About Ekeberg Bla
Ekeberg Bla is a fine white marble sourced from Sweden, known for its subtle veining and smooth grain that lends an elegant, understated look to any space. The stone’s light, almost translucent hue is complemented by delicate, fine lines that add depth without overpowering the design. Ideal for both interior and exterior applications, Ekeberg Bla excels in flooring, wall cladding, countertops, and decorative panels. It responds well to a range of finishes—from polished to honed, and even brushed—to suit modern or classic aesthetics. Marmi di Carrara supplies Ekeberg Bla in blocks, 2–3 cm slabs, and cut‑to‑size pieces, and provides high‑resolution photos of actual slabs before purchase to ensure complete confidence in your selection.

Finishes for Ekeberg Bla
Polished
Mirror-like gloss that brings out colour and veining at full depth. The classic choice for walls, tops and interior floors; slippery when wet.
Honed
Smooth and matt, with a soft satin look. Hides small scratches and etching better than a polish and is safer underfoot.
Brushed
Worked with abrasive brushes for a slightly undulating, silky surface that follows the grain of the stone. Warm to the touch and easy to live with.
Sandblasted
A fine, even roughness obtained with a jet of sand. Lightens the colour and gives grip: used for exteriors, steps and pool surrounds.
Bush-hammered
A rough, pitted surface made with a toothed hammer. Maximum slip resistance for exterior paving, ramps and steps.
Care and maintenance
- Clean with water and a neutral detergent made for natural stone; rinse and dry.
- Avoid acids and descalers (vinegar, lemon, anti-limescale sprays): they etch calcite and dull a polished surface.
- Seal with an impregnating protector after laying and repeat when water no longer beads, typically every 1–3 years on tops.
- Wipe wine, coffee, oil and citrus juice straight away, especially on kitchen and vanity tops.
- A dulled or scratched surface can be re-honed or re-polished on site: the stone is the same through its whole thickness.
