REGIONAL DETAIL · ISPARTA · SULTAN BEIGE
Isparta is one of the beige marble production centers in Turkey's Mediterranean Lakes region. Known internationally as Sultan Beige, this light beige tone is a classic choice for residential, hotel and prestige office projects. Positioned as the Turkish alternative in the Italian Botticino / Spanish Crema Marfil family. Sipahi Marble runs direct producer relationships in the region.
REGION
Isparta province sits in Turkey's Mediterranean Lakes region, in the inner Taurus range. Regional geology hosts Mesozoic calcite-based marble beds suited to producing fine-veined, light and warm-toned beige marble. Isparta is one of the main production nodes for the marble known internationally as Sultan Beige.
Sultan Beige is the Turkish beige marble positioned in the same international market segment as Italian Botticino and Spanish Crema Marfil. Its international recognition means the product name is picked up directly in LEED submittals and prestige project spec packages — a real advantage in export orders. Warm light beige tone (near RAL 1014), medium veining and high color homogeneity meet the core spec of prestige projects.
Sipahi Marble sources from the Isparta region through direct producer relationships. Road distance to our Adapazarı Tekeler supply coordination center is approximately 600 kilometers. Long-standing relationships with regional producers allow flexibility in vein-class and dimensional selection; for export orders Mersin and Antalya ports serve as alternative departure points.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Isparta beige marble — known internationally as Sultan Beige — suits facade strip-slab applications under TS EN 1469. The warm light beige tone provides a classic aesthetic language for residential, hotel and prestige office facades; panels are fixed with stainless steel mechanical anchors. Its international brand recognition is a real advantage in export project specs.
Under TS EN 12058, Isparta beige marble is preferred for interior flooring for its soft tone and high homogeneity. Polished finish suits hotel lobbies, banking halls and prestige residential entries; honed finish is preferred for living areas and galleries. As Sultan Beige it moves through spec approvals quickly.
Beige tone matches natural wood, white and cream cabinetry — used in both modern and classic kitchens. In bathroom vanity, shower banquette and countertop applications, Sultan Beige creates a prestige perception. For countertop orders Sipahi can coordinate bookmatch selections.
Under TS EN 12058 (stairs) and TS EN 12057 (modular tiles), Isparta beige marble is a safe choice. Filet cut edge profiles (bullnose, ogee) are produced at partner workshops; non-slip finish (honed or brushed) meets staircase safety requirements.
