Pietra Grey Marble

Graphite and charcoal, moody and smoky – so many adjectives can be applied to Pietra Grey marble. In truth, it can’t be pinned down. As with all natural stone, it varies in appearance, ranging from soft grey to something inkier in tone, and is shot through with snowy white streaks. Not too pale, not too dark, this timeless grey marble is subtle, stylish and strikes a sophisticated note in any setting.

Despite its Italian name, Pietra Grey marble is actually quarried in Iran’s Isfahan province. This treasured, ancient stone has been used to build historical monuments down the centuries, but today its cool, calm elegance makes it a favourite in contemporary homes, on floor and wall tiles, kitchen surfaces and grey marble bathroom furniture. Pietra Grey marble is strong and durable, non-porous and resistant to knocks and chips, marking it out as a true legacy material. When you choose a Pietra Grey bath, washbasin or vanity unit from Riluxa, you’re investing in beautiful, sustainable bathroom furniture that will last a lifetime.

Finishes

Once you’ve settled on Carrara marble for your bathroom, we can offer a range of finishes.

A glossy highly reflective surface, resulting in a supremely refined surface. A polished marble is the least porous finish, giving your piece additional protection from staining. In the case of Pietra Grey marble, a polished finish is the most requested, due to its spectacular mirror-like effect.

A honed finish has a satin-like feel that is velvety and smooth to the touch. This finish brings out the full character of the stone, while softening its colour. As it is more porous, it requires more frequent sealing than a polished piece, but it is also more resistant to scratches and excellent at masking etches.

A common decorative technique used with Pietra Grey marble is that of book-matching. This is where a single block of marble is cut into two or more slabs, each being polished. We then place the slabs end to end, so that their veining creates a mirror image, continuing from one slab to the next in a continuous flow.

A common decorative technique used with Carrara white marble is that of book-matching. This is where a single block of marble is cut into two or more slabs, each being polished. We then place the slabs end to end, so that their veining creates a mirror image, continuing from one slab to the next in a continuous flow.

All varieties of onyx marble have translucent portions in each slab. By experimenting with the finish and the lighting source, it’s possible to achieve breathtaking backlit onyx effects.

Several other specialised textured finishes are available for many of our natural stone products.
