There are three types of porcelain tile typically used: Carraba white, Rosa portagallo and Bottocino
These porcelain tiles are obtained by particular clays and high temperatures. The final results are tiles so beautiful as to rival natural marble tiles. Like quarry marble, they can be worked, honed and polished, because they are homogeneous throughout the thickness.
These artificial marbles have advantages over natural marbles such as no maintenance, easy installation, lower cost and same durability. They are available in many sizes and colors and in two finishes: mat, or satin surface and honed and polished, high glossy surface.

The forested Green Mts. constitute the dominant physiographic feature of Vermont. They consist of at least four distinct groups, all traversing the state in a generally north-south direction. Largest and most important are the Green Mts. proper, which extend down the center of the state from the Canadian border to the Massachusetts line, rising to Vermont's highest peak, Mt. Mansfield (4,393 ft/1,339 m). The Taconic Mts., occupying the southwestern portion of the state, contain Vermont's important marble deposits. East of the Green Mts. and extending from the Canadian border to somewhat below the middle of the state are the Granite Hills, so called because of their valuable stone. The fourth group, sometimes called the Red Sandrock Hills, extends along the Vermont shore of Lake Champlain. In E Vermont there are also isolated peaks or monadnocks not connected with the principal ranges.
