There are many reasons why white marble is extensively used in sculpture and construction. White marble like other colors of marble is relatively soft and easy to work with because of its refined and polished texture. It is well-suited for simulating human flesh because of its translucency. More than that, marble is a durable material. When marble ages, it becomes harder.




White marble is favored over colored marble because of its clarity and clean look. Kitchen spaces especially, use white marble because of the uncluttered and fresh atmosphere it brings. Other areas like living, reception and lobby areas use white marble because it can bring a sense of sophistication and elegance to these spaces, and in addition to that, it can easily work with other colors.
