Getting Carrara is easy. Getting Good Carrara is not.

July 15th will see the arrival of more Carrara Bianco 2″ Hexagon Honed along with more Carrara Bianco Honed products, 3×6″ Honed Subway Tile, Herringbone 1×2″ mosaic, Basketweave Honed Mosaic,  Chair rail, skirting and pencil.

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 ...

This customer placed an order two complete bathrooms – above is the first (the second has basketweave flooring, with 3×6″ on the walls and Hexagon border) for approximately $5,000.  The customer commented below:

“Hi Guys.  I know I’m delayed in getting these to you, but here are pictures of our master bath using your tile (herringbone mosaic, 3×6, 6×12, crown).  Please let me know if the pictures don’t come through.  It is stunning!  I couldn’t be happier.  The only tile that’s not yours is the border tile, which is from Ann Sacks.  As you can see, the Ann Sacks tile is a bit darker — I like your tile better!  I’ll send you pictures of the hall bath in another email.”
 

The products used to complete this bathroom are:

  • Carrara Venato 3×6″ ($7SF)
