About Calacatta Vagli

Calacatta Vagli stands for the marble look that many clients have in mind when they think of luxurious white stone. The ground surface is pale to white, together with strong grey, beige or golden veins that run broader, cloudier or more clearly depending on the slab. It is precisely this tension between calm and figuring that makes the stone so sought after. It appears exclusive but not artificial, and depends strongly on the selection of the individual slab.

The stone comes from Vagli di Sotto in Tuscany and belongs to the well-known Calacatta types from the Carrara area. Compared with Bianco Carrara, Calacatta Vagli is markedly more dramatic and stronger in figuring; compared with some gold-dominated Calacatta grades, often somewhat more mineral and more classic. For kitchen islands, vanity tops, wall compositions and high-quality interiors it is a very strong material, provided the slab is deliberately selected and staged.

Finishes

Calacatta Vagli is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.

Poliert

Politur ist die klassischste Veredelung für Marmor und Kalkstein — eine glänzende Oberfläche mit höchstmöglicher Farbintensität und ausgeprägter Tiefenwirkung der Aderung. Je nach mineralischer Zusammensetzung kann die Wirkung stellenweise mattglänzend sein. Säureempfindlich — Wein, Zitrone und Essig hinterlassen Ätzspuren bei längerer Einwirkung.

Care & fabrication

Calacatta Vagli should be sealed carefully after installation. Even with low water absorption, the material remains, as a marble, acid-sensitive and more prone to staining than quartzite.

For cleaning and maintenance, use pH-neutral natural stone cleaners. Acidic cleaners, descalers and aggressive kitchen or bathroom chemicals are to be avoided.

Coffee, wine, lemon, oil and cosmetics should be removed promptly from horizontal surfaces. Pale marble surfaces in particular show marks of use quickly.

For external areas, restraint is sensible, particularly with a polished finish. The strongest side of Calacatta Vagli is clearly high-quality interior fit-out.
