Other important considerations about ivory cream marble.

While there is a lot of information on the web that tells us about the benefits and characteristics of the ivory cream marble and that you probably know, I want to refer now to the criteria for selecting a natural stone, also exposed to the arabescato-Corchia-Vagli page.

 

Let's analyze together, marble ivory cream, according to these general criteria for the correct selection of natural stone:

* Durability of ivory cream marble (crema marfil)

​

From this point of view, ivory cream marble has very good properties of mechanical resistance to compression, bending, absorption, etc. and the best proof of the nobility and suitability of this natural stone, for designers and architects, is a large number of projects, millions and millions of square feet of floor and wall surfaces covered with ivory cream marble throughout the world, this is the best practical test, which we have to ensure that marble ivory cream from the point of view of its durability, is a suitable marble for most projects of coatings of floors, walls, stairs, columns, etc.

 

Even so, it will be necessary to examine with attention the particular characteristics of each project and the average values ​​of the resistance parameters obtained in the laboratory tests of the ivory cream marble and that I leave here below.

* Finishing of the surface of ivory cream marble.

​

From this point of view, the surface of the ivory cream marble can be finished, especially for indoor environments in polished, matt shine, or honed.

 

For exteriors the most usual terminations are: honed, sandblasted, bush-hammered.

It is very beautiful also the rustic type finishing that can be given to the ivory cream, using brushes of steel and you can also combine the sandblasted and brushed finish.

 

In this way, the brush that passes over the sandblasted surface of the ivory cream marble eliminates eventual bumps and softens the surface of the coating to the touch, this finish is also called "leather" by its analogy with the natural surface of the leather.

* Dimension of the elements of ivory cream marble.

​

The minimum and maximum dimensions of an element of a floor or a lining depend mainly on the following factors:

* Geometry of the element that forms the floor or coating in natural stone.

* Petrographic characteristics of natural stone.

* Chemical, physical and mechanical characteristics of natural stone.

* Average dimensions of the available slabs from which to collect the floor and/or coating in natural stone.

* Manipulation of the elements and technique of posing or placement that is intended to be used.

With the current processing technologies,  it is possible to make floor and wall elements of many dimensions and shapes, as long as they are compatible with the dimensions of the slabs available in commerce.

One could conclude by saying that the attention to the dimensions of the elements that can be made with natural stone, at the moment of choosing it, finds its justification in large part in the need to simplify the production and the placement containing the costs.

​

Taking into account these technical considerations, in the title above, why is it convenient for you to buy our ivory cream marble?. We clearly explain that we can supply a wide variety of formats, even quite large. 

* Background color of ivory cream marble.

 

The background color of natural stone is the predominant color of the material, which determines the chromatic characteristic.

 

The rocks in terms of coloration can be subdivided into monochromatic and polychromatic.

They are monochromatic rocks. The rocks with uniform dyeing as for example the White Thassos or the Black Zimbawe.

 

Also, the rocks characterized by a color resulting from the combination of so many colors chromatically close, that at a certain distance seem uniform color. And finally those rocks with a predominant color over the others.

​

The background color of the ivory cream marble is obviously the cream. Of course, the color of the marble will also depend on the quarry and each extracted block.

 

We can say that there is a beige tone, instead of the traditional cream, which has a lower aesthetic value, although this is subjective and could be a color that a designer seeks for a particular project. In general, the client looking for an ivory cream wants it more cream than beige.

We basically handle two tones: a medium tone, and a lighter bone tone.

In all cases when the material is well selected, there will be a single predominant color and this will be a medium tone cream or a light cream.

* Design that you want to achieve.

 

With respect to the design that can be achieved with the ivory cream marble, we can say that one of the factors that predominate for the choice of this marble to coat floors and walls, is that it is a neutral color.

It does not have very marked veins that can condition the design of marble coatings.

In general, the ivory cream marble is very appreciated to cover large surfaces and within these surfaces, partial designs can be made with other natural stones.

The cream color of this marble allows us to combine it practically with all the marbles that are wanted.
For example, it combines very well with the Spanish marbles dark brown and red Alicante, also with the black Marquina.

In short, the ivory cream marble is a "classic" that never goes out of style.

Making a comparison with the fashionable dresses, let's say that the ivory cream marble, is a "Classic" that always or almost always very well and is combined with other materials, stone, wood, glass, etc. fabrics, and other elements of decoration, in a natural way, without effort, thus facilitating the realization of a total project.

* Availability of ivory cream marble in the market and cost.

​

The availability of ivory cream marble on the market is still great. Of course, in a much lower percentage, an extra quality ivory cream is extracted, that is, completely clean.

From there the great importance of the selection of the material that is made during the cutting process.

It is practically impossible to realize projects of medium and large dimension from blocks and slabs of extra quality ivory cream, but if it is possible to make it from commercial material of high quality and first quality, making a selection of the pieces cut as we do and as we explained in the title above.

Technical Data of Ivory Cream Marble

​

Cream-colored marble, with slightly darker streaks, randomly distributed. Quarry extraction fronts are large, from which large blocks are obtained. Given its nature, it is recommended to use mainly on facades and cladding, without ruling out its use in pavements. It accepts all the finishes, and taking into account the application to which it is destined, it is possible to choose the most suitable one; In any case, its use must conform to the international standards established for the use of these materials under construction.
