Natural stone, when used as a flooring or wall material, conveys an atmosphere of exclusivity and sensual naturalness. That is why the owners of a Düsseldorf property chose grey-veined Carrara marble when refurbishing their bathroom. The bathroom is now adorned with this and the black Nero Marquina marble, which has white veins running through it. First, careful and proper preparations were needed before the full splendour of the rare stone could really be brought out in the new luxury bathroom. Once the old bathroom had been stripped back, the screed first had to be worked on and finished in the area where the bathtub and shower tray were previously installed. .
