Dark marble

Dark Marble is a spectacular black-colored marble with intricate patterns and veining designs over it in multi-colors such as golden, beige, brown or orange. Using this dark range of marbles simply means giving the whole space a look of absolute nobility and unstated luxury. Nothing can beat the stunning effect that arises from the use of dark marbles in any setting, whether it be residential or commercial space.

These marbles are primarily used for flooring, wall cladding, stairways, and kitchen and bathroom countertops. If you are looking for an interior design that spells class and sophistication, dark marbles are undoubtedly what you’re looking for. There are many varieties of dark marble, based upon their origin and design, such as Black Marquina, Rosso Levanto, Dark Emperador, and Armani brown marbles. These marbles are sourced from quarries located across the world, such as Spain, Italy, Turkey, and Brazil. Their use has grown immensely popular in many countries of the Middle East, such as the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Indian marble manufacturers import these marbles from their origin countries, processing them in India, and re-exporting them to other countries.

Historically, dark marble has been in use as a building material since the early sixteenth century. It was used for building tombstones, epitaph tablets, chapels and floor slabs. The reason it was used so popularly was because once polished, it became a mirror-like and glassy surface.

Even today, dark marbles are not used commonly. Their applications are more common in luxury projects such as in premier hotels and luxury homes. Due to their enigmatic and majestic visual appeal, they are more expensive than other types of marbles.
