About the stone
Getting to know Ekeberg Light
The lightest grade of Ekeberg marble, a dolomitic marble quarried at Glanshammar north-east of Örebro. Dolomite makes it harder and more acid-resistant than ordinary calcite marble, and its white is warmer than Carrara.
Where to use it
Ekeberg Light is mainly specified for interior flooring, window sills, worktops and tables and interiors. Limestone and marble are more sensitive to acids than granite; an impregnating sealer and pH-neutral cleaning keep the surface at its best.
Finishes
- brushed: softly textured and pleasant underfoot
- honed: smooth and matt, shows the pattern, for interior floors
- polished: deepens the colour, for interiors and facade details
Origin and geology
Närke holds two of Sweden's best-known marbles: the light dolomitic marble of Ekeberg near Glanshammar and the green marble of Brännlyckan.
Sweden's marbles are dolomitic and serpentine marbles, supplied for floors, vanities, worktops and sills indoors.
