Carrara Misterio Velluto: A Subtle Carrara marble matte texture
Besides the standard Carrara polished finish, you can choose Carrara Misterio Velluto.
The Velluto finish provides the same gorgeous and natural look of Carrara marble but adds dimension to the surface by using a textured work surface that heightens its tactile feel. The texture is subtle but noticeable and adds lustre to the Carrara marble.
Velluto finish is a smooth, velvety surface achieved using ultra-fine sandpaper during polishing. This type of finish is popular for use in kitchens and bathrooms because it resists staining and fingerprints.
Quartz worktops from Unistone in Velluto finish are available in various colours, including Misterio, which features soft grey veining on a white background.
