Arabescato Marble is a white marble defined by bold gray veining that sweeps across the surface in broad, interconnected forms. Expanses of bright white are fractured by intricate networks of charcoal and soft gray movement, creating a layered composition with both clarity and intensity. The contrast is strong yet refined, giving the stone a distinctly architectural presence.
In exterior applications, Arabescato Marble can be detailed for building façades, entry portals, and architectural cladding where a high-contrast white stone is desired. Indoors, it lends itself to statement walls, feature partitions, bar surrounds, and vertical surfaces within hospitality, corporate, and residential environments seeking a classic yet dynamic aesthetic.
Arabescato Marble is fabricated as a StonePly panel by adhering a thin layer of the stone to a rigid aluminum honeycomb backing. This panel construction substantially lowers the overall weight of the stone assembly while retaining the visual character associated with solid marble. The finished composite panels are produced for incorporation into architectural wall systems and vertically oriented stone cladding installations.

You are probably more familiar with marble than you realize. From Michelangelo's mighty carrara marble David, to the intricately carved cenotaphs of the Taj Mahal, to the royal Marble Arch of Buckingham Palace, marble has been the stuff of civilized architecture and art for centuries. Being a form of limestone, it is softer than granite, making it more susceptible to deterioration and wear but a simple, regular maintenance routine will keep marble looking beautiful.
Marble has a soft, sophisticated aura. Small interior spaces will especially benefit from marble's less "busy" feel when compared to granite thanks to its large, flowing veins.
Certain marbles can be “book matched,” meaning the edges of two panels are paired to create a mirror image. Book matching's effect is best expressed on large panels.
