Emperador Dark is a rich chocolate-brown marble with a web of lighter cream and gold veins.
Is Emperador Dark Marble right for your kitchen?
Marble is a natural stone loved for its soft veining and classic look. It is softer than granite and quartzite and can etch from acids like lemon, vinegar and wine, so it develops a patina over time. It is a great choice for bathrooms, bars, baking areas and homeowners who like that lived-in look.
Its dark color hides etching better than white marble, but it still needs sealing and gentle cleaners.
