Carrara Polished Marble Slab 44572 is a 20mm natural marble slab measuring 280 × 180cm, with a polished surface that brings greater clarity to its soft white background and characteristic grey veining. Its restrained movement makes it particularly versatile for kitchen islands and worktops, bathroom vanity tops, splashbacks, fireplace surrounds, feature panels and bespoke stone furniture.
Carrara Polished Marble Slab 44572 is a full-scale natural marble surface selected for interiors where a light stone palette and understated grey movement are more important than highly dramatic veining. Each slab measures 280 × 180cm, is 20mm thick and provides approximately 5.04m² of material. The polished finish gives greater definition to Carrara’s soft white background and fine, feathery grey veining while retaining the individual variation of natural stone.
What does Carrara Polished Marble help you achieve?
The main benefit is a continuous natural-stone surface that feels calm, versatile and easy to integrate into a wider interior.
Carrara has enough movement to remain recognisably marble, but its veining is generally more restrained than highly expressive Calacatta or strongly coloured stones. That makes it particularly useful when the worktop, vanity or fireplace needs material character without becoming the only visual focus in the room.
Carrara can help you:
• create a light natural-marble kitchen worktop or island
• fabricate a coordinated vanity top and splashback
• introduce subtle grey movement to a fireplace surround
• create bespoke table tops or furniture surfaces
• form larger wall or feature panels with fewer visual interruptions
• connect pale stone surfaces with white ceramics, warm wood or darker detailing
A full slab also allows larger sections of the natural pattern to remain visible instead of dividing the marble into repeated tile units.
Where does this marble slab work best?
Starel positions marble slabs for kitchen islands, vanity tops, splashbacks, fireplace surrounds, feature walls, table tops and bespoke stone furniture. Carrara Slab 44572 can also be fabricated into worktops and other custom interior stone pieces through Starel’s bespoke service.
Kitchen islands and worktops are particularly suitable where the customer wants a light stone surface with visible but relatively quiet natural movement.
In bathrooms, Carrara works well for vanity tops and splashbacks because the grey-white palette combines easily with white sanitaryware, oak or walnut furniture and a wide range of metal finishes.
A fireplace or feature panel can use the same stone vertically, allowing the polished surface and fine veining to become more apparent at eye level.
Final suitability depends on measurements, cut-outs, joint locations, support, edge details, access and the specific fabrication requirements of the project.
Why choose this exact Carrara slab?
The strongest reason is its balance between natural variation and visual restraint.
Starel describes Carrara as having subtle, feathery grey veining across a soft white background. This gives the stone enough movement to avoid looking flat while remaining easier to combine with other finishes than a heavily patterned statement marble.
The polished surface brings additional clarity to the marble and reflects more light than a honed finish, making it particularly suitable where a brighter, more defined stone surface is preferred.
This slab also measures a substantial 280 × 180cm. That gives the fabricator meaningful scope to plan component placement around the actual stone movement.
Natural marble should always be selected at full scale where possible. Starel does not offer cut samples for this slab and recommends viewing the actual material, or reviewing full-slab photography or video, because a small sample cannot represent the complete pattern of an individual slab.
Which Starel Stones products complement it?
The strongest companion is the Carrara Marble Tile Collection. Starel currently offers Carrara in several honed formats, including 150 × 75mm, 200 × 200mm, 305 × 75mm, 406 × 406mm, 610 × 305mm and 610 × 610mm. These tiles can carry the same broader grey-white material direction onto adjoining bathroom, kitchen, wall or floor surfaces.
For smaller-scale detail, Carrara Marble Square Mosaic Tiles use 23 × 23mm honed pieces and can work around vanity areas, niches or other feature surfaces where a change in scale is useful.
Starel’s wider Carrara range also includes Diamond, Kite and Long Herringbone mosaics, allowing a more decorative surface to sit alongside the quieter polished slab without changing material family.
For larger adjoining surfaces, Carrara XL Slab Tiles can help maintain a pale marble palette with fewer joints, while White Carrara Honed Skirting provides a coordinated finishing detail at floor level.
These materials should be treated as coordinating Carrara products rather than guaranteed exact matches, because natural stone varies between slabs, tiles and batches.
Slab selection, fabrication and care
Fabrication should be planned around the selected slab. Starel can review dimensions, drawings, cut-outs, edge details, visible faces and delivery requirements as part of its fabrication process.
Carrara marble should be sealed appropriately for its application and maintained with pH-neutral, stone-safe products. Acidic or abrasive cleaners should be avoided.
Carrara Polished Marble Slab 44572 is ultimately a strong choice for customers who want classic natural marble with a quieter visual language: a substantial polished white-and-grey slab that can move comfortably between worktops, islands, vanity areas, fireplaces and bespoke stone details.
Trade pricing available for large quantity orders such as full bundles, complete batches or quantities exceeding half a container.
Note: Cut samples for this product are unavailable.

What are marble slabs best used for?
Marble slabs are best suited to projects where natural movement, veining and material character are central to the design. They are commonly used for kitchen islands, bathroom vanity tops, splashbacks, fireplace surrounds, feature walls, table tops and bespoke stone furniture. Compared with standard tiles, a marble slab gives a more continuous, architectural finish because larger sections of stone can be cut from one piece. Each slab is unique, so customers should select the exact slab where possible, especially when veining, bookmatching or colour tone is important. Marble is widely used for countertops, floors, walls, hearths and windowsills.
How do I choose the right marble slab for my project?
Start with the use of the stone, then choose the look. For a kitchen island or vanity top, your fabricator will need to understand the slab size, thickness, cut-outs, edge detail and any joins. For a feature wall, splashback or furniture piece, the movement and direction of the veining may matter more than surface wear. White Calacatta-style slabs create a brighter, refined look; darker marbles such as Nero or Picasso-style slabs create a stronger statement; beige, pink and warm-toned marbles soften a room. We recommend viewing marble slabs in person where possible, as photographs cannot fully show depth, surface finish or natural variation.
Can marble slabs be used for kitchen worktops and islands?
Yes, marble slabs can be used for kitchen worktops and islands, but they should be chosen with a clear understanding of how marble behaves. Marble is a natural calcareous stone, so it can mark, etch or stain if it is not sealed, cleaned and maintained correctly. For design-led kitchens, many customers choose marble because of its veining and timeless appearance, accepting that it will develop character over time. For high-use kitchens where low maintenance is the priority, quartz may be a more practical alternative. Marble surfaces should be sealed where appropriate and cleaned with suitable stone-safe products.
Do marble slabs need sealing?
In most interior applications, marble slabs should be sealed with a suitable natural stone sealer after fabrication and installation. Sealing helps improve resistance to everyday spills, oils and dirt, but it does not make marble stain-proof. The correct sealer depends on the stone, finish, location and use. Polished marble, honed marble and textured marble may absorb and wear differently, so your fabricator or installer should confirm the right sealing process. For kitchens, bathrooms and vanity areas, customers should also use coasters, trays and pH-neutral cleaners to protect the stone in daily use.
Can Starel deliver marble slabs to my fabricator?
Yes, marble slabs can usually be delivered to your chosen fabricator, installer or project site, provided the receiving address is suitable for heavy stone delivery. This is common for customers who select a slab from Starel and then ask their own fabricator to cut, finish and install it. Before dispatch, provide the fabricator’s full address, contact name, phone number, delivery access notes and unloading requirements. Marble slabs are heavy and fragile, so the receiving team must be prepared with the right handling equipment. For best results, confirm slab dimensions, bundle number and project requirements with your fabricator before ordering.
Are cut samples available for marble slabs?
For many slab listings, cut samples are not available. This is because slabs are sold as individual pieces or bundles, and cutting into a slab can reduce its usable area, commercial value and suitability for fabrication. Instead, customers should view the slab in person where possible, request additional photos or videos, or ask the team to show the slab in natural and showroom lighting. With marble, this is especially important because veining, tone, mineral markings and surface movement can vary significantly across a single slab. A tile sample from the same stone family should only be treated as a guide, not an exact match.
Is marble suitable for trade and larger project orders?
Yes, marble slabs are highly suitable for trade, design and development projects where multiple surfaces, matched pieces or full-bundle supply may be required. The product export repeatedly notes trade pricing for larger quantity orders, including full bundles, complete batches and quantities exceeding half a container. This is useful for interior designers, architects, developers, fabricators and contractors who need batch consistency and project planning support. For larger orders, speak to Starel early so the team can confirm slab availability, bundle numbers, lead times, delivery options and whether the selected material can be held, reserved or supplied as part of a wider stone package.
UK slab delivery
Starel Stones can arrange UK slab delivery for marble, quartz, travertine and onyx slabs, including delivery to your home, project site, fabricator or installer of choice.
Slabs are specialist products. They are large, heavy and often selected for a specific face, vein movement, colour tone or fabrication requirement. For this reason, slab delivery is handled separately from standard tile and sample orders.
Before dispatch, our team will confirm the delivery address, site access, receiving contact and unloading requirements. Slabs may require specialist vehicles, A-frame transport or suitable unloading equipment depending on the material, slab size, quantity and destination. If your order is being delivered directly to a fabricator, installer or contractor, please provide their full delivery details before the order is released.
We strongly recommend that the receiving party is prepared for the delivery before the slab arrives. The site should have suitable access, enough space for safe unloading and an experienced person available to inspect and receive the material. Slabs should not be booked for fabrication or installation until they have been received, checked and approved.
For customers purchasing slabs for worktops, vanity tops, splashbacks, bath surrounds, feature walls or bespoke stonework, delivery can be coordinated around your project timeline where possible. Lead times may vary depending on stock availability, fabrication requirements, delivery location and the number of slabs being supplied.
If you are unsure whether your property, site or fabricator can receive slab delivery, speak to our team before placing your order.
International slab delivery
Starel Stones can support international slab delivery for selected slab orders, subject to destination, order size, product availability and transport requirements.
International slab orders require careful planning. Natural stone slabs must be packed, handled and transported correctly to protect the material during long-distance freight. Depending on the destination and project scope, slabs may be supplied to private clients, interior designers, developers, contractors, fabricators or commercial project teams.
Before confirming an international slab order, our team will review the material, slab dimensions, quantity, destination country, delivery address, freight requirements and receiving arrangements. Where the slabs are being sent to a local fabricator or installation partner, we will need their full business details, contact information and unloading requirements.
International customers should allow for additional lead time, freight coordination, customs clearance and any duties, taxes or local charges that may apply in the destination country. These costs and responsibilities should be confirmed before the order is finalised.
For larger international projects, full-bundle or multi-slab supply may be available. This can be especially useful for designers, developers and trade professionals who need consistency across bathrooms, kitchens, hospitality spaces, feature walls or wider stone packages.
Fabrication
Starel Stones offers in-house fabrication options for customers who want a more complete stone service beyond slab supply. Our fabrication service is designed for projects that require precision cutting, finishing and made-to-measure stonework. This can include vanity tops, splashbacks, kitchen worktops, island tops, bath surrounds, shower walls, feature panels, table tops, shelves, niches, steps, risers and other bespoke stone details.
Working with our fabrication team allows you to move from material selection to finished stone element with greater clarity. Once the slab or material has been selected, we can review the intended use, dimensions, drawings, cut-outs, edge details, finish, access requirements and delivery destination. From there, we can prepare a quotation based on the material, fabrication complexity and project scope.
Fabrication is especially valuable when the stone needs to work across several parts of a room. A marble vanity top can be paired with a matching splashback. A slab selected for a kitchen island can be planned around vein direction, visible faces and edge treatment. A bathroom scheme can be developed with coordinated stone surfaces, from wall panels and bath surrounds to shelves and niche details. Each material is assessed according to its use. Marble offers natural veining and timeless movement, but requires careful sealing and maintenance. Quartz is a practical choice for high-use worktops and commercial surfaces. Travertine brings warmth, texture and architectural softness. Onyx is best treated as a feature material, often used for decorative panels, powder rooms, bars and backlit stone applications.
All fabrication work is quote-based. Final pricing depends on the selected slab, required cuts, measurements, edge profiles, cut-outs, polishing, finishing, handling and delivery. Production should only begin once the specification has been confirmed, the quote has been approved and any required payment terms have been met.
For accurate pricing, please provide drawings, measurements, site photographs, product references and any design requirements when submitting your enquiry. Where needed, our team can advise on the most suitable material, finish and fabrication route for your project.
If you already have a fabricator, Starel can supply slabs directly to them. If you would like Starel to handle fabrication, our team can guide you through the next steps and prepare a tailored quote.
