Bianco Sardo is a high‑quality white sandstone quarried in Italy, renowned for its uniform, bright appearance and subtle, fine‑grained texture. The stone displays a clean, luminous surface with occasional soft veining that adds depth without compromising its sleek look. Ideal for both interior and exterior applications, Bianco Sardo works beautifully in flooring, wall cladding, countertops, and architectural detailing, especially when finished in polished, honed or brushed treatments. Marmi di Carrara supplies Bianco Sardo in robust blocks and ready‑to‑install slabs of 2–3 cm thickness, offering cut‑to‑size services and real‑time photos of actual slabs before purchase.

Bianco Sardo granite: the complete guide
Overview
Bianco Sardo is a light grey granite from Sardinia with dark specks. Extremely durable, it is perfect for exteriors, paving and worktops.
History and origin
Sardinia, and Gallura in particular, is one of the main granite districts in Europe. Bianco Sardo has been used for squares, pavements, stairs, façades and street furniture in Italy and abroad. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Appearance
A light grey-whitish background with black and grey grains evenly distributed. Flamed or bush-hammered it becomes lighter and rougher; polished it shows the crystals better.
Uses
Outdoor paving, squares, stairs, thresholds, façades, kitchen tops and street furniture. It resists frost, wear and weathering.
Care and maintenance
Neutral detergents for routine cleaning. Granite has low porosity and resists household acids; a stain-proof treatment on kitchen tops prevents oil marks. Outdoors periodic cleaning is enough.
