Getting Carrara is easy. Getting Good Carrara is not.

The Builder Depot is always asked about our inventory contractors and major home builders wish to buy large quantities but we have had some inventory issues.  Actually the inventory issue is not so much to do with getting a ‘Carrara product’, getting Carrara is relatively easy getting good Carrara is not.  There are many quarries and factories that can ship what they consider Carrara.  In fact we could order 240 pallets today but it would be ‘Gray Carrara’, ‘Chinese white’ or ‘Turkish Carrara’, there is so much Turkish Carrara on the market today.

Turkish Carrara is a terrible looking product, a quartz appearance in the stone along with gray smudges that the wholesales contests is veining.  Turkish Carrara is not Carrara it is not from Carrara Italy in many countries ...
