for use as a dining room table top. For all surfaces make sure to clean the surfaces regularly and seal them as needed.
I am looking to make a dining room table and love the look of this marble, would it be appropriate for the top of a dining room table?
I am looking for the equal of Tempesta Vene which is a cloudy white and gray blue marble with sparkles in it. The Tile Shop used to carry this but seems to have run out. Could you advise me please? Thanks,Pam
Hi, The stone that I can recommend you with a marble look is Classic White Lunar quartzite. This stone is stronger than regular marble, but not as durable as a true granite. Kind of in middle in terms of technical specifications, if that makes sense. I recommend to reseal this stone with a strong sealer every six months to make sure it stays stain resistant. Good luck !
We had success with Classic White installations kitchen but such a light stone are softer then darker, that's why you got some scratches on it and more take care about the stone. First of all it should be sealed after the installation (what we always do) and
then every six to eight months. One of the strongest stone protectors on the market that I
recommend is the DuPont StoneTech Bulletproof Sealer: http://www.mrstone.com/granite.... I also strongly recommend to purchase and use the AGM Natural Granite Cleaner for the countertop cleaning & maintenance purposes: http://www.mrstone.com/granite... I hope I could help !
I got two samples of the "Classic White" from your showroom and used it to cut some veggies on. Both samples got scratched. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Thanks!
Is this a granite or a quartzite? I am trying to decide between White Macuba (Luce de Lune) and "Classic White" -- it seems classic white is softer? Is this true? I am using it for the kitchen and need something fairly strong with a marble look. Let me know. Thanks!
Hi Eddie, we don't export our stones, we are a stone fabricator.
I am looking to export accontener of marble this color giv me aprises
You can still use the Classic White against white cabinets -- this creates an elegant, clean, and crisp "white" kitchen design which is quite popular right now. Another plus is that the Classic White is stronger than regular marble, we have had success with kitchen installations for this stone!
Wow, I love this marble color ! But looking at the photos of this kitchen, they really should have gone with gray or darker cabinets other than WHITE , it would have brought out the marble !
Hi ... I am in the middle of specifying a residential cook's kitchen, and want to use white stone countertops/backsplashs ... love the look, but am hesitant to use a Statuarietto or Carrara marble, due to it's porous/soft nature, and it's tendancy to etch, however cannot find a (durable) granite white enough ...
Have zero'd in on Quartzite as a compromise/solution but am a bit confused ... you list the above "Classic White" as "Marble" ... yet it has all the same "Other names" - Luce Di Luna, Branco Classico - and Bianca QUARTZITE your "Classic White Lunar" QUARTZITE, which is found in your Quartzite section, and labeld as Quartzite ...
Is this Classic White #1623 Quartzite ... or is it Marble? ... and how does it differ from the Classic White Lunar" Quartzite # 1546 in composition?
I am all set to place my order, but stopped in confusion of terms ... please help ...
Thanks,
Chris
Hi Joanne. Marble is an appropriate material for a fireplace hearth. Marble is a beautiful and elegant stone, full of veins and character and capable of taking a high polish. Marble has been used for centuries as a building material and as a decorative, sculpting material. Marble fireplace surrounds whether made from one, solid piece of stone, or made up of marble tiles, can enhance any home's decor. Hope this helps!
I am redoing my fireplace and am thinking about marble for the hearth.
Hello. Well, the Classic White featured on this page would be an elegant contrast against a dark espresso wood cabinet. Some other colors to offset your cabinet shade nicely could be Sunset Ivory, Astoria, Colonial Cream, and Netuno Bordeaux. Hope this helps!
i have exspesso cab. what do u recamend
Hello. I am aware of the stone you
are referring to called Luce di Luna and we do not stock it at this time,
however in the future, who knows? We receive new colors every week and you can
check out new deliveries on this part of our website: www.MARBLE.com/blog The
stone that you received at our location is probably the Classic White featured
on this page. We have had a level of success installing this color in kitchen
countertops without any major issues that I would be aware of. The sealer makes
ALL the difference and an unsealed, untreated light stone such as the Classic
White WILL stain when a staining agent is applied to the surface. I recommend
to acquire another sample, seal it, and then try to stain it again. In this
case the stone should pretty much not stain at all unless you leave the
staining agent on the surface for a long period of all time (you should wipe up
spills for all natural stone immediately, never leave spills overnight). The
sealer will "impregnate" the surface of the stone and create a
protective shield to make the stone stain resistant. To learn how to properly
seal natural stone countertops you can watch this video: http://www.marble.com/video/gr... and I recommend to purchase and use the following
sealer for Classic White: http://www.mrstone.com/stone-c... In regard to the etching / scratching, this cannot be
avoided with a stone such as this except for being careful and perhaps having
the surface "honed" during fabrication for a non-polished, matte
finish. This surface finish will minimize the visibility of any etch marks on
the counters. If you want us to send you a sample, please go to your carrier's website
such as fedex.com or ups.com and create prepaid shipping label directed to your
address from our company. Package 10x10x3 inch, weight 5lbs. Send the label to sales@marble.com with sample request along with a note to SEAL the sample for you. Let me know how everything turns out. Hope this helps!
Hi I visited the Ridgefield showroom on Thursday and viewed the four lots of white quartzite. I originally came in looking for luce di luna and your salesman told me what you carried was the same. He did not give me any names but they did not have the horizontal veining of typical luce di luna. Do you plan on getting this stone at any point in the future? In any event, I did like 2 of the lots of other white quartzite I saw today but was not happy with porosity and absorption issues when I came home. Both samples stained within minutes unfortunately and also scratched easily. I cannot believe these would be recommended for kitchen use? Does the sealer make that much of a difference? If so, would you be able to send me a sealed sample that I can test as I drove in from Long Island (in Suffolk County), Thanks
Yes, it most certainly is. Make sure to seal the stone with a non-toxic, food-safe sealer.
Hi
which marble stone is suitable for rolling dough in a commercial kitchen?
I plan to buy a 60"X24" slab to put on a table for rolling pizza dough
Hello. We have Classic White in-stock at both of our NJ locations but this material is popular and is sold quite fast therefore the inventory level is always changing.
Do you currently have Classic White in stock at South Plainfield or Ridgefield Park? I previously had sample 115R from the lot.
Unfortunately you're outside of our area of service. You can fill out an estimate request here: www.marble.com/estimate and an affiliated fabricator in your area may contact you. Good luck!
The Classic White is standard thickness 1 1/4".
Do you have a store in the Los Angeles area?
How thick is this marble?
The Classic White has a bright white background with light grey linear veins running through the entire stone. The Classic White Lunar has gray undertones and occasional deep gray veins throughout the stone as well. In general, the Lunar is darker than the Classic White.
Is there a difference between Classic White and Classic White Lunar?
The sample you have is called Classic White Lunar. Our stone called Moon Night is also known as Super White. Good luck!
I got a sample from S. Plainfield a few days ago - it was numbered 3801. Is that the same as Super White, or do I have a different sample?
You can always test a sample of the stone. Spill wine, orange juice, tomato sauce and so on to see and understand how the stone will react with different spills and how long it will take for it to stain or etch. Good luck!
We cannot guarantee that the stone will not etch, because it's a natural stone. I recommend to have the surface honed to minimize the risk of etching and to acquire a sample to see how it looks.
By etching I mean reacting instantly with acids like wine. I haven't found them to be staining or scratching at all.
Do you have any Classic White Quartzite slabs that you know for sure are not etching? If it exists, I would love to find it.
John
