Common Applications

• Interior flooring & wall cladding
• Bathroom & kitchen countertops
• Staircases
• Fireplaces

Maintenance

Use pH-neutral stone cleaners. Periodic sealing recommended to prevent staining (especially in kitchens and bathrooms). Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners which can etch the surface. Polished surfaces may show etching or dull spots with acids (like lemon juice or vinegar). 

Cutting Sizes (cm)

• Tiles: 30×30, 40×40, 30×60, 40×60, 60×60
• Slabs: 2 cm and 3 cm thickness (standard)
• Custom dimensions on request
• Cut-to-size panels: Available for specific projects

Surface Finish Options

• Polished: Enhances color and veining; reflective and luxurious.
• Honed: Smooth matte finish; elegant and less prone to etching visibility.
• Brushed: Slightly textured; offers an aged appearance.
