Dolomite

Embrace the Rise of Dolomite in Grey and White Trends

As the demand for grey and white aesthetics continues to soar, Dolomites have become increasingly popular. Often mistaken for marble that resembles granite, Dolomites possess a unique charm. Contrary to the misconception, Dolomites are harder than typical marble but softer than granite, making them susceptible to scratches.

While Dolomites exhibit better resistance to acids and etching compared to marble or calcite, they are not entirely immune. Dolomites make for stunning countertops suitable for various applications, including kitchens and bathrooms.

Global Sedimentary Elegance with a Mineral Twist

A sedimentary rock primarily composed of the mineral dolomite, Dolomite is found in sedimentary basins globally. Like many natural stones, Dolomite is porous and requires sealing to prevent staining. Despite its improved performance over true marble, it's essential to be aware that Dolomites can still incur scratches and etching. Explore your options wisely to make an informed decision for your project.
