Maintenance

Being a calcareous marble, Rosa Del Lago requires:

• Regular cleaning with pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners.
• Sealing with penetrating sealers to protect against staining.
• Avoidance of acidic substances (vinegar, lemon juice) to prevent etching.

Available Cutting Sizes

Slab Sizes: Typically 2 cm and 3 cm thicknesses in polished or honed finishes.

Tile Sizes: Standard cuts include 30×30 cm (12"×12"), 60×60 cm (24"×24"), 30×60 cm (12"×24"), and custom dimensions upon request.

Slab Dimensions: Full slabs can be up to 300×180 cm (118"×71") depending on block quality and quarry yield.

Surface Finish Options

• Polished – High-gloss surface that enhances the marble’s color and veining.
• Honed – Smooth, matte finish with a subtle, modern look.
• Brushed / Leathered – Textured finish that adds tactile interest.
• Sandblasted / Antique – For a rustic, weathered appearance.
• Bush-hammered – Coarse-textured, slip-resistant surface for exterior or rustic applications.
