Perla Bianca
Perla Bianca Limestone
Perla Bianca is a distinctive and high-quality limestone selection that is renowned for its white base colour and homogenous appearance. It is quarried from our quarry in Demre, Antalya, and is recognized as one of Naturelmar's signature stones.
It is an adaptable stone suitable for various applications, including indoor walls, facade coverings, outdoor flooring, pool copings, and carvings. Its non-slip and heat-resistant qualities make it an ideal choice for many projects. In addition, its easily carvable material allows for elegant and intricate architectural projects.
Like Myra, Perla Bianca is exclusive to the Antalya region, ensuring that it maintains its unique and consistent shade and tone. Additionally, Perla Bianca has been used in numerous projects with well-known architects, including Frank Gehry and Álvaro Siza, who have used our diverse range of limestone selections to create stunning and innovative buildings.

Maintenance
For maintenance, please apply a deep penetrating limestone sealer after stone application to ensure the limestone remains stain-free. Particularly for outdoor or indoor flooring use, please apply the sealer as soon as the stone is applied on the floor. To keep the stone as clean as possible, re-apply the sealer in intervals as you see fit. The time between re-application of the sealer will change with the amount of contact with stains or weather (yearly to once every couple years).
Cleaning
For cleaning the material, please use the below technique:
-Use a bleach-water mixture. We recommend around ½ cup of bleach per 1 gallon of water (50-60ml of bleach per 1 L of water).
-Put the solution in a spray bottle and apply to the stained area.
-Use a microfiber cloth and clean the material.
-Wait for 5 mins, rinse with water, then air dry.
