Description
Bardiglio marble is a prestigious Italian grey marble renowned for its timeless elegance, durability, and ease of processing. Thanks to these qualities, it is considered one of the most celebrated natural stone materials in the world. Often regarded as the grey marble by excellence, Bardiglio features a fine-grained structure and has been widely used in architecture since Roman times, particularly for flooring and wall cladding. Bardiglio Nouvalato is a variation of this stone.
The name Bardiglio comes from the Spanish word “pardillo,” meaning greyish. This marble is quarried primarily in the historic extraction areas of the Apuan Alps in the province of Carrara. Depending on the quarry of origin and the specific block, Bardiglio marble can display a variety of grey tones, influenced by its mineral composition and the presence of natural impurities and microcrystals.
Applications
This natural stone is suitable for internal and external use: floor, wall, vanity tops and stair covering in both private housing and in public buildings with moderate and intensive collective use. The stone material and the stone finish should be selected to suit the area it is being applied to.

Sealing
When the finished surface is completely dry, the areas can be protected with a suitable sealer. Stain Proof Impregnating Sealer will give an invisible, breathable, long term protection from water and oil based stains.
Maintenance
For flooring it is advisable to use a dry micro fiber mop where possible, this will reduce the risk of scratching. Regular professional cleaning is advised. When wet washing always use an acid-free product! Allow the floor to dry thoroughly during the first 3 to 6 months. During this period it is important to use only a small amount of water to mop the floor and allow the surplus moisture to evaporate from the tiles; also use a product that does not seal the pores of the stone (e.g. Lithofin MN Easy Care Cleaner). This product is always added to the wash water and can be used for future regular cleaning. Worktops should be cleaned with a neutral PH cleaner, and dried with a soft cotton cloth.
