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 most northerly of the Southern states, Virginia is roughly triangular in shape. The small section of the state that, along with Maryland and Delaware, occupies the Delmarva peninsula between Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean is separated from the main part of Virginia and is called the Eastern Shore. The coastal plain or tidewater region of E Virginia, generally flat and partly swampy, is cut by four great tidal rivers—the Potomac (forming most of the border with Maryland and beyond which also lies Washington, D.C.), the Rappahannock, the York, and the James—all of which empty into Chesapeake Bay. In the tidewater region stretch vast forests of pine and hardwood, highlighted in early spring by flowering redbud and dogwood.
